Lyons, John (1947 – ....)

« Dresseur américain que l’on a rapproché de la mouvence "équitation naturelle des chuchoteurs". Sa méthode repose sur le principe des réponses conditionnées liées au renforcement et à l’habituation. Lyons propose des stages depuis 1980. Il a écrit plusieurs livres sur le sujet, fondateur du magazine Perfect Horse. Il vit et travaille à Parachute, Colorado. » Bibliothèque Mondiale du Cheval

« John Lyons, known as "America’s most trusted trainer," is renowned for his gentle, conditioned-response training approach. Through his 20-plus years of conducting clinics, demonstrations, and symposiums, and his extensive collection of books and videos, he has helped thousands of horse owners worldwide increase their understanding of their horses, and achieve a trusting relationship with them. The hallmark of John’s training style is his use of gradual, step-by-step lesson plans to teach a horse to do just about anything. According to John, breaking a skill down into many simple steps sets a horse up for success by gradually building his confidence and increasing his understanding of what’s being asked of him. In 1995, John’s methods were put to the test when his beloved Appaloosa stallion, Bright Zip, lost his eyesight due to an allergic reaction to a vaccine. With patience and perseverance, though, the duo developed an even stronger bond, and gradually adjusted to Zip’s blindness. Today, Zip is a regular attraction at equine-related events across the country. John resides at his Cowboy Up Ranch in Parachute, Colorado. He has four grown children— daughters Tammy Jo Lewis, Sandy Nickal, and Brandi DeVoto, and son Josh—and seven grandchildren. Josh is following in his father’s bootsteps, conducting clinics and overseeing the 12-week certification programs. » Présentation de l’éditeur (2002)
