Until recently Mark Atwood went by the title First Sergeant (1SG)
as he was in charge of the Commanding General's Mounted Color Guard
at Ft. Riley, KS. He was also one of the original workshop clinicians
and is responsible for the US Army's adopting of BLM wild horses to use
as remounts for their ceremonial mounted units. These former wild
horses serve in battle reenactments, charging across parade grounds while
rifles blaze and cannons roar.
Mark likes to come off as the tough Army guy, but if you look closely
enough you'll find a superior horseman with a heart of gold.
Mark wanted to get this horse
for Ft. Riley. Instead he ended
up gentling the horse for a young man
who had his heart set on adopting him
