Q: How can I find John Lyons horse trainers near me in Ogden, UT?
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, "Utah" 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 Minnesota?
A: Clicking on "Minnesota" will bring you to a directory of horse training professionals in Minnesota. 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:
At first, he'll take a step to the left then immediately move back against the wall. But what you'll soon notice is that your horse will start simply walking with his hip jutted progressively farther out and away from the wall until he’s actually sidepassing to his left. Remember how they like to skip "Step B" when they know "Step C" gets the release? (You won't have to worry about "training" his shoulders, because the overall movement teaches them their position.) As it becomes obvious to you that the horse now makes the connection between a tap (or even the very raising of your arm) and “move my hips to the left” you can progressively ask for more correct steps, stopping less frequently for petting bouts, asking for the horse to step repeatedly at a true ninety-degree angle to the wall. Foster true sideways movement, “tapping his hips back into place” should they begin to lag. (Don’t go directly from the horse taking two correct steps to circling the arena 12 times – use your brain here. Push this too fast and your horse will learn that sideways movement doesn’t get him a release and contrarily begin looking for other ways to get a release. Then you’re sliding backwards. Always build on your improvements by slowly increasing the amount of time between your releases. If you’re getting correct one minute – and a fight the next – it may be because you asked for too much improvement too fast.)
