SCHEDULE

We're structuring this three-part series to build progressively:

May 30-31, 2026

Part 1: Focus on the biomechanics and nervous system of both horse and rider through the lens of BTMM (Balance Through Movement Method).

Aug. 8-9, 2026

Part 2: Explore the mind-body connection, getting more technical with riding and horsemanship in motion (potentially roping, obstacles, etc.)

Sept. 19-20, 2026

Part 3: 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.
