Ocala area folks — does your horse struggle with trailering? Tik Maynard is here to help! 🫡

We’re looking for a few horses with trailering and loading challenges to work with Tik on camera later this month. If your horse has a tough time with loading, unloading, or staying calm & confident while hauling, we’d love to hear more about you, your horse, where you’re getting stuck, and how your barn is set up. (We’ll come to you!)

The newest episode of Dear Horse World is here!

A saddle that looks fine might still be causing chronic pain, behavior issues, and even breaking the trust between horse and rider. Jochen Schleese has spent decades uncovering the hidden ways saddle fit affects both horse and rider. In this episode, he sits down with Noëlle to expose the realities of poor saddle fit, why so many saddles aren’t designed for women, and the small changes can make a big difference in comfort, confidence, and connection.

In December, one of our Facebook posts sparked a big debate: does the American equitation system put too much pressure on riders to look the part?

We're joined this week by Nicki Shahinian-Simpson, who knows what it’s like to chase the perfect position — she’s won both Maclay and Medal Finals. But she’s also seen how that pressure can steal your confidence.

Tune in as Nicki and Noelle break down the realities of position: what actually matters, how it affects your riding, and why strength, individuality, and skill should take priority over fitting the mold.

A big NF+ round of applause for Karl and Cara!  👏  And if you missed it, we caught up with the Cooks right after their return from Paris — you can read the full conversation on the blog.
