Q: How can I find John Lyons horse trainers near me in Columbia, SC?
A: Individual listings indicate whether each horseman is certified by famous trainers such as John Lyons, Richard Shrake and Pat Parelli—or if they're "independent operators." Click on the links in the left column, "South Carolina" in this case, for a city-by-city listing of pro horse trainers near you.

Q: How do I locate a good horse trainer in Texas?
A: Clicking on "Texas" will bring you to a directory of horse training professionals in Texas. Make sure you ask for references - and call those prior clients before trying out any trainer. Remember, more often than not, saving a few pennies up front (on a fly-by-night so-called "pro") will cost you in the long run. How much do broken ribs cost these days in terms of hospital bills and lost work?

An excerpt:

If you think about it, you now have the horse lungeing - we just need to add a little space between us to complete the picture. If you're holding the lead 6 inches from the clip, move away to 12 inches and re-teach the horse to move out and around you upon request. Work until your horse is moving around you comfortably and politely about six feet from you. If your horse wants to stay near you and refuses to move away, do what it takes to get him away from you. This is important because it's really not cute for a horse to ignore your command and to insist instead on "hanging out with you." It's very dangerous, in fact, because it creates a very large, very spoiled child, one that may learn to kick and bite to get his way. He won't hold it against you if you hang tough and enforce the rules - but he will grow increasingly belligerent if allowed to do as he pleases. (Big Benefit of Lungeing Alert: You're teaching your horse to respect your personal space.) Tip: As the horse begins to work away from you at greater distances, you will want to trade in your dressage whip for something longer like a traditional lunge whip. Personally, I use the end of the lunge line instead. I “twirl” it at the hip to say “move” and twirl it more menacingly or even smacking the horse with it if it balks and won’t speed up or freezes. (I like the coiled rope better than a whip of any sort because it’s handy and easier to maneuver – and because it’s the sound and nebulous shape that gets them moving instead of actual pain. You could hit your grandma with it and not hurt her, so it’s a nice trade. Just be very careful to not get tangled up in it. Nervous horses and long lines make for dangerous situations.)
