Training from ground to saddle, In the Arena or on the trail, Western/English & Dressage basics, Colt Starting, Re schooling, conditioning, ground work, sacking out & desensitizing, trailer loading, private or group lessons on your horse, Pre purchase evaluations, Clinics and Sales.
I've discovered the huge demand for owners who don't want to send there horse away for training, and would rather keep them right where they are, at there private home, ranch or boarding facility. Where they can visit them when ever they want!
When I was a little girl I had the hopes and dreams of becoming a horse trainer someday. I got the opportunity to achieve my dream when I graduated the John and Josh Lyons Certification Program in October of 2001, at the age of 20. It was the best experience of my life behind having my beautiful baby girl Sabella in September of 2005.
I am inspired to change the lives of both horse and rider by teaching the training methods I've learned over the years. I truly value the importance of patience, consistency, repetition and most of all, building a soft, supple horse from nose to tail. These techniques will make your horse a much happier and willing partner!
In addition to being a certified trainer, I'm a big believer in being very diverse when it comes to other training methods. I don't limit myself to one method of training, I take a little from many different trainers and incorporate it in to my daily routine. This is very important, because not every horse learns and responds the same way to one specific method. And may need a little extra TLC when it comes to understanding what's being asked of them.
So if your looking for a diverse trainer with an open mind and a passion for making sure your horse gets the attention and training necessary for each of there individual personalities and abilities. Im the trainer for you!
I'm located in Antioch California and am serving the fallowing towns:
Brentwood, Oakley, Byron, Discovery Bay, Bethel Island, Clayton, and other close by surrounding towns. |

Kristin began riding at the age of 3. She was fortunate enough to grow up in a family with a background in the horse business, and riding quickly became a natural passion for her.
When Kristin was 12, she successfully started her first horse under saddle; a 3yr. old Purebred Arabian filly by the name of KhyndaSpecial KpM. After a few months, she and her horse moved to a local Arabian show barn in Temecula, Ca. Under the instruction of the trainers at this facility, Kristin continued to develop her riding skills and was further introduced into the Arabian competition circuit.
Since then, Kristin has worked under a handful of other credible trainers to help expand her knowledge of the horse industry and to strengthen her training skills. She continues to ctively ride and compete successfully with multiple wins in both english and western disciplines, including hunter pleasure, country and english pleasure, show hack, sport horse, western pleasure, and reining, and has also competed in all of the equitation divisions in between.
Although she specializes in Arabian and Half Arabian show horses, she has plenty of experience with a variety of other breeds as well. Kristin's training program emphasizes effective and rewarding teaching to both horse and rider, and focuses on building from the ground up; whether you have a young horse that needs to be tarted, a horse that you wish to show or to sell, or even a horse that just needs a tune-up.
The training center is currently located in Lakeside, Ca. Kristin encourages you to make an appointment to stop by and visit! |

How To Help Horses That Bite
Do you have a horse that you absolutely love, and seem to be fantastic in every area except? HE BITES!
The first thing everyone must understand is that horses are naturally a herd animal and they need and enjoy the outdoors and interacting with other horses. When a horse is raised in a stall or paddock without having a relationship with other horses, or is not provided with activity for them to keep occupied, this is when they tend to resort to the only thing they know, in order to get attention or stay occupied? Biting or Nibbling. This is a habit that's created over time when, the issue hasn't been addressed by the owners, or the horse hasn't been exposed to a domestic life style. They've been living in a herd environment, where this behavior is normal in order to form a pecking order amongst the herd.
Now this sinario doesn't apply to every horse's life style, and how they were raised. But in the majority of these cases I've seen this is the story or sinairio that the owners have shared with me. When they get finished telling me about the horse's life and what it has been through, a sort of light bulb moment arises with the owners. And they realize that the horse hasn't been provided with the environment needed to feel happy and content, much like a young child, with out toys or games to keep them occupied and out of trouble.
Now having shared that with you, the next question that probably arises is? OK, now what can I do to help my horse overcome this addiction or bad behavior?
First, you need to address your horse's current life style. Where he lives and spends most of his time, how much exercise are they receiving, what does there diet consist of, are they in good health, are there any sensitive areas on there body that seem to irritate them, does there saddle fit properly, check there cinch, the fit of your bridle and bit. And make sure when you're riding that there isn't any thing you are doing unknowingly that may be causing them discomfort.
These are all things to be aware of and write down, so you have it in front of you, and you can see it all clearly, and in its entirety. Its easy to over look a lot of these issues, when you try to think of all the questions in your head at one time, with out laying it all out in front of you.
Second, after you've ruled out any physical problems. Now its time to put together a consistent exercise program that will keep them stimulated, interested and busy, For Example: setting up a trail course, going on trail rides, longing over cavaleties or small jumps. Work on some despooking exercises with Tarps, plastic, balloons, umbrellas etc. Remember you don't want to do any one exercise for so long they get board and start looking for trouble.
When you have finished applying your new routine with your horse for the day, your horse should be calmer than when you started. Some signs are standing quietly, there head is lowered to a comfortable position, there licking there lips or cocking a hind leg. These are all signs that your horse is calmer and more content!
If your horse is already involved in a routine like the above, and there still having problems keeping there mouths to them selves. Then its time to apply what I'll call the B-G, the bump and go, This is when you use your body parts like your arms, elbows, knees, feet, and head as your personal defense mechanisms. Which ever body part is closest to your horse's mouth when he goes to bite you becomes your current defense. You bump the horses mouth with any of the parts above, hard enough to redirect there attention to the task at hand, (saddling, grooming, leading or even when riding). It's important that you immediately return to the task at hand right away, as if it never happened, apply more pressure each time. This may take a few times, or he may get it immediately. Give this a good length of trial, so he will have a chance to realize that it's when he bites that it becomes uncomfortable for him.
Or if you prefer a more direct, extreme approach, let's apply what is called the 3 second kill method. This is when your horse goes to bite you and you instantly, with out hesitation take action for 3 Seconds, using or applying any means necessary to instill enough discomfort or fear in your horse, that when the 3 seconds is up, and you return to your task at hand, your horse is thinking O'my god, that was so scary and uncomfortable I thought they were going to kill me.(I'll never do that again.) But don't be so extreme you cause a physical injury to your horse. You must continue as nothing had happened. And you may want to carry a dressage whip with you for a while till you feel comfortable with your horse?s progress. This is because you can?t waist any time trying to find some thing to discipline your horse when he bites you, because after 3 seconds he won?t be able to associate the discipline with the bite. And he won?t understand why he?s being disciplined. So if you miss your chance, just continue till the next attempt.
Now both of these methods will be effective when used correctly, but it also depends on how extensive your horse?s problem is and why there doing it. Just remember this could take Time, Consistency, and Patience, which applies to any exercise you do with your horses.

The greatest techniques I've acquired are the amazing gifts of patience, repetition, and consistency, which is crucial to this business.
Do to this amazing gift the lord has blessed me with, I've had the opportunity to see first hand the incredible results and changes between owners and there horses. I truly believe that the Lyons training methods can change and revolutionize the world of training, one horse and one rider at a time!
This vision is why I've made it my mission in life to educate both horse and rider of these amazing methods!"
