ARE YOU READY TO TAKE YOUR HORSEMANSHIP TO
THE NEXT LEVEL?

We are excited to offer you the Josh Lyons Accreditation Program! This new program was inspired by Josh's passion for performance riding. This accommodates any horse person with a solid foundation and desire to take their training to the next level.
 

 Like the certification program, it will be run in the same manner.  The session will last a total of 4 weeks.  Each trainer will come for 2 weeks, have 1 to 2 weeks off to digest all they learned, and then return to fine tune all they can during the final 2 weeks before graduation.   Once again, enrollment will be limited to only 3 to 5 students to ensure complete attention from Josh to each and every detail that each trainer deserves.  This course will take the training to the next level of performance and will focus primarily on improving the level of finish work in both, the horse and the trainer.
