Product Details

Product Description

From Library Journal

Reading this book is almost as much fun as attending one of Lyons's clinics. Although Lyons rides Western, his training methods apply to all horses and riders. From leading a horse to loading the animal into a trailer, he has the answers to all training problems, and his lessons are well organized, easy to understand and follow. Lyons provides information that is invaluable for trainers working with green horses, and he offers owners with older horses advice on how to correct bad habits. A great companion to his videos, this work is recommended for all public libraries and libraries with collections emphasizing equine history and training. It is a must for first-time horse owners as well as veterans.
- Anne A. Salter, Atlanta Historical Society Lib.

3.0 out of 5 stars A generic training aid, Jun 18 2003
By ELENA J COURTEMANCHE (APO, AE United States) - See all my reviews
I felt like this book had a very generic outlook on things. It just didn't go in depth enough to satisfy what I wanted to learn. If you are truly looking to get a better partnership with you and your horse, I recommend Pat Parelli's book: Natural Horsemanship. It just has a more easy to read and more horse savvy format than this book seemed to.

5.0 out of 5 stars a very good guide, Mar 14 2003
By Elise Moss "Mountain Woman" (Los Gatos, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have been using this book as I work with my 7 year old gelding and see a big improvement in his behavior. This book does not replace a clinic or working with a trainer, but it is a good addition to any equistrian's library.

4.0 out of 5 stars An important piece of the John Lyons Picture, Sep 25 2002
John teaches concept as much as technique and that is important. John encourages you consider broad principals and define your goals. Having participated in several symposiums and a clinic, most of everything I do was influenced by John Lyons and this book was an important part of that. The foundation for training my own Andalusian Stallion is largely based on concepts from this book. I believe you also need two important videos by John: "Round Pen Reasoning" and "Leading and Loading". John never claims to be the only enlightened trainer, but in my view he is one of the best. You can dedicate a lifetime to learning about horses, and this book is a great starter. But in the end, you will learn the most from your horse not from other books. I believe John would agree.
