| I
specialize in teaching the John Lyons Concepts,
Methods, Exercises and Techniques because they:
|
| 1)
ALWAYS work on EVERY horse. |
| 2)
Give NO PAIN to the horse. |
| 3)
Are TEACHING methods: |
| a.
With lesson plans that have step by step direction. |
| b.
That are simple enough for the horse and the handler
to understand. |
| c.
That offer MEASURABILITY so the horse owner
can see the improvements as they take place. It
gives them proof that their goals are being met
by seeing the horse's performance and by being
able to control the horse themselves. The horse's
performance is what tells us that he is ready
to go on to the next step or that he has learned
the last session. |
| d.
That offer REWARDS to the horse for his
efforts. |
| 4)
Make SENSE to the teacher and the students. |
| 5)
Teach an actual LANGUAGE that enables the
horse and human to communicate with each other. |
| 6)
Create TRUST in humans by the horse and
vice versa. |
| 7)
Build PARTNERSHIPS between the horse and
the human. |
| 8)
Always emphasize SAFETY for the human and
the horse.

|
I
have worked with many horses of varying ages
from a few days old to seniors.
|
|
| I
have worked with many breeds from... |
Warmbloods to Mustangs, including Arabians, Appaloosas, Paints, Peruvian Pasos,
Quarter Horses, Rocky Mountain Gaited Horses, Thorough Breds, Percherons,
Belgian Drafts, Mules and Miniatures.
|
| 1)
With varying GOALS from: |
| a.
Correcting RUDE and DANGEROUS behaviors
to teaching the well behaved horse. |
| b.
FRIGHTENED horse to the bold and AGGRESSIVE. |
| c.
Horses with NICE dispositions to NASTY
attitudes. |
| d.
Building confidence in PEOPLE with fears
from accidents or who are afraid the horse will
do something they can't control.
|
|
| I
believe there is a QUIET, CALM, FRIENDLY, SWEET,
OBEDIENT animal inside every horse just waiting
to get out. I further believe that through the teachings
of John Lyons, I have the tools to let that horse
out and can teach you to do the same. |
