We are so excited that our very own Tik Maynard has won Road to the Horse for the second year in a row! Thank you to everyone who joined us this weekend — whether you were hanging out in the NF+ watch party threads or stopped by the booth in Lexington, it was so fun to cheer Tik on with all of you.

And good news: we’re extending your chance to win a private 30-minute Office Hours session with Tik! Everyone who comments here in RTTH forum between now and April 7 will be automatically entered. We’ll pick a winner during our April 8 webinar with Tik on NF+!

We were able to catch up on the final last night after coming back from the barn. Road to the Horse 2025 was a master class on what to do and what not to do. Tik demonstrated the balance of how much to push and when not to push to achieve maximum performance on a particular day. 

WAY TO GO TIK!!!! So well deserved. Tik was amazing!

FRIDAY ROAD TO THE HORSE WATCH PARTY THREAD 🎉

It’s the first day of RTTH, y’all! If you’re wondering what this wild event is all about, you can check out the Road To The Horse website or better yet, read the lovely pieces Tik wrote for us about his experience at Road To The Horse last year: A Letter to Tomcatt and Reflections on Road To The Horse. 

Tik will be competing in Championship Round 1 at 2:00 PM ET / 11:00 AM PT, and you can tune into the official livestream here. Don't forget, everyone who comments in a RTTH watch party thread this weekend is entered for a chance to win a free, private 30 minute Office Hours session with Tik! 

Until then, chat amongst yourselves, send Tik winning vibes, and let us know if you have any questions. We’ll reconvene at 2 PM to watch together!

Loved the clinic and demo today from Tik! That Buck!
