The Warhorse Journal

of Faith & Horses- with John Lyons

 
 Today on The Warhorse Journal I have the pleasure to talk with the author of over 20 books, and my all time favorite authentic equestrian,  America’s most trusted horseman, Mr. John Lyons. I first saw John teach and train at the Midwest Horse Fair I Madison, WI. 
If you would like to read along with the current John Lyons book that I am reading, "Lyons on Horses" - here is a link to purchase it on Amazon  https://amzn.to/3ZsNpbQ
My admiration for John extends beyond the remarkable relationship that John had built with his appaloosa stallion, Bright Zip, it extend above and beyond that to seeing another relationship that John carries in his heart as  part of him, and that is his relationship with God and how faith is woven into everything that John does.   
 
I invite you to listen in today as John shares the ways that we see God reflected back to us through the eyes of our horses.  I hope you enjoy today’s episode, I know I did!  Welcome to the podcast, Mr. John Lyons.
