Clinic format
Riding places are for 4 days riding
Mark will work with each horse and rider for approximately an hour each day. All riders will also have the opportunity to solidify their session with Mark by having a further session with Mark's assistant, Kathleen Lindley. Kathleen has been working with Mark for nine years and is an exceptional teacher in her own right.
Spectators will not be left out at all during any of these sessions. Mark encourages everyone to participate and there is always a very relaxed and open atmosphere where all are welcome to ask questions. There will also be a session where all spectators and riders alike will be working together in the arena to experiment with exercises in energy flow and mental intention.
Evening anatomy lecture
Dr Dave Siemens gives a fantastic anatomy lecture which is very enjoyable and a real must for all horse owners, riders, instructurs and anyone else working with horses! He will review equine anatomy and physiology with the assistance of a real live horse as well as a skeleton to help you see how the structre works and how it fits together. He will also compare the equine and human skeletons. We will also consider some gait analysis and saddle fit issues. The lecture runs from 7pm - 10pm and costs £7.50. You can find more about the content of the lecture on Dave web site
