CLINIC SERIES SCHEDULE

We're structuring this three-part series to build progressively to enhance the relationship & confidence between horse and rider.

Part 1 of 3: Equine Biomechanics

May 30-31, 2026 (Saturday & Sunday, 8:00am-5:00pm each day)

Focus on the biomechanics and nervous system of both horse and rider through the lens of the Balance Through Movement Method (BTMM).

Part 2 of 3: Horse/Rider Connection

Aug. 8-9, 2026 (Saturday & Sunday, 8:00am-5:00pm each day)

Explore the mind-body connection, getting more technical with riding and horsemanship in motion (potentially roping, obstacles, etc.)

Part 3 of 3: Whole-Horse Development Through Cattle Work

Sept. 19-20, 2026 (Saturday & Sunday, 8:00am-5:00pm each day)

Bring it all together—mind, body, and soul—by bringing in cattle and activating the horse's play drive,  helping the horse move beyond the confines of a frame into true freedom of movement.
