Colt Starting w/ Bill Oliver
2025-06-05 08:00 - 16:00
This clinic has been compared to a 30 Day colt start with most trainers, or if you trained at home alone – your colt should be ready to take on and ride after just 3/4 days working with Bill and his team. The clinic fee covers the Horse and Rider learning in the four day session!
This unique four (4) day colt starting clinic at our ranch in Cody, Wyoming. See first-hand how Bill uses the natural way horses communicate to gain their trust and acceptance of saddle and riders for the first time. All colts should be unstarted and halter broke.
Clinic participants and their colts learn the process of starting the horse under saddle. Colts will go from barely halter broke to riding out with a snaffle by the end of the 4-day clinic. This clinic is for riders of all skill levels and horses not started ages 2-3 years old. (Riders must be 16 Years of age or older)
$35/day audit fee, $115 for all 4 days. For one day audits, just contact us.
$975/Horse+Rider (If you want to bring a horse and have us match it to a rider, or if you want to ride a colt and are accepted under the mentorship program, contact Jody (307) 527-7098).

Lunchtime Expedition: Flowers, Bees, and Supporting Pollinators in a Changing World
2025-06-05 12:00 - 13:00 | Buffalo Bill Center of the West, BBCW | 720 Sheridan Ave, Cody, Wyoming
Discover how pollinator habitat restoration, planting for pollinators, and native bee conservation can support both healthy ecosystems and food systems. In this Lunchtime Expedition, Dr. Laura Burkle, professor of Ecology at Montana State University, will explore the critical relationships between flowering plants and their pollinators—especially native bees. Drawing from her research in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, Dr. Burkle will explain how specific flowering plants impact bee populations and how you can apply these insights to support pollinators in your own yard or in large-scale restoration projects.Dr. Laura Burkle teaches in the Department of Ecology at Montana State University in Bozeman. Her research focuses on plant-pollinator interactions and how environmental changes—including wildfire, climate shifts, and chemical exposure—impact pollinator communities. Across the Rocky Mountain West, she investigates ways to conserve and restore native bees and their habitats. Outside of her academic work, Dr. Burkle enjoys trail running, gardening, baking, crafting, music, and spending time outdoors with her family.

Presentation: Knowing the West
2025-06-12 18:00 - 19:30 | Buffalo Bill Center of the West, BBCW | 720 Sheridan Ave, Cody, Wyoming
Join us the evening of June 12 for this presentation in our occasional Peter Hassrick Public Program series. Mindy Besaw, a former curator of our Whitney Western Art Museum, presents Knowing the West, based on a traveling exhibition co-curated by Besaw and Jami Powell that premiered at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas, where Besaw has worked since 2014.
Mindy Besaw shares insights about the exhibition Knowing the West, the first major traveling exhibition to embrace the American West as more inclusive, complex, and reflective of the diverse peoples who contributed to art and life there. Americans often feel they “know the West,” whether informed by direct experience or popular culture. The exhibition of more than 120 historic works by Native American and non-Native American artists brings together textiles, baskets, paintings, pottery, sculpture, beadwork, saddles, and prints to encourage deeper exploration of a familiar topic. This lecture highlights the remarkable artworks and stories about the artists, and reveals behind-the-scenes insight into the deeply collaborative process used to organize and realize the exhibition.
Knowing the West premiered at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art (September 2024–January 2025). It travels to the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens in Jacksonville, Florida (March–August 2025) and North Carolina Museum of Art (March–May 2026). The exhibition is accompanied by a multi-author, full-color catalogue, published by Rizzoli.

SOLD OUT! Exclusive Tours and Trails: Buffalo Bill’s TE Ranch
2025-06-15 13:00 | Buffalo Bill Center of the West, BBCW | 720 Sheridan Ave, Cody, Wyoming
Join us for an exclusive, guided experience through the storied past of Buffalo Bill Cody’s legendary TE Ranch. Nestled in the breathtaking South Fork Valley, this tour provides a rare opportunity to explore one of the most iconic ranches in the West. Once the personal retreat of Buffalo Bill himself, this walk through history offers privileged access to this historic property rarely open to the public.
Established by William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody in 1895, the TE Ranch served as both a working cattle operation and a relaxing haven for the man who captivated the world with his Wild West Shows. Today, the TE is still a working cattle ranch and in 2021 its owners and managers were named “Landowners of the Year” in the Big Horn Basin by the Wyoming Fish and Game Department.
During this unforgettable event, guests will see the original ranch grounds, historic buildings, and preserved landscapes that reflect Buffalo Bill’s pioneering vision. Participants will hear historical facts and stories that delve into Cody’s complex legacy and learn about the TE Ranch’s heritage, including its connection to the Shoshone irrigation project and development of the Big Horn Basin.
This is more than a tour; it’s a journey into the past and a chance to walk where legends walked. With extremely limited group size, personalized interpretation, and exclusive access, this is a unique opportunity for history enthusiasts, heritage travelers, and admirers of the true American West.
This Tours & Trails event begins at the Center of the West at 1 p.m. on Sunday, June 15. We expect to return to the Center around 5 p.m. or a bit later. There will be quite a bit of walking at the ranch, some of it on uneven ground, so please wear sturdy walking shoes.
Spots are limited and advanced registration is required. Cost is $70 for Buffalo Bill Center of the West members and $75 for non-members. Shared transportation to the ranch is available, and tickets to this program include complimentary snacks and water.
