2024 Clinics – Let’s Ride!

Posted on January 23, 2024January 24, 2024 by Kristen Bosgraf

Our team was unbelievably blessed in 2023 with wonderful hosts and facilities for our 3 and 5 Day clinics! That trend is carrying over to 2024 and our calendar is already full. If you are looking for an amazing learning opportunity for both you and your horse, consider joining our team for a clinic in 2024!

Our clinics take a maximum of 15 riders; we want to ensure every rider gets the attention and time they need to understand each concept that is covered over the course of the clinic. In addition, auditors are always welcome to join in on the fun!

Cost for our clinics are:
3-Day Rider – $900
5-Day Rider – $1250
Auditors – $25/day
These fees do not include stalls or hookups, though most facilities do offer those options for the events. Check event details for pricing – some may include facility fees.

2024 Host Facilites

Unique Opportunity to Learn with John Lyons

Posted on December 18, 2023December 18, 2023 by Kristen Bosgraf

If working with John Lyons is on your bucket list – 2024 is your year! John is offering several opportunities to experience his conditioned response training system first hand.

Two Week Intensive in North Carolina

It’s not a clinic with 10 riders over 4 days and greatly varied rider levels. It’s an in-depth, detailed course in effectively changing your concepts in traditional training. Spend one on one time with possibly one of the best creative thinkers in training. This course will only accept three qualified riders to participate. Upon completion, you will receive a certificate of completion in recognition of your accomplishment!

The course starts on January 5, 2024. The cost is $10,000. Stalls are included. Bedding, feed and cleaning are not included. The course will be conducted out of Michael Lyons Horsemanship facility in Randleman, NC. Cabins are available at an additional charge of $750 for the two weeks.

CALL John Lyons directly at 970-366-2856 to inquire. Two spots currently open!

Did you know the following?

-40 different performance related benefits come from the hind quarters

-7 come from the shoulders

-3 come from the head, neck and mouth

-The head and neck are like a Christmas tree ornament; no wrong place to hang it but never use it for directional control, speed control, or to increase speed.

-Suppling or giving to the bit always takes out performance

-Softening of the mouth using the mouth is counterproductive and looses performance

-The mouth is never the part of the horse that is pulling on the bit.

-100% of every maneuver we do with the horse should involve the hindquarters first. Legs to control the hindquarters are ineffective 80% of the time. Therefore we just give up on using or involving the hind quarters

-99% plus riders use only the nose and mouth to guide and control their horse.

-The rider should be riding an 11” horse not a ten foot horse.

-The tail of the horse will teach the horse directional control 100% better and 50 times faster than the mouth

-The difference between aids. What controls direction what controls speed and what happens when we miss use or mix them up. What does what?

-99.9% of all riders can not effectively control the elevation of the horse’s head at any or all speeds. Nor the hind quarters or shoulders.

-What is the formula for increasing and improving performance?

-Overuse of our aids leads to more lack of control.

-We can greatly simplify our cue system while making it far more effective and teaching the horse much faster.

-Never ride an unbroke horse always ride a performance horse. Never warm up a horse.

-Goals are never distance

-Effectively eliminating working on negative behaviors while strengthening the bond and relationship with the horse.

-How can I get my horse to love being with me?

All of the above will be covered in-depth during the two week training program. Your investment in your learning will be repaid 1000 times over. This is not a clinic, it is an individual special course opening up a complete change in your training.

Intensive Horse Training Workshops in Scottsdale, AZ!

Posted on October 7, 2022April 21, 2023 by Kristen Bosgraf

Attending a workshop with Josh Lyons is an incredible way to improve your horsemanship and your relationship with your horse. Workshops are designed to meet the needs of each individual rider – no student is overlooked or gets lost in a “production line”. Our small class size allows everyone to find SUCCESS!!!

During the course of 3-Day Workshops you can expect that both horse and rider will learn foundation exercises, lessons, and principals covered in the conditioned response program offered at Lyons Legacy. Riders will first and foremost learn to effectively control their horse. No matter if you have been horseback for years or rode a horse years ago, all riders have the same common goal: to improve the level of control they have in regards to the horse they are riding. Lyons Legacy is here to help you reach that goal and take your horsemanship to the next level.

The cost of our 3- Day Workshop is $900 per horse and rider. Auditors (Fence sitters) are always welcome for $25 per day.

5-Day workshops are 1 Week of totally immersive hands-on instruction. The instructor will utilize the see
one, do one, and teach one training methodology. Instruction and demonstrations will be given
during the morning and afternoon sessions. The riders will then train on their horse to perform
the exercises. Small class sizes allow coaching and evaluation to build your skills in a fun,
supportive setting.

The cost of our 5- Day Workshop is $1250 per horse and rider. Auditors (Fence sitters) are always welcome for $25 per day.
