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.
Absolutely wonderful book!!! Tik is an amazing writer. This was truly one of the best books I have ever read. Tik is an amazing writer, and while my daughter has ridden with him a few times, this book truly showed me where he comes from. I don’t want to ruin any of the story line, but I have been working with horses for many years, and have one if the most difficult horses I have ever dealt with in my life at the moment. I loved reading all of Tik’s Experiences throughout the years, and BECAUSE of what he experienced plan on sending my guy to him this fall as well as hope to begin riding with him myself.READ IT I'm a longtime professional "horseman" and I've read a LOT of books about horses. I had a horse in training with Tik and found him to be a true communicator with horses. They totally connect with him. The energy between horse and man is palpable. I did not know at the time that Tik was also an author.I think I might have picked at his brain a bit further if I had! I started reading In The Middle Are The Horsemen yesterday when I had lost my voice [ thus my ability to work at teaching!] and couldn't put it down. I even pulled out my highlighter pen to mark the multiple snippets of wisdom! This is a MUST read for anyone who deals with horses and is interested in one man's journey to find his special niche. Honest Humble Introspective Educational. It's all about HORSEMANSHIP. Thank you Tik for a great read!!Enjoyed his writing style I believed his journey. I liked the honesty and sincerity.I respected his openness to many different facets of the horse world. I identified with his search for more knowledge and the troubles of figuring out where and how to use that education.My husband is a teacher and on my recommendation, he and other teachers are going to read and discuss this book. I'm excited!
