Featuring the World’s Best Horseman…..JOSH LYONS  www.lyonslegacy.com

Josh Lyons has earned a place among the world’s top horsemen by applying a simple philosophy: “Knowledge and motivation are the only tools that you need to bring with you into your barn.” As one of the world’s best horse trainers and clinicians, Josh helps all levels of horse enthusiasts from trainers to trail riders to have a better relationship with their horse. Josh’s attitude towards horsemanship is based on “trust not trauma.” His proven success in “solving anyone’s horse problem” has made him a top horseman and horse trainer. The core of Josh’s program is a unique method of conditioned response horse training that modifies the horse enthusiast’s attitude towards the horse by providing in-depth understanding and knowledge.

All proceeds from this inaugural event will benefit NBTR. In 2009 the event brought over 400 people in attendance. This included 40+ speakers/clinicians/extravaganza participants, 24 vendors and 73 volunteers.
