🌟 NF+ Limited Series: Groundwork Guys

We’re excited to introduce a brand-new limited-time series now streaming exclusively for NF+ members!

The first release, Trailer Loading, is available today, and NF+ members get early access to all five episodes one week before they’re public.

Each episode follows Tik Maynard and Nick Rivera, also known as The Groundwork Guys, as they take on real-world training challenges. You’ll see the full process, from their first conversation and plan, through hands-on groundwork, to a final debrief packed with insights and next steps.

This is authentic horsemanship in action, showing what it truly looks like to build understanding and confidence from the ground up.

Enjoy the series over the next few months, and keep an eye out for a reminder before it leaves NF+ for good. 😉

Watch episode 1 below, then catch the full series here.

If you’ve watched Josh Nichol’s masterclasses or joined his office hours, you’ll love this. 

Josh recently stepped into the judge’s seat at Heart of the Horse, a colt-starting competition, and shared powerful insights on what true horsemanship looks like when the pressure is on. His reflection is full of takeaways that go beyond the arena and into everyday training.
