You won't find a harder worker period. He works harder than
anyone I know. He can pinpoint the exact problem/error the horse
or rider is having and always seems to have a workable solution.
The greatest think is he calls it as he sees it, he does not sugar
coat anything and is very honest, just an exceptional experience
all around.

was delivered in a way that enable me to go home and practice. I
look forward to returning!  Candy and Jumpy

This clinic was very informative and very helpful to me and will
help me with my clients for future work with them.  Velvet and
Nellie

Amazing clinic and so much information! I have spent 9 years
taking lessons from other instructors and in one clinic, I have
learned more than all of my lessons combined. Lyle really does a
nice job of explaining the theory behind training methods so you
understand the horse at a whole new level.I have a better
understanding of why my horse is doing things and what I need
to do to correct it and advance our training together.  Sara and
Cody

Lyle has a gift in his ability to communicate with horses and his
bigger gift is the ability to teach others how to develop their
communication with their horse.  Jeri and Miss Paula Lena

Clinic and Lessons:
      We offer weekend clinics, evening clinics, and lessons for the beginner to the advanced
rider. Our clinics and lessons are designed to teach you how to train and finish your own reining
or reined cow horse. The evening and weekend clinics are hands-on, "do it yourself" intense
sessions for the rider who is eager to learn all the tools needed to train horses to work cattle
and/or perform reining maneuvers. The clinics are a great opportunity to interact with other riders
and learn in a group setting. The "weekend" clinics are Saturday and Sunday and at least 8 hours
per day. The "evening" clinics are a session of two or more shorter clinics that build on one
another and are held monthly or bi-monthly or weekly and are 3-4 hours in length.  The lessons
have the same goal, but are typically shorter duration and during the weekday.
       Our clinics and lessons focus on giving your horse a solid reining foundation. These clinics
and lessons are beneficial for anyone who desires a soft, supple, more responsive horse and a
higher level of communication with their equine partner. A horse that has been properly trained
with a solid reining foundation will excel in any discipline.
