I know John. He is a true master of horsemanship

You are not being clear to the horse.

John Lyons is the BEST hands down for trailer loading. When you use his methods, not ONLY will they load in the middle of a hurricane with all their buddies screaming at them, they will load quietly and safely...and maybe most importantly will UNLOAD the same way. Most people think the most important thing is that they get in, and you can shut the door on them. John teaches ONE foot in, then ONE foot back out. They are rock solid with this method, and because they're so solid, you will never have an issue again...and that is going to save you a ton of time and grief in the future. Lyons is an absolute MASTER. Thx John!!

Wow. Just wow

It's a old video. Am hoping the gentleman has changed his understanding of horses. This horse got flooded and trainer is ignoring it.

I attended three of John’s symposiums in the early 90’s. Two as a spectator, one as a participant at Cal Poly Pomona. I was in my early 20’s and didn’t realize the gift I had received at the time BUT it did change the way I viewed horsemanship! ❤

Horse wants to play. C'mon can't school wait a little while.

What a wonderful teacher. So encouraging. Breaking everything down to achievable goals

This guy is still the best.

There is more to shoveling shit than shoveling shit!

Nice, so nice!!

I learned from John Lyons in the early 80s. He gave me a solid foundation to be the good horseman I am today. Not bragging but the round pen completely changed and allowed me to do colts and have a good career working horses. Thanks John I ever so grateful for your ability to convey your expertise to me!!

Gosh, some of us have come a long way from 'roundpenning.' Roundpenning a Stallion. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKe0eY2wrthneKc

Nice little arab

best method..i have used this with great success on an unhandled 2yo gelding...

John's methods are sound, they build trust and make for excellent ground manners. I've been to several symposiums and am a big fan. 👍

I have the full series , perfect start for the unbroke horse. For people saying negative things, shame on you. When you have to mention other horse trainers that whip the snot or have to use exaggerated body gestures to get their horse to lead or backup, pathetic. Het your head out of the clouds, you can train your horse with a thumb movement. John is beyond fabulous with horses in an extremely genuine credible guy. Why does everything have to be a debate! Thanks John n Josh. 🧡

In as fare as man/horse communication goes, John Lyons is the only instructor I agree 100% with. No BS.

What’s this pressure all about. It’s about driving and blocking that’s all.!

Amazing and the best horseman with amazing horsemanship philosophy and methodology John Lyons !!!!

4:29 if the horse just does not want to slow down. Good vids wish you kept going with the channel. But I see your children are carrying on the tradition. Love you guys

These videos don't get enough credit as they should, by far. This guy is the true Horse Whisperer!!

Blimey!... I learnt something today.

If I am uncoordinated on my horse I either am not well or will not be well by the next day. It's a reliable indicator that something isn't right with my health.

I love his analogies!!🌹😁

I share this video with all my friends!!! ALL the time! Thank you for this video! It is great for everyone to watch!!

It makes sense, but what if I don't want to turn my horse around, I just want to slow down a horse that is walking faster than I need, and I don't want to be nagging at the bit. Could I train it to slow at a shifting back motion in the saddle?

Awesome demonstration.. Thank you very much...

thats soo cool, getting him to follow you as you turn like that! i once or twice got my horse to back up whilst i was standing aside her head facing in the same direction as her and i walked backwards and she did too.

I thought you always wanted your horse to face you when turning, not turn it's butt towards you?

He is pulling back because he has not been taught to give to pressure.

tradução ridicula. não da para entender nada .Uma vergonha.Tem que ser um tradutor que entenda de equinos ou de redeas ou conhecimento minimo de treinamento equestre.

John Lyons is the best trainer ever. Gentle and I have used his methods for over 25 years. Will always continue to do so!

We got to meet John back in the late 80's during some of his rare trips to Florida... This was way before the internet, KZbin, and even DVD's... it was called VHS tapes. Used his training methods to work with many horses of ours including a few that the owners claimed to be un-trainable. People would be amazed how quickly horses would respond to these methods and it would become fun for the horse. The 3 rules, I don't get hurt, the horse does not get hurt, and end on a positive note! no matter how bad a training day is, there is always a positive note. We as humans, must be able to read their ques.

He is not lazy. he is relaxed and listening to the rider..very good!! LIKE !!!

Manners are everything.

I once got first hand training from tJohn. He's the best.

I work at a horse farm and the horses are show horses my problem is that when i take them out of the stalls they are fine up until about 10yards till the field imma let them in and they start to pull their head back and start fighting with me in the sense to where i cant unhook my lead to let them go or get close bc theyre throwing their front legs at me any tips on how to correct this p.s these horses are 16yrs plus

I can say from personal experience that John Lyons is heads above the rest.

I know from personal experience how well John Lyons training methods work. They are by far the best I have ever come across.

I have yet to see a training video on a horse that will buck at you even trying to halter and lead rope train. Basically training a horse from the very start. I see most of these guys using trained horses.

All my horses are taught this

This works GREAT. The horse can feel you stop riding and he stops.

This is an excellent example of John's wonderful training of horse and rider. Please understand his whole approach and study his sensible methods before making judgements about little details you might see in these short videos. He is truely marvelous.

I think an added explanation about reactive and active riders is simply that the active rider ask for a behavior and the reactive rider is responding to a behavior. Love your training/explaining style. For me it bridges the gap between clicker training and natural horsemanship. Versa Buck Branamen I think your approach is smarter.

Beautiful, thanks for taking the time to share your wisdom John.

Thanks for posting!! I practiced these methods in my initial training of my horse (I have your ground school and riding manuals) I thought I had a very willing/giving horse, but when I tied her to a post, she pulled back and almost hurt herself. I bought the blocker ring and that helps, but I'm going to go back and practice these foundations. Thanks again!

The video quality makes it very difficult to see how he put pressure on the opposite side of the horse's head to make him turn left, and it's not explained except to "put pressure" on his nose. I don't understand how you can put pressure on something that's facing away from you to draw it toward you.

This is a really good way of teaching horse training it makes more simply for the person to understand and the horse!!!

Good video about basics, easilly and often forgotten by a lot of us. This practices make life a lot easier
