Tik Maynard’s Four Building Blocks to Better Horsemanship

Most horse training starts with techniques. This series starts with understanding.

If you’ve ever felt the pressure to train a certain way—to rely on control over curiosity, mechanics over feel—you know how easy it is to question your instincts. The truth is, great horsemanship isn’t about following a formula, it’s about learning to see, listen, and respond in a way that makes sense to the horse​.

Tik Maynard doesn’t just teach methods—he redefines the way we think about training. In this cinematic, real-world docuseries, Tik takes you beyond mechanics and into the heart of true horsemanship: Observation, Communication, Motivation, and Play​.

Through breathtaking locations, unscripted moments, and deep conversations with top equestrians, Tik shows how the best training doesn’t force—it invites. Each episode reveals another layer of horsemanship, highlighting the small, intentional shifts that create real transformation. Riders walk away with more than training techniques—they gain confidence, clarity, and a deep understanding of how to show up for their horse in a way that fosters trust and connection​.

What You’ll Experience:

🔹 Observation: Learn to see the horse in front of you—before you ever pick up a lead rope.
🔹 Communication: Go beyond cues and aids to create a language your horse truly understands.
🔹 Motivation: Discover what makes a horse want to engage, rather than just comply.
🔹 Play: Transform training from a routine into a relationship built on curiosity and trust.

Most riders don’t struggle with a lack of skill—they struggle with a lack of clarity. This is where everything shifts.

With stunning cinematography and immersive storytelling, this series captures not just the how of better horsemanship, but the why.

Because the real transformation isn’t in the horse—it’s in you.​
