Mark Mcvicar

Instructor, rider, Yard Manager

I have worked with horses all my life and have spent the last six years in the household cavalry mounted regiment! During this time I have achieved my BHSAI! I have worked with all manner of horses from dressage to eventing! Have groomed and rode on major parades such as the queens birthday parade and the diamond jubilee! During my time I have competed in show jumping and eventing in the Army team going all over the country!

Currently I am still serving in the army and will be out in October! My day to day duties at the moment include being in charge of he welfare of up to 36 horses, organising the work of all of these horses and teaching the guys and riding 4 or 5 times myself daily! It is also my job to back and break the youngsters that we have coming through! Very rarely have our horses been touched before they come to us so we have to start them from the very start too become good enough to go on parade carrying a lot of kit through central London with lots of noise!
