Performance Riding 101
with Michael & Julia Lyons
January 24- 25th
Horse training is simple. It may not be easy, but it is simple. Our program is set up so that everyone can learn to be the best rider and trainer for their own horse. I am nothing special, if I can do it, so can you."
-Michael Lyons
When coming to a clinic with Michael, he is going to provide you with your very own program that will allow you to reach the goals that you desire. Each clinic is tailored to the horse and riders needs. Come and expect to RIDE!
Michael firmly believes in giving each rider the tools they need to put the pieces together in their training. You should not expect your learning to end when the clinic is over!
