PROGRAMS - Horse Training Certification Overview
Colorado Campus
Our Colorado Campus offers both the John & Josh Lyons Certification Program, the Josh Lyons Accreditation Program, and the Therapeutic Riding and Horsemanship Program. These horse training certification programs are taught at the Diamond J Equestrian Center in Fountain and can be taken in any order. Students can bring their own two horses or choose to rent horses for use during the program.
The John & Josh Lyons Certification Program focuses on ground work, starting horses under saddle, and building your business. We will cover topics such as: Developing Leadership Skills, How to Set Up Clinics, Planning Demonstrations, Developing Sponsor Relationships, Advertising, Social Media, Networking and Marketing.
The Josh Lyons Accreditation Program is structured to specifically target and refine the horse training techniques needed to go to the show pen or train higher level performance-based riders and clients. Modules included: The Essentials, The 5 Releases, Serpentines, Shoulder Work, Gear Work, and Speed Control & Rider Position.
The Therapeutic Riding and Horsemanship Program is to prepare students for employment within the Equine Assisted Services workforce and to offer preparation for national certification as PATH Intl.

The program aligns with industry standards and supports student readiness for national certification and workforce entry in therapeutic horsemanship and related equine-assisted fields.
