GAIN A DEEP UNDERSTANDING of how to help your horse

Since coming to the clinic, for the first time in 5 years of having Blue, I feel like we have a connection rather than that he is just tolerating me – he even nickers sometimes when he sees me.  Even my non-horsy husband has noticed it!

Murphy and myself were at your resent clinic held ...and I wanted to thank you for getting us back on track. It has only been 5 days since we returned home but there has been at huge change in Murphy, mostly due to my new approach, “it’s not personal”...He is already less confused by my behaviour/body language and happier and more relaxed around me with a lot fewer cranky faces. I was not enjoying my time with him at all to the point I was thinking of finding him a new home but now I am looking forward to bringing him back into ridden work and achieving some goals.

I've taken many clinics and your style, information, philosophy, clinic set up were all far beyond my expectations and way surpass any other clinic I've been to.  I finally felt I'd met a horse trainer that I resonated with.

Grace

I stepped right outside my usual riding to try and find some new tools for my issues, and Mark had my boy sussed in 5 seconds flat!

Cate

After over sixty years of playing with horses it's delightful to watch Mark's innovative and refreshing approach

Judy

I was so impressed with Mark and his style of teaching. I saw a big shift in my horse between day 1 and day 2

Natasha

Mark is like no other clinician I have seen. His empathy, sincerity and willingness to help each and every horse and person reach a better place is incredible!

Bernadette

It was an honor to watch your recent clinic. Love how you worked with the horses and their humans. So much respect from me.

Debbie

At the clinic I attended I saw the most beautiful connection between a lady and her horse. The closeness between them was amazing. I think Mark's ability to gauge the person and where the horse is at is a gift. I'm looking forward to my next clinic.

Karen

It will radically challenge everything you ever thought you knew about horses, encourage you to experiment and inspire you to better connect with your horse in every way. A great big thank you to Mark for giving us many simple and clear tools to be better.

Ken

Marks way of teaching was amazing..he really understood and could read what was going on and showed me ways to connect I thought I'd never be able to do. Best weekend EVER!

Millie

All I can say is wow! We host a lot of clinics, but I have never before seen participants and fence sitters glued to the arena fence, not daring to wander off in case they missed something. Already we have filled the next clinic. Do yourself a favour and get to one of his clinics. Beg, borrow or steal a horse to take. It will change you.

Karen

Just home from a clinic at Marks place and I left wishing it was not over. Feeling the happiness of your own progress and watching others have there’s was fantastic The clinic was so individually focused on you and your horses needs. I will definitely be booking again.

Kerrie

With full explanations of why to do what and when Mark addressed individual needs while guiding everyone with patience and clear instructions. The results for both horses and handlers in two days was nothing short of amazing.

Pauline

Mark has a unique understanding of how to train horses and their humans to not only connect but to achieve great things. He is a truly gifted teacher with a tremendous insight into the horses mind. Once you have had a glimpse of the horses world through his eyes the way you see them will be forever changed. Highly recommend.

Peter

His unique ability to accurately assess the needs of each horse and participant in his clinics is outstanding. 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

I have improved myself so much that I feel that I can offer my horses a place to centre with me in most situations. I have gained so much confidence in my self which in turn has given my horses confidence. My understanding of having a horses thoughts, rein aids and the accelerator is now at the next level.

Carrie

Mark’s gentleness and compassion for horses and their people shines through. Mark gets me thinking every single time and my beloved mare and I thank him for it.

Kylie

The clinic with Mark was absolutely mind expanding, and experiencing and understanding the shifts with my horse was so valuable!!

Kylie D

Mark is a practical and deep thinker. Where other training approaches sounded great but didn't work in reality back at home, Mark's has.

Carol

I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to attend this 6 day clinic with Mark. His integrity and wisdom shone through as he patiently helped both horses and owners to a better place and ensured the owners had a strong understanding of his underlying principles. Mark also maintained his equilibrium when faced with some pretty challenging behaviour from my horse. Amazing clinic. I can't wait for the next one.

Helen

My aha moment was you explaining that she didn't need to be focusing on me (my thought) but learning to control her own emotions. A gamechanger!

Ady

Can I just say, I've just got home from day 1 of Mark's clinic and wow just wow! Never before in the many clinics I've been to does someone make so much sense in the description of riding from the ground with a leadrope and how this will translate in the saddle. I can't wait for tomorrow. My horse had massive positive changes from his training and I had those light bulb moments.

Chelisa

The best horseman in Australia by far ! Even though Mark had never worked with a mule previously, he was the only trainer that identified his complex thought process, and how best to relate to and work with him effectively. Mark is a true Horseman, with a unique gift of insight into the equines mind, and a passion to share his experience and knowledge with all that wish to learn.

Anita

This clinic was so very helpful to me. Mark gave excellent advice and my horse left the clinic so much more relaxed, softer and better understood. I now know what to look for, how to ask questions and most importantly, to me, not to tell my horse what to do but to give him the opportunity to work out things for himself. That might seem strange to say but once you get Mark to show you, it all makes so much sense. Actually, it makes me a better person too. Thanks Mark.

Karen

Thank you Mark. So impressed with my horse since doing your clinic huge improvement

Jacqueline

I have learned so much from you. Making great progress. Your way resonates with us. Thank you!

Ivan

wow I didn't even have to say anything to Mark and he went straight to the cause of my mare's anxiety and how to work through it
