Steven is a John Lyons Certified Trainer, and both he and Anne believe that kindness, consistency, and clarity are the most effective tools in horse training.  Between them, they have handled literally thousands of horses.  They have started horses for pleasure riders who want to have fun and be safe on the trail.  They have taught new riders the skills and confidence to begin showing successfully, and helped seasoned competitors improve their performance.  They also regularly work with other professionals in the dressage, reining, hunter/jumper, and racing industries who need help with some of their more challenging horses. 

Here is a recent e-mail that we were so happy to receive,

from a professional hunter trainer in the Tampa area.  Her daughter's new horse was very aggressive, especially around food, and explosive under saddle:

Bobo came home fine. We really saw his improvement on Saturday when Jasmine got on to ride. She tacked him up with a couple of good disciplines then got on in the ring to ride. Right after she started, the horse in the pasture that directly surrounds the ring lost her mind, and started at a full gallop screaming around the ring. A momentary panic in Jazz's face, then she went directly to work. Bobo spooked briefly, Jasmine did a quick discipline, and then he was fine. Everyone was amazed. Before that, he would have literally been deadly to Jazz and everyone else in the ring. Today he was a perfect gentleman. The situation passed and no problems came up. Tonight when she went to blanket him, he had just been fed. She said, "back up, this is my space," he went to the back of the stall, she put the blanket on, had to adjust the straps under his belly, walked out, said, "ok," and only then did he slowly go back to his food. 
 
In our business, people all to often tell us what we are doing wrong, but I want to thank the two of you from the bottom of my heart. The peace knowing that this is all possible is amazing.
 
Thank you and enjoy your weekend.
