Josh grew up on a cattle ranch in western Colorado. Training horses was not the family focus at the time; rather, it was earning a living from livestock. Soon his dad switched gears from working cattle to training horses. When John decided to share his training methods with others, Josh was there with him traveling the country and riding in the clinics. At age 16, Josh gave weekend clinics, trained horses and conducted private instruction at a facility in Minnesota. It was then he realized that he too had a passion for training horses and a gift for teaching people. After graduating high school, Josh worked full time with his dad. Some years more than 30 weeks were spent on the road conducting symposiums, clinics and expos. At home, Josh assisted with the John Lyons Certification Program, a program he now conducts, manages and owns. The Lyons’ Legacy had begun.

The programs offered have since expanded to include Colorado and Arizona campus locations, the Lyons Legacy Online Training Program, and even eligibility for Veterans Education Benefits for Colorado campus programs. As a result, Josh and his wife and partner, Jana, as well as their sons, have relocated to Scottsdale, AZ. Whether it be for clinics, the John and Josh Lyons Certification Program, the Josh Lyons Accreditation Program or performance training, Josh and Jana are in constant demand. Currently, the Lyons Legacy Equestrian Academy, one of the world’s most sought-after equine educational schools, has produced hundreds of certified trainers spread across 43 states and 6 countries.
