Book Reviews of Lyons on Horses: John Lyons' Proven Conditioned-Response Training Program

Book Review: CONDITIONED-RESPONSE TRAINING? IT ACTUALLY WORKS!
Summary: 5 Stars

After more than 20 years of not riding or owning a horse, and switching from English to Western, I was very nervous and intimidate when I bought my 3-yr old Missouri Fox Trotter mare!! The very first chapter's section on "The Importance Of Goals" set the perimeters by which I began my quest to become the leader of this two-part "herd" and become trusting "partners".

The pages to chapter two - "Round-Pen Reasoning" - are dog-eared from re-reading it over and over. Whenever my horse does not perform a particular lesson as I am requesting, I go back to the book and realize that it is because I am not asking in the right way! Although my horse had already been gently broken and trained, I felt that by taking both of us back to the basic beginings would be the best way for both horse and rider to become consistant in understanding of cues and develop trust.

The "Advanced Leading" chapter has put an end to the arm-jerking and pulling/grass eating. I"m still not sure which one of us benefited most from the "Facing Fear" chapter; and the "First Ride" chapter has made me revert back to the gentle snaffle bit and greatly lighten up with my hands! I consider myself to be a novice in the horse "arena" and I was so please to find a book that was not only extremely helpful; but written in language that I could readily understand. I would definately recommend "Lyons On Horses" to anyone who wishes to build a partnership with their horse through rational conditioned-responsive training rather than through intimidation!!
