⭐2024 Featured Clinician⭐

Mark Bolender has become synonymous with the new and exciting equine discipline called Mountain Trail on an international level. This is a competitive sport in which Mark earned national titles in 2008, 2009, 2010, and which he has been championing for the past eleven years through clinics, teaching judging clinics, judging shows and building courses worldwide. He writes for a number of magazines, published books on Mountain Trail, and produced four DVD’s about training for mountain trail and one DVD entitled The Road to Bridle-less. He has been featured twice in the American Quarter Horse magazine “America’s Horse” for mastering the Trail Challenge and Mountain Trail made its debuted on RFDTV in November of 2016.

Mark and his wife Lee own and operate Bolender Horse Park in WA State, which houses the finest Mountain Trail course in the world. Using Bolender Horse Park as the model, Mark has designed and built Mountain Trail courses in the USA, Canada, Australia and Europe - with many more in development. Mark actively promotes his training philosophy centered on using the natural instincts of the horse during the training process. Mark says that activating key instincts in the horse combined with good horsemanship results in real equine magic.

-INDIE-
▪️4yr old mare
▪️14 HH
▪️Beginner/4-H friendly
▪️In-your-pocket
▪️UTD on vaccines and teeth (bit seat+wolf removal)
Started at Bolender Horse Park with Mark Bolender, Indie has finished her first 90 days under saddle and continues her training until sold. From the beginning of her training, this mare has been willing with a quiet disposition alone or in a group. Loves to have a job. Her first ride was easy and uncomplicated and since then she has progressed in her training to walk, trot, canter in the arena and out on the trail. She crosses any obstacle you point her at with ease including water boxes, balance beams, bridges and teeter totters. She is competing in IMTCA placing top 3 in all of her classes in hand and under saddle. Indie has recently started over cross rails and continues to tain over jumps. She’s a sweetheart, with an in-your-pocket personality and comes in from the field when you call her. She’s currently barefoot and is good for the farrier, loads/unloads, blankets, cross ties, fly sprays, bathes, and is generally easy to work with. She is a cute mover and ready to excel in any discipline.
Located in Silver Creek, WA

“We set out to create a better way to help horses become more engaged with us and to develop our Monty Roberts Mustang & Transition Horse Program for horses needing new homes through adoption. Mark Bolender’s methods and incredibly safe and beautiful obstacles stood out as the best option. Then when I learned he had won three world’s championships after age 40, I was inspired,” Loucks shared how she came to the decision.
