September has flown by in the blink of an eye! While the weather is still warm and lovely, the leaves are slowly turning and falling – the first sign that fall is upon us! Team Lyons has spent the month in Colorado as we finish out or most recent round of certificate programs. We again had Troy Chappell assisting with those classes and here is what he had to say about these last two classes: “This group of students has been through a lot with injuries, sand blasted, colic, torrential rains, etc., but they all have come a long, long way. This class has put their heart and souls into it for sure and it shows in the arena. They’re all doing spins, stops, changes, etc. and doing it very, very well. In my opinion, this class has made the most progress of any class I’ve been around, great people!” So, let us congratulate our newest Lyons Legacy family members!
