Mark is the owner and trainer of Mark Noel Horsemanship, located in Rural Retreat, VA. Mark specializes in colt starting, working with problem horses, and tuning up broke horses as well as providing public demonstrations and clinics. He has over 20 years of experience of working with horses for the public, but was raised around and rode horses most of his life. He was born in the small coal mining town of Pocahontas, VA where horses and horsemen were scarce. After realizing he had a passion for horses, and wasn't bad at working with them, he decided to pursue his dream.
It has taken him years to start this business of his own and build it to where he can support a wife and 2 children off of it. It has taken years of working on horse farms, learning behavior and "ways" of a horse, and years of trial and error. Practicing natural horsemanship has always came easy to him because it seems God gave him the proper understanding of these creatures and how to work with them in a natural way. 
After giving his heart to the Lord in July of 2014, Mark has realized that God works with us the same way Mark works with the horses which has greatly blessed his walk with the Lord and blessed his skills with a horse. Just when it feels like God is putting too much pressure on us, and we don't understand why or how to get out of the situation, God releases all pressure, and provides rest for us; in which is when we usually start understanding and learning from the trial. Does this technique sound familiar to fellow horsemen?
