About the Author
John has spent the last 25 years teaching thousands of people worldwide to better understand their horses. For his success in doing so, he’s earned the title of America’s Most Trusted Horseman. A pioneer in the clinician movement, John’s hallmark training style is the use of gradual, step-by-step lesson plans to solve problems and teach a horse to just about anything. A prime example of that program was John’s legendary Appaloosa stallion, Bright Zip, who is seen in some of this book’s chapters. (“Troubleshooting” was originally a series in Horse & Rider
Magazine from 1993 to 1997.) With John’s careful training, Zip faced bears, man-made “monsters,” and anything else John asked him to do for a photo shoot. For instance, in no time at all the trainer could teach Zip to rear or spook on command, then “fix” him immediately. For his efforts, the consistently good-natured stallion was rewarded with a spot in the Appaloosa Horse Club Hall of Fame; he was honored in 1994 as the Breyerfest Horse of the Year.

I HAVE A BUCKING PROBLEM!,
This review is from: John Lyons' Troubleshooting (Paperback)
I recently purchased a new mare. We had 2 really good rides and the 3rd was a disaster! The mare began bucking violently, without warning, and I was thrown to the ground. I purchased this book because the cover listed "bucking" as a problem area addressed in the book. I receieved the book and cannot find one thing about bucking. To say the least, I was very disappointed!!!
