About this episode

In this episode, Master Trainer Mark Rashid shares insights on horse training and communication.

In today's episode, you'll meet Master Trainer Mark Rashid. He is a soft-spoken horseman, skilled in martial arts (Aikido) and one of my favourite quotes from the episode is: Going slower is always a good way to start. Mark is an acclaimed author and horseman known for his ability to understand the horse’s point of view and using communication rather than force. He has just co-written the book A Horse’s life - The Neuroscience of Equine Welfare with Dr. Steve Peters and Crissi McDonald and the insights shared by this extraordinary horseman will surely benefit both you and the horses in your life - enjoy! ❤️ Episode photo: Crissi McDonald.
