"Mark is a national treasure. His unique ability to accurately assess the needs of each horse and participant in his clinics is outstanding. He has a unique gift in understanding how horses think and really cares about helping people to achieve their goals through calmness and connection. His sense of humour, use of visualisation to help explain his training techniques and humility make every clinic a safe, supportive, and life changing experience.
Can't recommend highly enough." Ali
