Great book.......2007-08-09
I find John Lyon's Bringing up Baby very informative! The pictures do a great job illustrating each lesson. I just purchased a filly, and I want to give her the best life possible. I think by following John's techinques you can't go wrong. His videos are great too!
Sometimes we forget to use common sense when working with horses, and if you pay attention to them and learn to properly communicate, you will find a great new enjoyment with your horses!
baby steps.......2007-06-27
this book is great for illustrating kind, consistent lessons to educate yourself and you young weanling. if you want to establish a good relationship, and have your youngster become willing, accepting and to like you, then buy this book.
Concise, easy to follow, great book!.......2007-06-17
This is a great book for those who need to teach a baby, an ex-racer, or any horse the essential basics. Each lesson begins with a description of that you're going to do and why. There's also a list of needed equipment (all of these lessons are to take place in a round pen or arena with the corners "rounded" off). Step-by-step, Lyons takes you through the lesson, providing a picture with each step and a description of what you are doing. I recommend this book to anyone who needs to teach any horse basic ground manners.
John Lyon's Bringing Up Baby.......2007-05-13
Although the methods do not work 100% on all youngsters, it gives the trainer a base to work fro. From there, common sense and knowing the horse you are working with comes into play
Bringing Up Baby.......2007-02-23
John Lyon's Bringing Up Baby is one of the best manuals for early training. The book is well written and organized. It is easy to use when looking for solutions to training problems and the steps to good solid training for your young horse! Superior book!

best book I have used.......2007-10-07
I breed, train, raise and sell TWH. I also am a practioner of Equine Massage. This book has given me wonderful results in my communication and training of my horses. It is now my #1 gift-giving book for friends who are committed to working seriously with their horses. It is easy to understand, concise, values my limited time. M
Very good book.......2007-07-13
I really like this book. It gave me some good tools for working with my young horse.
if you love your horse(s) as much as we do, get this book!!!.......2007-05-13
Even if you have a whole shelf filled with books on horses,and you're lucky enough to have at least one of these magnificent creatures to care for, this book is a must have. we are still practicing a few of the technics currently on our mare.She loves the contact(and touching).
and the author also covers the issues of horses who do not like to be handled or touched due to accidents, abuse,etc. and how to gain their trust.And most importantly,it makes you more attuned to their needs in general.
Not Quite the "Ultimate".......2007-05-07
I would say the book is half training and half sensory / massage techniques. Granted the techniques are incorporated into her training methodology, but it's a dual education. Learning the massage techniques, their purpose and results, then learn how to incorporate them into the appropriate training methodology.
I believe the methods are worthwhile, but there's a large human learning curve. To me it's a book that must be read at least twice, and then referred to constantly per training result needed.
With that said, independent of training, I have used a few of the massage techniques on my horses with great results. But with general life, (work, children, husband, etc....) in the several months I've had the book I've only progressed to using several of the massage techniques. I've referred to other books for training help.
I like the book, it's written well (provided I read it twice, the progression makes sense to me). I do not see it as a straight forward guide to training. More so a guide that is great when I have time to devote to it's philosophies and learn the massage base techniques first that accompany the training.
For straight forward training assistance I prefer Clint Anderson, Lynn Palm, Parelli and John Lyons (to name a few).

Lyons on Horses.......2006-02-21
This book is very informative. Easy to read and very easy to understand. The author does a good job of explaining training techniques.
Lyons on Horses.......2005-09-29
Everything happened as promised: A very nice (appearing unused) book arrived within a few days of ordering. Perfect!
don't waste your $ unless you can visualize.......2004-08-04
You wouldn't want this book if you need visuals. There are very few pictures to help in understanding how to go about a lesson. I think John Lyons would rather you buy his videos. This book doesn't help unless you have the videos. Only buy this book if you have a round pen and you don't need visual help in getting the idea. I felt it was a waste of money.
A generic training aid.......2003-06-18
I felt like this book had a very generic outlook on things. It just didn't go in depth enough to satisfy what I wanted to learn. If you are truly looking to get a better partnership with you and your horse, I recommend Pat Parelli's book: Natural Horsemanship. It just has a more easy to read and more horse savvy format than this book seemed to.

Working with horses.......2007-07-22
This book is very helpful to me in traing myself and my horses. The method presented in this book is very easy to follow. I recomend it to thos looking for help or a method of training.
I HAVE A BUCKING PROBLEM!.......2007-06-10
I recently purchased a new mare. We had 2 really good rides and the 3rd was a disaster! The mare began bucking violently, without warning, and I was thrown to the ground. I purchased this book because the cover listed "bucking" as a problem area addressed in the book. I receieved the book and cannot find one thing about bucking. To say the least, I was very disappointed!!!
Very Good but no bucking info.......2007-01-21
A very good book and helpful, but the front is misleading, there is only one tiny mention of bucking help, which is not enough.
Product Description
Few things are as important to the health and welfare of our horses than proper feed and care. Horsemen have known for years that good hay and oats are the foundation for a good horse diet, but we'll take that one step further to tell you how some age-old misconceptions may actually work against your horse's health.
Product Description
Training horses is easier than most people think. Because horses are so forgiving and adaptable, they adjust their behaviour when the training becomes consistent. But for the requests and rewards to make sense to the equine student, his teacher needs a lesson plan. In this book, we'll give you those lesson plans...
Customer Reviews:
If you need to understand your horse this is the book!.......2007-06-23
John Lyons takes you step by step and this training method really works! We have a green broke horse and she has responded wonderfully! My husband works with her everyday for short periods and she is learning! He really helps you to understand just how different humans think than horses.
Book Description
This is the only book to describe the real person behind the natural horseman. Many people might only know the persona in front of the audience, but behind it all is a real man with a history that has never been told before. This book is the story of John Lyons.
Customer Reviews:
Very Interesting.......2004-01-29
I thought this book was interesting, just because it is the only book that is written about the man and not the horse training principles he usually writes about. Also, if you pay close attention to the last chapter you can find plenty of "behind the scenes" information if you read between the lines. He certainly has had a rough life and been through a lot more than I thought. And although I thought he had trained horses all his life, that wasn't the case. Definately worth reading and the pictures are gorgeous.
Master.......2003-12-24
I think this book was very insightful regarding a man famous for his work with horses. I sometimes got the feeling that the 'dirt' was being left out, but the book was entertaining and insightful nonetheless.
Spiritual journey?.......2003-12-01
Not a particularly skillful accounting of John's journey. Not particularly insightful, either. I found myself wondering about what was left out of the book. More behind the scenes information would have given us more with which to connect to John.
John Lyons is the Most Amazing Horseman in America.......2003-11-20
John Lyons is an incredible horseman. If you've been to his symposium or watched his tapes, you will buy this book to learn more about him. If you don't know him, don't start with this book, because you need to see the man himself in action, see how gently and respectfully he treats horses, how quickly and calmly they learn from him, to know why this book would be interesting. His voice and manner are so reassuring that when I go out, I leave his symposium tapes that I bought on his website on for my dog. I wish his story could have been written by a truly masterful writer and become a best-seller. This book gets the facts across but could have been deeper and more complex, like the man.
Product Description
This book is packed with practical information and advice about matters concerning your facility. It takes you from making the decision to keep horses at home, through buying property and installing a covered arena, even to deciding whether you want to build a house-barn combination and move into the barn yourself.
Product Description
In this book, we have brought together the best of Dear John, as it were, incorporating reader letters about training and care. We have packed this book with all the editorials we could fit in. John tells us his view of many topics, which helps us understand how we can develop a good relationship with our horse.
Book Description

The second aspect of equine health care concerns circumstances when your horse is sick, lame, or just not quite right. For those times, the book offers practical insight into what we can reasonably expect from a veterinary exam.
Topics include: Diagnostics A to Z , Why a Coggins Test, Vaccines, Deworming, Coping with Arthritis, Understanding Colic, Eye Problems, Diarrhea Dangers, Founder: Causes & Care, The Rabies Threat, Strangling Strangles, Tying up, Respiratory Problems.
