Horsemanship Essentials with Kelly Marks – ‘The Delia Smith of Horsemanship’!
Many of you have seen Kelly Marks in the popular ‘Horsemanship Essentials’ TV series on Horse and Country TV. Others may have caught sight of Kelly featuring on ‘Countryfile’ gaining the trust of a nervous Exmoor filly foal causing her to accept her first halter. A horsewoman all her life winning championships in showjumping, racing and last year winner of the Pro-Am TREC championship at Royal Windsor Kelly’s finding the greatest pleasure now in helping students understand the principles that have made her so successful with horses.
Kelly is always at hand to help her mentor Monty Roberts on his nationwide tours but this time she’ll take the main teaching role into places where ‘Intelligent Horsemanship’, her organisation, hasn’t reached before. “The trouble with Monty” laughs Kelly “is he’s so popular that we always have to go for enormous buildings with built in seating.” “My demonstrations are far more ‘intimate’ and it will be fun to visit these new places.
“ “At every venue I’ll be joined by IH Recommended Associates who are former students, now qualified to help horses. This means that when I leave the venue there is a reliable person to carry on to help the owner. As well as helping local owners I’ll bring a couple of my own horses to show the ‘this is one I did earlier’ as the cooks say. It’s very apt to use a cooking analogy – someone said to me once “You’re like the Delia Smith of horsemanship”. When I asked why they said ‘Well you’re not sexy or exciting but it’s very easy to follow what you do!’”
