Mark Rashid

Mark Rashid is an American horse trainer, clinician, and author from Estes Park, Colorado. Practicing within the western riding tradition, Rashid's philosophy involves understanding the horse's point of view and solving difficult problems with communication rather than force. His methodology emphasizes the relationship between horse and rider as a partnership, in which the horse willingly takes direction from the rider, rather than a dominant rider directing a submissive horse. His training has been used with horses and riders in all disciplines, including dressage, eventing, jumpers, endurance riders, professional reiners, and cutting horses.
