Friday Night Ranch Round Up & Josh Lyons

Howdy! So, how cool is having JOSH LYONS on http://www.ralphsbackporch.com/ last night, huh, huh?

Mighty doggone cool, I'd say!

Josh, as ya'll know, is a young, but already famous and nationally known horse trainer and equine specialist who stands within his own world as one of the best in the field today. However, Josh and a whole lot of other people would say that his daddy, John Lyons had something to do with Josh and his philosophy and techniques, after all John Lyons is a pioneer in the horse world and "the most trusted horseman in America"...not my words but words used to describe Mr. Lyons and I venture to guess one day will be sued to describe Josh.

How the heck could Josh NOT be a horseman living and growing up in that kind of environment, anyway?

And, Ralph's Backporch, our humble little old radio show was blessed to have Josh as our extra special guest last night and boy, was he good!

We spent our time with Josh talking about regular things to a regular guy who is caring about horses and the people he trains to work with horses. We talked about the business end of the deal and what it might take for someone like you or me to become certified in his certification program and what limitations there are (none) and what dedication on the person's part there has to be ( a lot) and how to get started in the program (email Josh and ask!).

Josh impressed me and Tamara on several levels not the least of which is his simple and effective way of communicating and the appreciation in his words and tone that let us know he enjoyed talking horses out there on our back porch.

We liked what we heard and we look forward to talking more with Josh and asking more specific questions about specific circumstances in the near future.

For now, it was a simple pleasure to talk with a world class horseman and get to know a man who truly IS growing into his own!

Thanks Josh!

Oh, and by the way, ya'll are always welcome to come and share the porch with us and our guests...you never know who's going to drop by and sit a spell with us!
