    BROOKESMITH - NanC Mark is savvy when it comes to horses.
    But she also noticed while attending horse training clinics that most of the teachers are men, and most of the students are women.
    So Mark, who teaches a method developed by renowned horseman Pat Parelli that emphasizes gentle training techniques, launched her Cowgirl Savvy clinics.
    ''Because the two genders don't always speak the same language - something about Venus and Mars - the clinics can be intimidating and frustrating to the horsewomen in attendance,'' Mark said.
    That's where she comes in. While men are welcome, the horsewomen feel more at ease at her clinics.
    Several years ago, after working for 20 years in the corporate world, Mark decided to train horses and riders full-time at a cutting horse training facility in Kerrville owned by Leon Harrel, whom she called ''a world-class horseman.''
