I discovered John Lyons at a time when I was
searching for answers to some horse training issues. His ideas
sounded good, felt right and best of all, worked! I was hooked and
soon was absorbing all I could find. For many years I dreamed of
attending the Certification program in Parachute, Colorado. But
"life" generally kept it just that, a dream. Never one to totally
give up, even when I probably should, I continued to educate myself and my
horses using the Lyons Conditioned Response methods.
A group of like-minded horse friends joined me in my pursuit and we sought
each others input into our interpretation of the Lyons methods.
Finally, we felt ready to be "tested by the teacher" and attended a 3 day
clinic being taught by Josh Lyons.
It became a critical turning point.
With the support and encouragement of my friends and family, I applied and
was accepted into the Certification program in 2007. This was a huge
commitment for not only me, but my family as well. In my absence,
all my responsibilities and work would fall onto them, and that was no
small task. My daughter very capably took over the day to day
operations of our boarding and breeding facility that runs between 25 and
35 Appaloosa horses. I was able to turn my attention totally to the task
at hand - to absorb every piece of information I could from Josh and John in
12 weeks.
It was a truly amazing experience. Now I am offering to share the
knowledge and skills I have gained with you to help you develop a wonderful relationship with your
equine partner. Take a look at our programs and I hope to meet you and
your horse soon!
Any time we spend with our horses should be
considered "training". Whether it be positive or not is up to us. Make all your time spent with your horse a
beneficial experience for both of you.
