Synopsis
An extraordinary follow-up to the bestselling memoir In the Middle Are the Horsemen.
He thought he had it made. Dream farm. Amazing wife. Wonderful kids. Clear and present purpose.
Horses.
But then he began to wonder if he was doing it all right enough…if maybe he’d been doing it for long enough. He began to wonder if it was right at all.
When midlife appeared before horseman Tik Maynard, he had plenty of past adventures to cite and no shortage of future possibilities.
But his own questions about his life as a horse trainer and equestrian competitor began to overwhelm the joy of all he had accomplished and discovered.
It suddenly became imperative that he reconsider his path and open himself to alternatives—and a course that might drastically differ from what he’d always thought he wanted.
