BOOK DESCRIPTION

John Lyons's Spiritual Journey

John Lyons is undisputedly the most successful – and most respected – trainer and horseman of his generation. He has made a name for himself not with marketing hype or flashy demonstrations but through decades of understanding horses. He has turned training and working with horses into both an art and a science. Despite the fact that his methods and clinics are widely recognized both in and out of the horse industry, little can be found on the man behind the wisdom.

This is the only book to describe the real person behind the “natural horseman.” Many people might only know the persona in front of the audience, but behind it all is a real man with a history that has never been told before. This book is the story of John Lyons.

Written by Moira Harris with Tammy Jo Lyons, this book reveals John Lyons through his own words. It introduces the reader to the man behind the methods that have now become ingrained in horse training while presenting interesting personal essays on his life, philosophy, and vision for the future.
