Sample Our Newsletter From "Four Things You Need to Train Your Horse," Issue 1, part 1 of our FREE monthly newsletter
Re: horse ground training
Training a horse is pretty simple. It's four things: motivator, spot, direction, reward. That's all training a horse is. First, motivation. Do you have a job? What if I asked you to quit your job? What if I said I was going to hire you and give you two bucks an hour. Would you do it? Working with a horse is very similar. You're asking the horse to quit his job and come work for you. His job as you begin training is to get out of that arena as fast as he can, or to get back to that stall or to a buddy horse or find food. They have all kinds of jobs – and their jobs keep changing.
Our job is to create a motivator that causes the horse to quit his job and come work for us. Quit trying to get out of the gate; quit trying to get to the other horse. Quit trying to pick up your left lead and come work for me. Some horses you can hire for two bucks an hour and some will cost you forty. That's just the way it happens. Some horses you really gotta motivate; you gotta say, "No, I really want you to come work for me."
John Lyons is a trainer who is recognized and acclaimed worldwide for developing a "want to" attitude in horses. Lyons has used perceptiveness and patience, coupled with "want to" training techniques in his won horses as well as hundreds of his clients’. Lyons travels throughout the country sharing his success in clinics and symposiums year round. In this unique tape Lyons shares the techniques that have made him a successful trainer.
Riders of all levels will benefit from the demonstrations and helpful pointers Lyons shares. Pointers on using a rope and how to snub up a horse safely. As well as saddling and riding an unbroken colt for the first time and how the sacking out process can be done in a few minutes with positive results.
Lyons clearly explains the advantages of using a round pen and many how to’s. How to’s including – how to get a horse’s attention, how to approach and saddle easily, how to deal with your horse’s fears (from spookiness to being head-shy), how to correct attitude problems and how to regain confidence with your horse.
The tape also includes extras, like one of Lyon’s stallions, Bright Zip, doing some inspiring bridleless work. Plus an excerpt from a 1985 video showing Lyons’ in action at one of his Australian training schools.
John Lyons’ ability to teach the "want to" attitude is unmatched in the horse industry today. His training concept is a definite must for all horse enthusiasts, making this tape a valuable addition to all training libraries.
