Mark Rashid

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mark Rashid is a horse trainer and clinician from Colorado. A practitioner within the field of natural horsemanship, Rashid's philosophy involves understanding the horse’s point of view and solving difficult problems with communication rather than force.

He has written a number of books on his philosophy, including Big Horses, Good Dogs, & Straight Fences, Horsemanship Through Life, Life Lessons from a Ranch Horse, Horses Never Lie, A Good Horse is Never a Bad Color, and Considering the Horse.

A unique aspect of Rashid's work is that he is also a practitioner of Yoshinkan aikido and applies its principles to the art of riding.
