John Lyons' symposia have introduced tens of thousands of riders each year to a training philosophy that virtually guarantees success.  His proven training program is centered around his belief that horses are conditioned-response animals and as such can be thoroughly trained using principles based on common sense and logic.

With emphasis on understanding and communicating with the horse, and on the application of gentle persuasion over force, John Lyons covers every critical aspect of training, from the first saddling and ride to ground training and trail work.  He includes coverage of specific problems trainers face, such as kicking and striking, head tossing, biting and spooking, and many others.  Lyons also features a complete discussion of his highly effective "round pen" training and of safe, reliable trailer loading.

Lyons on Horses offers practical and sound advice that is valuable to all riders and trainers, both English and Western style, who will benefit tremendously from using the revolutionary techniques offered in this book.

John Lyons' clinics and symposia attract thousands of participants a year throughout the country.  His two videos, "Round Pen Reasoning" and "Leading and Loading Safely," are bestsellers.  He lives in Parachute, Colorado.  Sinclair Browning is a journalist who lives in Tucson Arizona.
