The Spring Bootcamp 2026
What can be felt can be understood —
and what can be understood can be taught.
Everything included:
The Blueprint Series — 6 sessions, approximately 90 minutes of core knowledge — available immediately as video and private podcast. The complete framework behind training and educating horse and rider — and everything the Bootcamp develops.
The Guide — "Understanding What You Feel" — a practical resource for Icelandic horse riders. Available immediately.
The Spring Bootcamp 2026 — a focused 3-week active training period built around Straightness, Transitions and the Half Halt — applied directly in your daily riding.
Front row seat to real transformation — you join a community where the framework is already working. Existing participants are now applying the foundation at a deeper level — and you get to see what becomes possible when understanding meets deliberate practice. In real time, with real horses and riders.
Live Q&A — May 2026 — a live session with Bent Rune while the Bootcamp material is fresh and you are applying it in the season.
Live Q&A — August 2026 — a second live session mid-August to consolidate what you have developed and prepare for the autumn season.
Material access until end of August 2026 — so you can work through everything at your own pace throughout the riding season.
Bonus: Seat Secrets mini-course — included with your registration.
Questions about the Blueprint and the Guide are welcome throughout the instructor-led Bootcamp period and at both live Q&A sessions. Nothing is consumed in isolation.

Not as three separate topics. As one connected system — applied directly in your daily riding, with structure and direction throughout.
