Always a horse lover!

Being born in the year of the Fire Horse predestined Marc to having a lifelong relationship with the equestrian world. Coming from a small town of Sudbury in Northern Ontario, Canada, highlights of his youth was spending time at his Uncle’s horse farm, getting thrown off the back of an ornery Shetland pony, doing chores in the barn and learning about country life. Like all other teenagers he took riding lessons and learned the basic of dressage, quickly realizing he liked jumping more than showmanship. When he started university he invested his student loan money into and American Saddle-bred show jumper, and spent much of his free time caring for Haygood, riding and jumping in the fields. But as with all things related to youth, he had to leave his horse upon graduation and set off for the big city to earn a living. For the next twenty years he worked and lived in Asia, Europe and Canada, rarely finding time to ride, but always getting nostalgic when horses were nearby.

His move to Mongolia in the spring of 2013 was a returning to the equestrian world. During the last 5 years he has not ridden as much as he would like, but travels around the country with his saddle in the back of the truck, just in case there is time for a ride. Upon learning of the Gobi Gallop 5 years ago, it has been one of his key ambitions for his time in Mongolia, to survive the gallop. Finally this year he has made the commitment and will spend the winter training for the challenge and fundraising for the Veloo Foundation, both in Mongolia and abroad.

Thanks for helping me make a difference, one child at a time!

My fundraising goal this year is $10,000.00 through donations and fundraising events.

NOTE - Qualified US and Canadian Donors will receive a tax receipt for their donation and 100% of all donations in support of the Gobi Gallop go directly to help the children!!
