Did you catch last week’s episode of Dear Horse World with Dr. Jill Hechtman?

It sparked a big conversation about riding while pregnant — or choosing not to — on our social channels, so we wanted to bring it here for anyone who wants to share their experiences or keep the conversation going.

If you’ve faced this decision yourself, what helped you navigate it? If you’re thinking about starting a family, what riding-related questions are on your mind?

We know this is a personal and often sensitive topic, and there’s no one right answer — at NF+, we respect every choice and encourage you to work with your own doctor to decide what’s best for you.

Tik Maynard is back for Office Hours on Monday, May 27th! 

Fresh off his second Road to the Horse win, a new bestselling book, and his hit course Riding with Tik Maynard — Tik’s ready to answer your questions live.

Whether you’re working on flatwork, fences, groundwork, or just figuring out what your horse is thinking — this is your chance to get expert advice from one of the most trusted horsemen in the game.

All levels. All disciplines. All welcome. (And yes, probably at least one dad joke.)

📅 Register here to join us! 

📧 Submit your questions for Tik here!

And if you can't make it day-of, no worries — the full replay will be available on NF+. See you there!

Tuesday is upon us, and we’re excited to welcome our new members:  Monica Jacobs, Marilyn Ostra, and Autumn Walker !

We’d love it if you told us a little about yourself, your horse(s), and what inspired you to join NF+ in the comments.

Feel free to share a photo, too! If you have any questions or need help, just let us know 🙌

Submit your riding videos & join us tomorrow, Tuesday, April 22nd at 2 pm ET / 11 am PT for a "Review My Ride" virtual clinic with Josh Nichol! 

Don’t worry about creating a long video — just 2-5 minutes of your ride is all Josh needs to give you real-time feedback. This is a safe, supportive space where you’ll get actionable advice and learn exactly how to connect with your horse on a deeper level.

Whether you’re working on groundwork, riding under saddle in any discipline, or dealing with specific behavioral challenges, Josh’s horse-first approach will help you better understand what your horse is feeling and how to communicate more effectively.

Submit your video and register to join us live!

P.S. Can’t submit a video? No worries! Join live to watch Josh’s feedback and gain valuable insights. And if you can't make it live, the full replay will be available on NF+. See you there!
