THE PERSON BEHIND THE REINS

A life shaped
by horses.

Meet Mark Truter — retired professional jockey, Master Farrier and lifelong horseman.

Mark's journey with horses began in his teens at the South African Jockey Academy. His career later led him into farriery and the training and schooling of horses, giving him decades of hands-on experience.

Today, West Coast Beach Rides brings that experience together with the wild beauty of the Cape coastline. The aim is simple: to share the pleasure of horses and create a memorable experience for every guest.
