The aim of Mark's highly successful Hold Your Horses Clinics is to train the rider and horse in the complex skill of travelling cross country in harmony at an appropriate speed for their ability. Mark's methods are to show the rider how, by correct use of bodyweight and legs, it is possible to show a strong puller that this is not what the rider requires. It is not that the horse deliberately wants to ignore the rider - the rider is inadvertently sending the horse contradictory messages.

The clinic is designed to be appropriate, relevant and helpful to:

• Happy hackers

• Drag hunt riders and team chase riders

• Children wanting to compete, or already competing, at Pony Club eventing
