3-DAY HORSE RIDING CLINICS

5-DAY HORSE TRAINING CLINICS

The Lyons Certification Program was definitely a ‘life changing’ event for me. Not only did it lead me into what is now a very successful training career but it increased both my self-esteem and self-confidence immeasurably.

Under Josh Lyons’ guidance and training, I observed a remarkable improvement in my own ability and confidence as a trainer as well as the two horses I had brought with me to the certification program.  The Josh Lyons Horsemanship Certification Program is truly a wealth of knowledge
Officer Loisel CruzCity of Miami Police Department, Mounted Patrol Detail
I was 56 years old and had no intention of changing careers to train horses. My time working with Josh Lyons changed all of that. I had trained horses, been to clinics, watched videos and DVD’s but the Lyons Legacy certification took me to an entirely different level. Very few things in my life have been as transforming as Lyons Legacy.

In 2006 I completed the John & Josh Lyons Certified Trainers Program. It was Josh Lyons that gave me inspiration to further my equine education even more. In 2007 & 2008 I was given an opportunity by Josh to work with him as an instructor, teaching the Certified Trainers Program. An opportunity of a lifetime that I will forever be thankful for.

The John & Josh Lyons Certification Program gave me the tools and knowledge to build my business and watch it grow. I have recommended the Lyons Certification Programs without reservation, noting especially the tremendous communication, professionalism and people skills John and Josh possess. With the knowledge and experience I’ve gained from John & Josh Lyons, I have more clients than I can keep up with.

I discovered during the course of our 8 months in CO that I possess a love of teaching that surprised even me. What began as a journey of self-discovery blossomed into, not only that, but a discovery of a deep passion for passing on the teachings of John and Josh Lyons to other horse owners. This program builds better people, better communicators, better problem solvers…people who can give back to their community, people who are able to unite a community.
Kim RobitailleTwo Minds – One Ride
As I look back on my Certification/Accreditation experience, I see it as the most significant Equine experience of my life. It was not only time on task with the most knowledgeable horse trainer in America, but it was both specific to the trainer’s needs and a huge challenge. It was rewarding far beyond what I anticipated and was worth every penny spent. It was not just an event, but rather the beginning of a journey, a quest for excellence.
