# Event Details - **Event Name**: 2-Day Horse Neuroscience and Biomechanics Workshops (May 2 + 3, 2026) - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 02 May, 2026 at 09:00 am – Sat, 02 May, 2026 at 04:00 pm (-07:00) - **Event Description**: Understand the horse nervous system:2 days of interactive horse brain painting, horse regulation, biomechanics, body awareness, and riding.About this EventJoin experienced equestrian coach Agi Yother (“Ride With Your Mind”) and neuroscientist Dr. Beatrix Krause-Sorio (Stanford School of Medicine) for a two-day, hands-on workshop exploring how neuroscience, biomechanics, and emotional regulation shape equine behavior and performance.This immersive experience blends science-based education, creative learning, and practical riding tools to help riders better understand how horses perceive stress, process information, and respond to their environment. Day 1 focuses on equine brain science and painting your own horse brain to take home and learning nervous system regulation techniques to use on your horse. Day 2 involves an interactive biomechanics and body awareness workshop in a stationary saddle and applying the learned skills under saddle.Designed for kids, parents, owners, instructors, and grooms, this workshop offers simple, effective methods to improve safety, communication, and harmony—on and off the horse.Pricing:Workshop base price $200 or $50 per workshop.If you bring your own horse, the stall boarding fee for each night is $50.If you would like to use one of our horses, the fee is $60 (we need horses for Day 1 Workshop 2 and Day 2 Workshop 2).Auditing is $35 per day.Agenda🕑: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PMDay 1: Experience the horse brain in colorHost: Dr Beatrix Krause-SorioInfo: Experience the Horse Brain in Color This creative, science-based workshop uses guided painting to explore how a horse’s brain processes stress, emotion, and learning. Participants will visually map key brain regions while learning how these systems influence behavior, relaxation, and responsiveness. No art experience is required—this hands-on activity is designed to make neuroscience accessible, memorable, and directly applicable to everyday horsemanship. The result is a deeper understanding of your horse’s inner world and practical insights you can carry into training, handling, and riding.🕑: 01:00 PM - 03:00 PMDay 1: Relaxation, regulation & safetyHost: Agi YotherInfo: This session focuses on practical techniques to help horses move out of stress and into a calm, receptive state. Participants will learn how relaxation influences behavior, learning, and safety, and how small, intentional changes in handling can support healthier emotional regulation. This is a groundwork session.🕑: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PMDay 2: Rider Biomechanics & Body Awareness (Off-Horse)Host: Agi YotherInfo: This workshop explores how rider posture, balance, and movement directly influence a horse’s comfort and responses. Through guided body awareness exercises, participants learn how tension, asymmetry, and intention affect communication. Become your own coach in this interactive workshop. The focus is on developing skills that transfer to riding.🕑: 01:00 PM - 03:00 PMDay 2: Under-Saddle Biomechanics & IntegrationHost: Agi YotherInfo: Building on the previous sessions, this workshop applies body awareness and biomechanics concepts in real time under saddle. Participants will explore how relaxation techniques and rider biomechanics shape movement, connection, and emotional state. The emphasis is on thoughtful, horse-centered riding that supports both performance and wellbeing. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/portola-valley/2-day-horse-neuroscience-and-biomechanics-workshops-may-2-3-2026/100001984593949928 - **Event Categories**: workshops, art, trips-adventures, kids, fine-arts, sports - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 55.2, max: 215.26, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Portola Valley - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Riding at Webb Ranch - **lat**: 37.4061743 - **long**: -122.1947498 - **full address**: Riding at Webb Ranch, 2720 Alpine Road, Portola Valley, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: 2-Day Horse Neuroscience and Biomechanics Workshops (May 2 + 3, 2026) - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/406631bc1fb59414bf10423e86d767a4c6cdabf0c70e7110bc8a77884bfabf00-rimg-w1200-h600-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1772818683 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is 2-Day Horse Neuroscience and Biomechanics Workshops (May 2 + 3, 2026) being held? - **A:** 2-Day Horse Neuroscience and Biomechanics Workshops (May 2 + 3, 2026) takes place on Sat, 02 May, 2026 at 09:00 am to Sat, 02 May, 2026 at 04:00 pm at Riding at Webb Ranch, 2720 Alpine Road, Portola Valley, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for 2-Day Horse Neuroscience and Biomechanics Workshops (May 2 + 3, 2026)? - **A:** Ticket prices for 2-Day Horse Neuroscience and Biomechanics Workshops (May 2 + 3, 2026) range from USD 55 to USD 215 depending on the ticket type.
