This clinic, held at the extensive Hoplands Equestrian Centre near Winchester was formatted in the way Mark tends to work his US clinics with a morning and afternoon group of four riders each one working with Mark for a couple of sessions at one end of the arena and then with his wife and teaching assistant Chrissie in between times. It was a step up in terms of clinics I have attended – the venue was huge and there were a lot of people in the audience- probably between one and two hundred spectators. I've read Mark's books ( which I heartily recommend ) and I've attended clinics by Kathleen Lindley and Tom Widdicombe, both of whom are students of his, so I was really looking forward to seeing him in person.
( It was well worth it- behind a cut as once again I've topped 10000 words in a clinic report )
