JOHN LYONS JOINS
HORSES ON RFD-TV

John and Jody Lyons invite you into their life and into their family, home, barns and horses. Take trips with them to the mountains, prairie, and seashores. John and Jody, with the help of their friends and family want to give you the knowledge you’re looking for to have a great relationship with your horse, plus having some fun along the way.

Here is your chance to watch and learn from the trainer whom, from the very beginning, was instrumental in changing an industry. John has received many awards for his outstanding ability as a teacher of people and horses by many organizations, Universities, and expos such as Equitana, and Equine Affaire. Many of the trainers and clinicians today use many of his methods and are passing them along in their clinics, shows, and demonstrations. Over one hundred eighty certified trainers and clinicians from the United States and other countries have completed his certification program in Colorado and are passing his techniques along to other horse owners. His approach to teaching horses and people continues to be a progressing model and standard for the horse industry. Twenty four years of teaching experience, thousands of horses and being a leader in the industry guarantees the information you will receive on this show will be just what you want, what your horse needs, and what you will enjoy.

The show promises to be both entertaining and informative for both the horse owner and non-horse owner. Each one hour show will be packed with John’s horse training techniques that you can use on your horse, which will solve your most difficult problems or develop that ‘want to’ attitude and relationship you have always dreamed of having with your horse. Topics to be covered on horse training are as wide as the horse himself. From solving trail problems, show problems, or behavior problems such as buddy sour, barn sour, leading, pulling back while standing tied, rearing, kicking, trailering and loading, or dealing with vet problems, John will give you problem solving solutions to these and many more in ways that are safe for you and your horse. How about the higher-level performance horse owner who wants to improve their horse’s performance? Are you showing western pleasure, trail, reining, jumping, eventing, doing dressage, driving, wanting to work cattle, rope or team pen? This show is for you because John will demonstrate ways to help you to really improve your horse’s performance. Exercises for the show horse at all levels of performance and almost every style of riding will be demonstrated at one time or another on the show. This is your show, so write John’s web site and tell him what areas of performance you would like to see him cover on the show. He can help you with your horse’s performance in a very short period of time.

Want to go trail riding, camping, see some beautiful sites with your horse and enjoy him at the campfire with coffee on a beautiful morning? Well, come on along ‘cause that’s where we’re going. How about introducing your horse to cattle? If you want to rope, team pen, go on a cattle drive or a wagon train ride, then come along with us and let’s go play ‘cause we like to do those things, too. We will show you a way you can have a great time on the trail with a calm, safe, enjoyable horse – your horse. It’s all in how you teach your horse and you’re learning first, so come on! We will help you.

Would you like to teach your horse some fun tricks, to lie down, sit up, say yes or no when asked? We can help. How about the practical; kneel down so you can get on or come to you when you call him? It’s a piece of cake - you can do it and we can help. We can help you get your horse to stand on a stool, walk to you over a tarp, drag an object to you, or jump a jump while coming to you. It’s all fun, it’s training for you and your horse and it’s going to come right into your home, thanks to RFD-TV.


Over the years many of you have said, John, I want to know how to take care of my horse. How can I tell if my saddle fits? What saddle pad helps my horse the most and how can I tell that it does? How can I tell if the bandage is on right? How can I help my horse if he is sick or getting sick? What drugs should I keep at the barn, horse trailer, what about his teeth, his basic health, and what should I tell the vet when I call him when my horse is sick, to help the vet help me? I know you want practical information in terms you can understand that will help you help your horse. You’re right - being a horseman is more than just riding or training your horse. It’s learning how to take good care of our horse and knowing what the difference is between a good sales job, and good equipment. I have found just the person to help both of us learn. He is a real scientist who evaluates products independently and on a scientific basis. At OSU, he was the lead professor of Veterinary medicine, held the Biggs/Oxley Endowed Professorship in Equine Orthopaedic Surgery & Sports Medicine, and was Director of the Equine Sports Medicine Laboratory. (That is a scientist that evaluates products that are good for our horses).

He was second in command at Cornell University and Chief of Orthopaedic Veterinary surgery as well. His clinical practice involved training veterinary students, interns and residents at the Universities in diagnoses and treatment of racehorses, polo horses, rodeo athletes, endurance horses, and pleasure horses. In other words, he is a teacher with knowledge and is willing to share that knowledge.

He has traveled all over the world doing lectures, demonstrations, writing books, and published papers on many aspects of surgery, lameness, and care of our horses. He has over thirty years of experience in treating and loving horses and teaching people. Besides all of this knowledge, he is also a horseman, which means he is just like us. He loves his horses and is practical. He rides, he trains, he ropes, he shoes, he’s ours to share with you and he’s special. He lives in Hawaii with his wife Melanie and that doesn’t hurt because we’re going there too - just to ride on the beach and have some fun, so come along with us. His name is Dr. Michael Collier, DVM, and he will be on our show in January in “Help Me Help My Horse”. Don’t miss it.

We’re still not finished. We need one more of the ‘best of the best’.

He is one of the top five overall trainers in the world. He is only twenty-eight years old, but has already been teaching professional horse trainers for ten years. He is a great teacher and a better horseman. He can teach a horse to do almost anything you want, from tricks to world-class performance in almost any event and any style of riding.

He has won the Horse Whisper Challenge, worked with mustangs, unbroken horses, problem horses, performance horses of all types, has taught clinics, and is the head teacher and trainer of the most respected certification program in the country. He’s been the headline speaker, demonstrator and entertainer at many of the major horse expos around the country and in other parts of the world. He is our son, and we are very proud of him. He is Josh Lyons and he will be there for you and your horse on our show. He’s another person you won’t want to miss. All of these things are for your horse, but what about you? Do we have help for you and some of your needs? The answer is yes. Can we help you with your fear? Yes.

Can we help you with your anger towards your horse? Yes. Your frustration? Yes. Your consistency? Yes. Your lack of patience? Yes. We can and will help you understand your horse better, yourself better, even help you get along better with your family, kids, co- workers and friends, with your heavenly Father who loves you very much. We really want to help in any way that we can. We want to do the very best to make this hour the best hour of the week and we will work very hard for you because we know your hour is important.

John and Jody, along with Josh and Jana want to share their life with you. So come on along. The fun is just about to start and it promises to get better each and every week.
