Josh became a top horseman at an early age. Growing up on a cattle ranch, he learned the art of horsemanship from his father, John Lyons, "The Most Trusted Horseman in America." Together, Josh and John created the Lyons Certification program. At the age of 16, Josh began teaching the program at the Cowboy-Up ranch in Parachute, Colorado. His natural horsemanship abilities, plus his talents in teaching horsemanship skills as a horse trainer and top horse whisperer, have made him a popular guest at horse expositions in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia. He has led programs at the Midwest Horse Fair and the Equine Affair, and he was invited to participate in the "In a Whisper Challenge" where he was named the undisputed winner.
