Kelly Marks receives award from The Queen

16th July 2020

Lambourn horsewoman, Kelly Marks, of Intelligent Horsemanship, received the honour of being recognised by The Queen for her dedicated work with Monty Roberts to improve horsemanship worldwide.  Kelly founded Intelligent Horsemanship in 1997 and has helped thousands of students and horses to develop effective partnerships, based on Monty Roberts’ non-violent techniques.

The certificate was due to have been presented personally by The Queen at a private event in the autumn, but arrangements have had to be postponed due to the Covid-19 restrictions.  Therefore, the award was conveyed by post, however is hoped that Kelly and members of her team may yet enjoy that honour next year at a date to be arranged.

Kelly Marks said “It is a great honour and privilege to have received this special acknowledgement from Her Majesty.  I am immensely pleased the excellent work my colleagues have been quietly carrying out to improve the lives and well-being of both horses and people has been so graciously recognised.”
