A screening of Horse Teacher, a documentary featuring Gail Todter at her farm in Afton where the film was shot

A cinematic portrait of equine artist Gail Todter. Her life-long story of working with horses beyond riding them, takes us on her journey of what it means to be human and the lessons that could have only been learned from an animal much larger than her. Filmed on her dreamy farm in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, we have an intimate encounter with a woman who is a student of the horse and the space in which her ride unfolds. We will listen to her words from the pages of her journal, which she handbound herself. Her horses, dog, cat, garden, turquoise chaps, tractors, and yoga studio are the arena for which she takes the reins, loosens them, leads with certainty, releases into wild pastures to graze on the nourishment of what feeds her most.
