À propos de cet audio

In 2008, 26-year-old Tik Maynard faced a crossroads not unlike that of other young adults. A university graduate and modern pentathlete, he suffered both a career-ending injury and a painful breakup, leaving him suddenly adrift. The son of prominent Canadian equestrians, Maynard decided to spend the next year as a "working student." In the horse industry, working students aspire to become professional riders or trainers, and willingly trade labor for hands-on education. Here Maynard chronicles his experiences-good and bad-and we follow along as one year becomes three, what began as a casual adventure gradually transforms, and a life's purpose comes sharply into focus.

Over time, Maynard evolved under the critical eyes of Olympians, medal winners, and world–renowned figures in the horse world, including Anne Kursinski, Johann Hinnemann, Ingrid Klimke, David and Karen O'Connor, Bruce Logan, and Ian Millar. He was ignored, degraded, encouraged, and praised. He was hired and fired, told he had the "wrong body type to ride" and that he had found his "destiny." He got married and lost loved ones. Through it all he studied the horse, and human nature, and how the two can find balance. And in that journey, he may have found himself.

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this audio read by the author. I had the pleasure of meeting Tik last fall at an equestrian event in BC. I was pleased with how friendly he was and how respectful he was to every single person who came to his booth after his sessions. This is reflected in this book. Appreciate him sharing his experiences, often times cheering, others damming how he was treated. It’s a mix of personal experiences, some education, and he introduced me to trainers I had little knowledge about in a grounded personal way.
I’ll probably listen to this again as I’m sure I missed some details. Plus, he’s a good reader and storyteller

With sincerity and vulnerability

As someone who grew up riding and competing and expected to become a professional, I deeply resonated with this book. It was vulnerable, thought provoking and extremely well written. I love that he a lifelong student of the horse and openly shares that philosophy. well done Tik, can't wait to read the next one!

The perfect blend of storytelling and education l
