Tik Maynard

Tik Maynard was in Pony Club from ages 6 to 21. He achieved his ‘A’ level in 2002. He was Canadian National Champion in Tetrathlon (2000). He was part of the National Champion Team in PPG (1997), and part of the Canadian Team that won gold in Kentucky in 1998. Tik received his Bachelor of Arts (History) from the University of British Columbia in 2005. For much of his twenties Tik competed full time in the sport of Modern Pentathlon (running, swimming, shooting, fencing, show jumping). Tik was on the Canadian National Team and won the National Championships twice. He also competed at multiple World Cups, World Championships, and at the 2007 Pan-Am Games in Rio. Since 2008 Tik has been training horses full time. After spending three years as a working student he became the assistant trainer to Anne Kursinski, then the head trainer at Bow Brickhill Stables in New Jersey. After marrying Sinead, one of the top 3-day eventers in the world, Tik started his own business, then in 2016, after Tik and Sinead bought Copperline Farm in Citra (just north of Ocala), they merged their businesses into one. In 2024, Maynard won all three rounds of the World Championship of Colt Starting event, Road To The Horse, with his colt. The pair’s quiet and steady progress throughout kept all in awe as he easily moved through the different components of the event. He finished with a cumulative score of 1,023.5 and $90K. He will return to Road To The Horse 2025 just after EquiFest of KS!
