"I learned how to have better communication, more control on trail and create a partnership. I've learned how to have a softer, lighter horse and how to correctly ask for the response I want."
-Kerry Barhan
"I learned to be more receptive as a rider not to mention how to connect with my horse to better teach her. Most times people have a hard time learning because the instructions are too hard to understand. Sheryl is an awesome instructor."

Savannah is a 4-½ year old Appaloosa filly that came to me for training. After checking on her one stormy evening it seemed to me that her sight was impaired. It was raining pretty hard and she was standing out in the rain in her run – not taking advantage of her box stall. This is common to horses that are new to box stalls, particularly in the rain, it makes quite the noise hitting the metal roof and it takes some getting used to – so I attributed her behavior to this, grabbed a halter and led her into the box stall and she was fine.

I brought a horse to Sheryl that had developed some bad habits such as disrespecting my space, walking all over me, bucking, and running from me when I went to catch her. And Within 2 weeks Sheryl had corrected all of those habits. I am very happy with the results and the responsiveness of my horse, Zoey. Read more about Zoey's story

Paloma is a great horse and my daughter and I are enjoying riding her and are amazed at the great hurdles she had gone over on this short amount of time. In other words, I believe Sheryl Lynde to be the best in her field and would use her time and time again. We are forever grateful to her for the lessons we learned about horse training. I would suggest to anyone who has a horse with a problem that needs repair or just a horse that need starting, she is the best.
Thank you Sheryl!!! Read more about Paloma's story

Hi Sheryl..
Thanks so much for a great clinic over the weekend. You were phenomenal! I am just amazed at what is possible with a horse. I had no idea. When I spoke to you at the Equine Affair this year I mentioned I had considered doing your Ultimate 5 day clinic right after I got my horse over a year ago. But I decided to wait until I got to know my horse thinking I would have gotten more out of the training. Boy was I wrong! Now I wish I had done it then before I learned all my bad habits. It was meant to be that I found you, as you are the only trainer I have seen in my short experience with horses that teaches what I believe. That you can have a partnership with your horse without “crankin, yankin, pushin and pullin” As you said, only makes a bracy, desensitized horse.
When I got home yesterday, I made 5 pages of notes from the clinic and I have a lot to practice before I come with my horse to see you in June.
Thanks again Sheryl… I learned so much from you. You are amazing to watch!! Can’t wait to do more!
Best Regards,
Chris Richardson
Sheryl:
I just wanted to thank you again for all your efforts with Playboy. He's truly a different horse: he's much more respectful, doesn't step all over the human handler, stands still for a mount and is so much more relaxed in his demeanor.
I round-penned him yesterday and, after an initial period of his gawking over the fence, had him doing both inside and outside turns, finishing with him disengaging his hip in both directions and him following me around the bullpen. Everyone who knew him before your training was SO impressed! I hand-walked him around a portion of the ranch and every time his head shot up I worked with him, disengaging his hips, forcing him to keep his feet moving and pay attention to me. It worked perfectly. I'll keep this up and start working on the 3 "whoas" until he's moved to the foxtrotter farm in Morongo Valley.
Angie and I both enjoyed the clinic and learned a lot, Thanks again,

Hey! Girlfriend!
Sassy cannot quit talking about how much she learned, and about how much she needs to learn. She came by to see me today and I told her once I was better, I would help her work him in the round pen, walking him on a lead, making him get out of her space, etc. (STAYING OUT OF HIS MOUTH) She is very excited and says once she has the $$$, she will be calling you for him to come see you for a little while. She was very impressed with the clinic and she will be anther trooper like me. Thanks again Sheryl for offering her my space, it made a world of difference in how she sees training now.
Take care,
