The Leading John Lyons Certified Natural Horsemanship Trainer In North Carolina
| Sue Sue is a former rider returning to enjoy the sport later in life. Sue wanted to enjoy it so much, she purchased two horses! One Spotted Saddle Horse and one Tennessee Walker. Unfortunately, her dreams of leisurely trail rides soon faded as her horses slid down a slippery slope so far that one of her horses refused to even move while she was present. Sue tried various trainers including specialized gaited horse trainers to no avail. Desperate and frustrated, she called Beth Collins to try her hand at working with her impossible horses. Now five years later, view this film to see smooth gates, willing horses and an equestrian who has reached a level where she could call herself a trainer. The ultimate goal Beth always attempts to provide all of her clients. |   |
| Annalisa Annalisa purchased a 10 hand pony named Easy to pull a cart at their ranch in Vista. Unfortunately, his name did not match his demeanor. In fact, he quickly earned the nickname "Crazy Pony" from the neighborhood. Annalisa herself described him as aggressive and down right mean at times. After six months of training, Beth Collins was able to help Easy see things differently using her John Lyons natural horsemanship techniques. Now, Annalisa and her kids can all take a nice "Easy" ride in the cart whenever they want.

| Michelle Michelle had been without a horse for 20 years and instantly fell in love with a horse she felt would be a safe choice to re-enter the equestrian world with. Her Morgan looked pretty, not too tall and gentle. What she really purchased was a show horse that was more interested in endurance riding. Hot blooded and always ready to go, this mare wasn't about to slow down for our mother of two in San Marcos. Beth Collins helped both girls find the best in each other by showing them the John Lyons way. |  |
| Tim Tim began his equestrian enthusiasm late in life at age 40. New to the sport, he became attached to a 20 year old Mustang. What he didn't know was his Mustang had a mind of her own and wasn't about to let some novice change the way she had been living her life. Beth Collins was able to take our beginner rider from Escondido, and his veteran battle hardened mare, and help them both learn how to accept change and embrace new challenges by teaching both of them through John Lyons conditioned response training methods. |  |
