Tim Hayes

When Tim Hayes studied psychology at the University of Vermont in the 1960s, he never guessed that he’d return decades later as a visiting instructor in the school’s department of animal science. After working 35 years in film and television, Hayes switched gears in 1992 and began working on a cattle ranch in Idaho. There, the New York City native spent three years immersed in the life of a cowboy and discovered his deep passion for horses. Today, Hayes is a nationally recognized expert in natural horsemanship and the author of Riding Home: The Power of Horses to Heal, an eye-opening exploration of equine therapy.
