Founder + Ranch Manager
Blake Brightman
Blake is dedicated to fostering a space where horse and human can connect, learn, and find restoration. With a lifetime of experience in horsemanship and the built-in belief that horses are powerful teachers of confidence, connection, and presence, she has created a supportive space where the horse can offer grounding, perspective, and healing. Guided by the philosophy of natural horsemanship - a training approach that prioritizes communication, trust and respect by working with the horse’s natural instincts and behaviors - Blake is passionate about helping students build confidence in the saddle and within themselves. Through thoughtful care, hands-on instruction and a commitment to connection, B-3 is a community where people can experience the powerful, transformative gifts of the horse.

Certified Equine Gestalt Coach
Haley Sevalstad
Haley is the founder of Rising Free Retreats based in Livingston, MT, where she combines her intuitive nature with the healing power of horses to create a safe and supportive space for lasting change. As a Certified Equine Gestalt Coach, she guides women through their pain and struggles toward reconnecting with their true selves—aligned with their values, dreams, and deep sense of worth.
Haley believes we are all born whole and full of joy, and while life’s challenges can dim that light, it’s always possible to return home to ourselves. Rising Free Retreats is her vision of a haven—a place where women can find hope, healing, and the break in the clouds they’ve been searching for.
