Hi, I’m Tik Maynard. My wife and I both compete in three-day eventing and train horses for a living. Moving up the levels of eventing is how I set my GPS, but my drive to get there is tempered by my wish to deeply understand horses. This road has been slower but fun and scenic. The following is my 2020 Christmas wish list.
A traditional hackamore with a bosal and mecate. I start or restart 10 or so horses per year. After a few groundwork sessions I ride them in my jump saddle, which has become a beaten-up old friend. Usually I’ll have them in a rope halter for the first few rides.
