Mark Langley

I’m really looking forward to presenting at the Western States Horse Expo! It’s such a fantastic opportunity to connect with other equestrians, share insights, and learn from some of the best in the industry. The energy and passion at this event is huge, and I’m excited to contribute to the experience. Whether you’re a seasoned rider or just starting your journey with horses, I can’t wait to show you how education can really help horses to carry less anxiety and be more open to learning. I’ll be available to chat to anyone throughout the 3 days in between my sessions – come and find me in my booth. See you there!

I’m super psyched to be in a collaborative environment with horsemen and horsewomen I deeply admire while we all elevate our knowledge about these animals we love so much! Giddyup!

Apart from being able to connect with all the people we have in the central part of the state, I really like the laid back, fun and easy atmosphere of the Western States Expo in Rancho Murieta. It’s always a lot of fun there.

Great show, well run, much better, and many levels for vendors, in my opinion. We were much busier than last year (+30%). Love our space and will book again.
