Amber Lydic Professional Horse Training John and Josh Lyons Certified Trainer
Training
Philosophy
Ambers training philosophy
can be summed up with the following:
“Patience + Partnership = Performance”.
Having completed the John and Josh
Lyons Certification Program in 2004, her training techniques
incorporate all aspects of “conditioned response
training method”. She believes and has experienced
first hand the importance of building a solid, trusting,
mutually respectful relationship between horse and rider.
Creating this foundation is the key to training success
and her goal is to help individuals master the process
and have fun while doing so. No games or gimmicks, just
good training that will turn your frustrations into
confidence and control.
Whether you are working on
collection and lightness to the aids in dressage, slowing
the gaits of your western pleasure horse, building the
confidence of your trail horse or beginning foundation
training for you un-broke horse, all techniques learned
will be a perfect complement to your overall training
program. She believes in and is committed to ensuring
that all will benefit from riding lessons and training
sessions regardless of experience level or discipline.
The exercises and underlying
principles are simple yet highly effective and the results
are nothing short of amazing. Anyone who is a horse owner
knows of the huge time and financial commitments that are
required to maintain them. Horse ownership should be a fun,
exciting and enjoyable experience. Amber’s goal is to
empower students with the tools necessary to solve even the
most difficult ‘problems’ that they may be experiencing
with their horse. Learning the techniques to creating and
maintaining and fun, effective and harmonious working partnership
will ensure optimum performance and riding enjoyment for both
you and your horse.

From the words of Josh Lyons
-Bad relationships with horses
are similar to the bad relationships that people have with
each other and are based on such emotional malaises as lack
of communication, lack of trust, codependency and toxic
emotions. Often these problems are rooted in the rider's
attitude towards the horse. The horse, which is a simple
creature, is often just a mirror image of the rider's own
arrogance, frustration and exasperation. According to Josh
Lyon's theories, a quieted, gratified horse will not only
adjust its behavior, but also even exceed your expectations
when it comes to obedience, roping, reining, dressage and
performing in the arena.
