✨Repost✨

Join us on Tuesday, June 10 for a live virtual book talk with Tik Maynard!

We'll be discussing his new memoir, "Starting in the Middle: How Horses, Those Who Study Them, and 265 Minutes with One C**t Helped me Find Myself at Midlife" -- a deeply honest look at how horses help us make sense of ourselves, our relationships, and our path forward, especially in the messy middle of life.

Tik will read a few favorite passages, share the stories behind them, and answer your questions live. Whether you've read the book cover to cover, read Tik's previous memoir, "In the Middle Are the Horsemen," or just love good stories and thoughtful conversations about horse training and life, we'd love to have you with us.

The event is free and open to all, and a replay will be available to everyone who registers. Visit the link in 's bio to save your seat!

A little "natural horse" wisdom:

Make it easier for your horse to "go"...😅😁...and save hay (and 💰)

"Most horses have opinions and preferences about where they like to go—and most of these horses will prefer fluffy stuff to packed and trampled surfaces. In a hard paddock, peeing in a big fluffy pile of hay will seem like the best idea ever!" writes Iveta Jebáčková-Lažanská in her book KEEPING HORSES OUTDOORS. "Provide them with a small, easy-to-maintain absorbent space that will be attractive to them: create a defined area and fill it with some kind of soft material: straw, sand, leaves, sawdust, or shavings. You'll be happy knowing you've helped satisfy one of your horses' most basic needs." ❤️🐴📕
