Jodi is
proud to have completed Josh
Lyons’ Accreditation Program in August of 2005. This
program is open to a limited number of participants that are hand
selected by Josh and is an intense study of reining training. Jodi
continues to learn all she can about reining by riding
under other world renowned reining trainers.
Before
taking on this Josh's program,
Jodi studied the John Lyons methods for 13yrs. She
attended three of John’s clinics, riding in two and had a horse started
by John as well. Jodi has also
trained under John Lyons Certified Trainer, Ed Thornton, and completed
his certification program. She has
assisted Ed in clinics and certification classes.
During
those 13yrs, she worked with numerous horses solving problems from
spooking on trail to trailer loading as well as colt starting.
She was able to train and show clients horses
in western, english, and jumping classes as well as compete with her
own.
Jodi
has greatly enjoyed the time granted her to teach her daughters to ride
and compete in local horse shows as well as basic training and horse
husbandry. She found, “you learn a
lot teaching kids especially your own.”
While attending
William Woods College in Fulton, MO, Jodi double majored in Business
and Equine Science. She
also had great opportunities to work under several other trainers,
including an offer to join the team of trainers for the Lipizzaner
Stallions.
