My Granddad always told me "You can be around horses all your life but to be a good horseman you need to get around good horseman". With the generosity of Ray and Carolyn Hunt, they made it possible for all of us to be around one of the greatest horseman.

Mark has been around horses all his life. He was raised on a horse farm, raising and training thoroughbred race horses. He has enjoyed many different aspects of the horse industry as well as ranching. Anything, just as long as it was horseback! Mark is currently working on his Masters Degree in Equine Science and conducting horsemanship classes at Southern Illinois University.

Mark and his wife Carole, sons, Jacob and Jeremiah reside in Illinois.
