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!

Join us on April 8 for a special NF+ Office Hours with Tik Maynard!

William Fox-Pitt, a living legend in the sport of eventing, joins us this week for a wide-ranging conversation on resilience, recovery, and a life spent chasing something deeper than ribbons.

From his childhood on horseback to his first five-star win at just 25, the horses who shaped his iconic career, and the fall that nearly ended it — William reflects on the highs and lows of a lifetime in the saddle, and shares what he’s come to believe really matters in the end.

The first three episodes of our brand-new case study series, Riding with Tik Maynard, are now streaming on NF+!

In each case study, Tik works with real riders and horses in unscripted sessions. The initial three episodes introduce you to Diane and her young horse, Chico, as they move the early stages of backing with patience, precision, and a whole lot of listening.

Plus, these new episodes come just in time to cheer Tik on as he defends his title at Road to the Horse! More to come on that in 3... 2... 1...

Noëlle will be sitting down soon with financial coach Mary Hurston for a No Stupid Questions episode of Dear Horse World, and we want your questions on money, finances, and budgeting as a rider and horse owner!

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the financial side of horse ownership — whether it’s covering unexpected vet bills, the expense of show season, or just managing the month-to-month costs — this is your chance to ask an expert. Mary is a financial coach (and fellow equestrian) who knows firsthand that no two months of horse ownership look the same.

Drop your questions for Mary below and we'll ask as many as we can during the episode. (And no question is too basic or simple: when we say "no stupid questions," we mean it!) 

Join us tomorrow, Tuesday, March 18th at 2 pm ET / 11 am PT for a "Review My Ride" virtual clinic with Josh Nichol! 

This is a great opportunity to get personalized advice from Josh on your training questions, and to learn from other riders' experiences and challenges. 

Let us know you'll be there and add the clinic to your calendar! (And if you can't make it, the full replay will be available on NF+). Then, submit your video here for a chance to have Josh review it during the event.

Let us know if you have any questions & see you tomorrow!
