PONCHA SPRINGS, Colo. June 18, 2009— Have you ever had an ad drop out at the last moment—or a space that didn’t sell before printing deadline? Or has someone turned in a story that’s just a little too short? It’s Julie Goodnight and www.juliegoodnight.com to the rescue. Check out the newest addition to Goodnight’s online “Training Library” here and read more about training online (found with a quick link at the top of www.juliegoodnight.com <http://www.juliegoodnight.com> ). Goodnight—known for her clear communication in print and on her new RFD-TV show, Horse Master with Julie Goodnight—provides a tip each month for use when you, as an editor, need just a little more content or a great quip to fill out your magazine. Tips may be edited for style, length and content. Content is provided free of charge. Here’s a tip to help you when you’re in a layout crunch or need a juicy bit for your web site . . .
Keep A Balking Horse Moving Forward
A balking horse is one that refuses to move forward in response to normal cues-- usually because you’re asking him to go somewhere he doesn’t want to go. Barring legitimate reasons for the horse not to go forward, like asking him to step over a rattle snake, the horse has become willfully disobedient and you must correct him immediately. Cue him to move forward by reaching your hands up towards his ears, letting your weight come forward and your legs to stretch back and close in his sides. Be sure to exaggerate reaching forward so your horse is very clear of your intentions; often I see people pulling back on the reins when trying to cue the horse forward. When he’s looking for an excuse not to go forward, even the slightest contact on the reins will give him an excuse to move anywhere but forward.
Watch more about solving this problem on the “Homeward Bound” episode of Horse Master with Julie Goodnight, available on DVD.

SALIDA, Colo., June 3, 2009: To kick off a summer of riding, watch brand-new episodes of Horse Master with Julie Goodnight, shot at Arizona’s Queen Creek Equestrian Centre and South Carolina’s Camelot Farms and covering topics such as herd and barn sour horses, speed control, using the emergency pulley rein, and taking control of a horse who escapes each time he’s longed.
Goodnight’s first student is a horse that throws a fit whenever the herd leaves her alone with her rider. Goodnight demonstrates how to quickly put an end to this game playing. Next up, you’ll see a horse that thinks he sets the pace and the tempo. Unbeknownst to his rider, she’s reinforcing this behavior by sending him the wrong message. As a precaution, Goodnight also explains the emergency stopping rein aid. Then watch Goodnight show a young rider, who’s just learning how to jump and yearns to get it right, the correct way to set up trotting and cantering poles.
Horse Master’s RFD-TV episodes air every Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. EST (with encores airing Thursday and Saturday nights) on Direct TV channel 345, Dish Network channel 231 as well as cable outlets. See the expanded schedule below.

Bitting issues: For the September, 2009 shoot to be held in Salida, Colorado, Goodnight will break from the usual form and work specifically with horses with bit issues. She’s looking for riders with horses that have control problems under saddle for either a lack of training or poor training or riding. For example, they may toss their heads, root on the reins, throw their heads up or take hold of the bit and run off. Also, Goodnight’s looking for high-level dressage or reining horses that won’t round up into a collected frame and that resist any pressure from the rider's hands or that gape open the mouth. Dale Myler, of Myler Bits®, will be joining Goodnight as guest host. By switching bits and learning to ride with new tack, the training team will help solve aggravating problems.
Horse Shopping? In addition, Goodnight’s planning a horse-buying series and will help a potential buyer through the selection process. To qualify for this incredible opportunity, you should be an adult intermediate to advanced rider who is looking for a reliable pleasure mount in the $10,000 price range. Perhaps a previous experience made you lose your confidence and realize how valuable a well-trained and bomb-proof horse is. So now you’re looking for a horse that you can take lessons and go to clinics on, possibly learn a new discipline, maybe even do some low-key showing at some point. But primarily you will use this horse to pleasure and trail ride.

PONCHA SPRINGS, Colo. May 20, 2009 — Horse trainer and educator Julie Goodnight recommends Myler Bits® -- the bit company known for its dedication to education about biomechanics and helping horses relax and avoid mouth pain. Goodnight started using Myler Bits more than 10 years ago, and has consistently suggests the bits to riders in her clinics and on her television show.
“The bits caught my eye the very first time I saw them in a tack store, and I quickly realized I was drawn to them because of their ergonomic design,” Goodnight says. “The bits are made with the horse’s mouth in mind. It wasn’t long before I bought one. Now all my favorite bridles have Myler bits hanging on them. I rely on Myler bits exclusively as the bit of choice for me and the horses and riders that I train. I’ve appreciated the educational approach the Mylers have always taken. It’s only through educating riders about bits and how they work that the horses will benefit. Pick up the Myler book or DVD and you’ll quickly learn more about the horse’s mouth than you’ve ever known and why Myler bits get results.”
The creators of Myler Bits — Ron, Dale and Bob Myler of Marshfield, Missouri – believe you should think of the bit as a tool to communicate with your horse. The brothers believe that your horse must be relaxed, and for him to be relaxed, his mouth must be comfortable.
Julie Goodnight agrees with the Myler philosophy. She says, “I’ve learned that all the tactics horses use to evade the bit have to do with relieving tongue pressure, and that it’s only when the horse’s mouth is relaxed and comfortable that he can soften his neck, lift his shoulders and round his back. Conventional bits can put excessive pressure on the horse’s tongue, making him tense and resistant. Myler bits are designed to give the horse all the comfort and tongue release he can take, given his level of training and the rider’s ability.”
Myler Bits offer a choice of mouth pieces and side pieces. Plus, each bit is rated for a specific training level. Level 1 bits are designed for young or newly trained horses. Horses may progress through the levels depending on their training and their riders’ skill. Check out http://www.mylerbits.com for a full explanation of the levels and for guidance as you select the correct bit for you and your horse.
Myler Bits on TV: Watch for upcoming Horse Master episodes featuring bits—and guest host Dale Myler will appear for 2010 shows. Myler will join Goodnight to help riders understand why their horses toss their heads, carry their heads high, or otherwise avoid bit pressure. By switching bits and learning to ride with new tack, the training team will help solve aggravating problems.
If you’ll be in Central Colorado in September, 2009 and would like to work with Myler and Goodnight, apply to be a Horse Master cast member online at: http://www.horsemaster.juliegoodnight.com/apply.html
Goodnight says, “We're looking for horses that have control problems under saddle for either a lack of training or poor training or riding. Perhaps they toss their head, root on the reins, throw their head up or take hold of the bit and run off. Horses that will not round up into a collected frame and resist any pressure from the rider's hands. Horses that are stiff and braced in the neck any time you ask for a stop or turn. Horses that gape open the mouth (and are thought to need a “flash”, horses that put their tongues over the bit or stick their tongues outside their mouth when being ridden. If you have any of these problems with your horse, please apply!”

Or has someone turned in a story that’s just a little too short? It’s Julie Goodnight and www.juliegoodnight.com to the rescue. Check out the newest addition to Goodnight’s online “Training Library” here and read more about training online (found with a quick link at the top of www.juliegoodnight.com <http://www.juliegoodnight.com> ). Goodnight—known for her clear communication in print and on her new RFD-TV show, Horse Master with Julie Goodnight—provides a tip each month for use when you, as an editor, need just a little more content or a great quip to fill out your magazine. Tips may be edited for style, length and content. Content is provided free of charge. Here’s a tip to help you when you’re in a layout crunch . . .
Out of Kick Zone
Here's a quick tip for staying safe while doing groundwork with any horse and especially when working around young or green horses. Always keep in mind that a horse can reach to the side as well as behind to kick. To stay safely out of his kick zone, use a flag and stick or another form of extension of your arm so you never have to step too close to your horse. You can use the flag and stick to shoo your horse away or as a barrier to keep a pushy horse from encroaching on your space.

Check out the newest addition to Goodnight’s online “Training Library” here and read more about training online (found with a quick link at the top of www.juliegoodnight.com <http://www.juliegoodnight.com> ). Goodnight—known for her clear communication in print and on her new RFD-TV show, Horse Master with Julie Goodnight—provides a tip each month for use when you, as an editor, need just a little more content or a great quip to fill out your magazine. Tips may be edited for style, length and content. Content is provided free of charge. Here’s a tip to help you when you’re in a layout crunch . . .
Out of Kick Zone
Here's a quick tip for staying safe while doing groundwork with any horse and especially when working around young or green horses. Always keep in mind that a horse can reach to the side as well as behind to kick. To stay safely out of his kick zone, use a flag and stick or another form of extension of your arm so you never have to step too close to your horse. You can use the flag and stick to shoo your horse away or as a barrier to keep a pushy horse from encroaching on your space.

SONOMA COUNTY, California, May 14, 2009: Join TV personality and master horse trainer Julie Goodnight for a vacation week at the Cowboy Hideaway Ranch in California’s Sonoma County wine country September 12-18, 2009. The exclusive resort offers posh quarters and fine food and wine during your 6 night, 7-day stay.

Each day during your riding vacation, you’ll start with an hour of light instruction followed by a ranch activity or trail ride –on the ranch’s Rocky Mountain Horses—through a vineyard and to a popular winery (see below for a daily itinerary). The Cowboy Hideaway crew will trailer the horses home and allow you time to investigate wine making and tasting.
Hurry, only 10 riding spots available. The facility recommends riding its horses and enjoying a week off from horse chores. The all-inclusive week (including accommodations, food, riding and instruction time) is $2,895 per person.

The itinerary (as posted on http://www.cowboyhideawayranch.com/itinerary.html):
Day 1
Collection from the meeting place in San Francisco.

Continue up though the rolling hills past the Russian River and Alexander Valley appellations. The next stop will be Francis Ford Coppola presents Rosso & Bianco. The route then takes you east, winding past the Blue Lakes to Cowboy Hideaway, your home for the week. The beautiful, newly built log home has very comfortable rooms, large inviting sitting areas with enormous fireplaces and stunning views of Clear Lake (one of the west's finest bass fishing lakes), woods and vineyards, and beautiful sunsets from the outdoors decks. A discussion of the week's activities over a local wine is followed by an exquisite dinner of local fresh ingredients.
Day 2
Begins with your introduction to your gaited Rocky Mountain Horse from Mountain Magic Ranch in Montana. This rare breed of horse with its characteristically smooth gait will be your companion for the week. Known for its natural four-beat gait it provides a very smooth ride. These horses are known for their sharp minds embracing a challenge with an impressive stamina yet a gentle disposition. The conformation and color of the Rocky Mountain Horse is striking turning many an artist's head in appreciation. A prolog to the many sights of the area from your guide will begin your ride. Your first ride will be on the mountain equestrian trails around Highland Springs reservoir. Broad trails allow the guests to visit and to learn first hand more about the many agricultural and natural wonders of the surrounding country side and to learn more about the viticulture of the grape growing region. A picnic lunch will be enjoyed underneath the spreading oak trees. A stop at a local winery is always a welcome respite after a day of riding. Returning to the Ranch guests will enjoy appetizers and beautiful views of the lake and the sunset before a wonderful dinner prepared by the ranch staff.
Day 3
Your day begins with an incredible tour of Charles Howard's Ridgewood Ranch, final resting place of Seabiscuit, who lifted the citizens of our country out of the despair of the Great Depression. He became the greatest icon of his time embodying the American sprit and winning the Santa Anita Handicap $100,000. You'll see the place where Red Pollard, Seabiscuit's "never say die" jockey, worked hard to bring them both back to shape so they could win at Santa Anita. After your tour and the viewing of a special movie, we will have lunch at Ridgewood Ranch followed by a beautiful ride through local vineyards ending your ride at one of the many wineries in the area.

Be a Cast Member on Horse Master with Julie Goodnight:
Bitting issues: For the September, 2009 shoot to be held in Salida, Colorado, Goodnight is breaking from the usual form and working specifically with horses with bit issues. She is looking for riders with horses that have control problems under saddle for either a lack of training or poor training or riding. For example, they may toss their heads, root on the reins, throw their heads up or take hold of the bit and run off. Goodnight also is looking for horses that will not round up into a collected frame and that resist any pressure from the rider's hands; horses that are stiff and braced in the neck any time you ask for a stop or turn; and horses that gape open the mouth, put their tongues over the bit or stick their tongues outside their mouth when being ridden.
Horse Shopping? In addition, Goodnight is planning a horse-buying series and will help a potential buyer through the selection process. To qualify for this incredible opportunity, you should be an adult intermediate to advanced rider who is looking for a reliable pleasure mount in the $10,000 price range. Perhaps a previous experience made you lose your confidence and realize how valuable a well-trained and bomb-proof horse is.

But primarily you will use this horse to pleasure and trail ride.

PONCHA SPRINGS, Colo. April 30, 2009: Special applicants are needed for the Horse Master with Julie Goodnight television taping session planned for September 9 through 11, 2009 in Salida, Colorado. During this unique shoot, Goodnight will work with Dale Myler of Myler Bits to help a horse and rider find the perfect tack and ride with comfort and ease. During the same shoot week, Goodnight will also assist a horse buyer through the selection process. Read on if you have a horse who seems out of control as you ride—avoiding bit pressure—or if you’re serious about buying the horse of your dreams.
“We'll be varying from our usual shoot plan during the shoot and are looking for horses that have control problems under saddle either because of a lack of training or poor training or riding,” Goodnight says. “Perhaps you have a horse that tosses his head, roots or pulls on the reins, throws his head up or takes hold of the bit and runs off with his head high in the air. We’ll also consider horses that will not round up into a collected frame and that resist any pressure from the rider's hands; horses that are stiff and brace in the neck any time you ask for a stop or turn are perfect candidates. Horses may also gape open the mouth, put their tongues over the bit or stick their tongues outside their mouth when being ridden.”
If your horse has a bitting issue and you live in Colorado or can travel to Colorado for the shoot, apply online at: http://www.horsemaster.tv
We're also planning a horse buying series! We're looking for an adult intermediate to advanced rider that is looking for a reliable pleasure mount in the $10,000 price range. Looking for a well-trained horse that she can take lessons/clinic on, perhaps learn a new discipline, maybe eeven do some low-key showing at some point. But primarily she will use this horse to pleasure and trail riding. She may have a lack of confidence and previous experience that makes her realize how valuable a well-trained and bomb-proof horse is. If you're interested in being our horse buyer, please fill out the horse buying application at http://juliegoodnight.com/horses/buyer.html in lieu of the usual Horse Master application and also e-mail horsemaster@juliegoodnight.com to let us know why you'd be great as our horse buyer--getting Julie's help as you find your perfect mount. The selected applicant must travel to Colorado for the planned horse buying shoot.

PONCHA SPRINGS, Colo. April 30, 2009 — Just as riders are getting back on the trails and re-entering the show ring for the warmer months, horse trainer Julie Goodnight, known internationally for her commitment to education and safety, announces her favorite Troxel helmet styles. Goodnight most often chooses the Reliance when riding English and the Sierra for a western look when hosting clinics and when working with riders on her Horse Master RFD-TV show.
Goodnight now sells a full line of Troxel helmets through her online tack and gear shop, http://www.Shop.JulieGoodnight.com, and offers free shipping on helmet orders placed through June 1, 2009. Or call 800-225-8827 to order any helmet in Troxel’s catalog.
“Beyond promoting the use of helmets, Troxel has worked hard to make helmets look good and be cool, and this is a mission that I share whole-heartedly with them,” says Goodnight.
The Troxel helmets that Goodnight relies on, and that are most often seen on her RFD-TV show, Horse Master, are the Sierra Western Performance Helmet for trail and western riding (http://www.shop.juliegoodnight.com/shop/appareltrailwesternhelmets.html) and the Reliance Modern English Helmet for riding English (http://www.shop.juliegoodnight.com/shop/apparelenglishsport.html). The Sierra is the first all-terrain helmet designed exclusively with the western rider in mind. The Sierra offers ASTM/SEI certification coupled with rugged, outdoor western styling. The helmet is designed to be ultra lightweight, extremely well ventilated, and comfortable for long days in the saddle. You can easily customize fit, get extra protection from the sun with its extended visor, and the mesh-covered vents keep out debris. The Sierra is the perfect western headgear for those who want comfort, western styling, and Troxel’s leadership in protection.
For English sport riders, the Reliance—designed for performance—is the most ventilated show helmet available. Discrete mesh-covered vents scoop cool, fresh air over and around your head while exhausting heat and stale air out. In addition to traditional black and classic charcoal, it comes in a fresh navy micro-fiber that looks very smart for spring.
Take advantage of the free shipping offer, good through June 1, 2009 (free shipping may not be combined with any other discount). Besides Julie’s favorites, choose from styles for schooling (choose the colorful Spirit for only $39.95, http://www.shop.juliegoodnight.com/shop/apparelschoolinghelmets.html) or showing (the elegant Victory is only $69.95, http://www.shop.juliegoodnight.com/shop/apparelenglishshowhelmets.html). And they can all be found at http://www.shop.juliegoodnight.com.

AHP Newsgroup: Put QuarterFest on this Weekend's To-Do List
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PUT QUARTERFEST ON THIS WEEKEND’S TO-DO LIST
America’s Horse, April 28, 2009 – Hannah Montana’s horse, “Blue Jeans”; the two-hour smoke, lights, music and horses Extravaganza; mounted shooting with Outlaw Annie Bianco; horsemanship clinics; a trail ride through the beautiful Cedars of Lebanon State Park <http://www.state.tn.us/environment/parks/Cedars/features/horseback.shtml> ; and horsey activities for the kids are sure to be the highlights of the first-ever QuarterFest: A Celebration of the American Quarter Horse, this weekend – May 1-3 – in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. America’s Horse is the official publication of QuarterFest and will be covering the event with daily updates.
America’s Horse editor Holly Clanahan is stepping outside her traditional-publishing comfort zone with tweets from QuarterFest on twitter.com/americashorse <http://twitter.com/americashorse> .
Twitter is a “microblogging” service. It simply lets users say what they’re doing at the moment in 140 characters or less,” Holly writes in her blog, The Gallop Report (americashorsedaily.com/tweet-smarts/). “Kind of like a haiku. For some users, it’s pretty mundane. But for others, it’s a way to get real-time updates on a variety of situations – everything from earthquakes to political revolts. For AQHA, well, we hope there isn’t any sort of revolt at QuarterFest, but we do plan to offer plenty of real-time updates from the event – everything from where the best parking can be found, to quick tips from the clinicians.
“Cool? Yes, absolutely. But it’s making us all talk a little funny.
“When you post an update on Twitter, it’s called ‘tweeting.’ And those who tweet are called ‘twitterers.’ And to tweet from my Blackberry phone, I had to download an application called ‘twibble,’ which can also be used in a verb form. So I’m tweeting, I’m twibbling, I’m twying to remember to pronounce my R’s.”
Be sure to also check americashorsedaily.com <http://americashorsedaily.com/> for a slideshow from each day of QuarterFest and experience the event through Clanahan’s camera lens.
QuarterFest is a tribute to everyone’s favorite animal – the American Quarter Horse. So bring your horse along. We’ll have clinics and demonstrations all weekend long, with seven professional horsemen and -women: Curt and Tammy Pate, a husband and wife from Newell, South Dakota; Jeff Griffith of Gallatin Gateway, Montana; Bob Avila of Temecula, California; Julie Goodnight of Salida, Colorado; Christy Landwehr of Aurora, Colorado; and Bo Winslow of Estes Park, Colorado.
There will be a limited number of spots available for people to participate in clinics with their horses. However, there are unlimited opportunities to attend clinics without your horse. Visit www.aqha.com/quarterfest <http://www.aqha.com/quarterfest> for the schedule and to enroll in the clinics and purchase your general admission, clinic and Extravaganza tickets. Avoid long lines at the gate and get your tickets online before you arrive!
The production company for “Hannah Montana: The Movie” has sent loads of Hannah Montana T-shirts, posters and other cool stuff, so besides getting your picture taken with Blue Jeans – be sure to bring your own camera – you’ll have a chance to get some of the cool movie merchandise, too.
In addition, the American Quarter Horse Association will also be offering several specials and giveaways including a WeatherBeeta cooler, AQHA Best Remuda coffee-table book or a Professional’s Choice saddle pad to those who purchase AQHA memberships as part of some crazy “blue-light specials”; a Tex Tan saddle for those who upgrade to three-year or life memberships; an MD Barns round-pen will be given away in a drawing from the names of those who do business at the AQHA booth; and a GPS and free riding hours will be given away in drawings related to the AQHA Horseback Riding Program. And the Dude Ranchers’ Association, an AQHA alliance partner, is giving away two dude ranch vacations – one each night of the Extravaganza. We’re even offering deals on subscriptions to AQHA’s official business publication, The American Quarter Horse Journal, which is the title sponsor of the QuarterFest Trail and Ranching Area.
QuarterFest is a three-day, education-packed celebration where horse enthusiasts from around the world will gather for fun, entertainment and festivities to honor the world’s most versatile horse – the American Quarter Horse. Our sponsors – Tractor Supply, B&W Trailer Hitches, John Deere, Justin Boots, Merial, Nutrena, Professional’s Choice, Bank of America, Montana Silversmiths, Farnam, Breyer, La Cense Montana, Priefert Ranch Equipment and Wrangler – share our passion for horses and are an integral part of QuarterFest.

Or has someone turned in a story that’s just a little too short? It’s Julie Goodnight and www.juliegoodnight.com to the rescue. Check out the newest addition to Goodnight’s online “Training Library” here and read more about training online (found with a quick link at the top of www.juliegoodnight.com <http://www.juliegoodnight.com> ). Goodnight—known for her clear communication in print and on her new RFD-TV show, Horse Master with Julie Goodnight—provides a tip each month for use when you, as an editor, need just a little more content or a great quip to fill out your magazine. Tips may be edited for style, length and content. Content is provided free of charge. Here’s a tip to help you when you’re in a layout crunch . . .
Catch and Hold
When you approach a horse out in the field to catch him, be prepared with your halter and lead rope ready. Approach toward the horse’s shoulder—not directly in front of the horse, and extend your hand when you get close, allowing him to smell you. To fit your horse with his rope and halter, first place the end of the lead rope around his neck, so that you have control. Then bring the halter under his neck with your left hand and reach over his neck at the withers with your right hand to grab the crown piece of the halter. You’ll have the halter ready in both hands as you reach up toward his ears and drop his nose in the slot and gently bring the crown piece over his ears to fasten. This method keeps your horse more secure while you are haltering him and prevent you from accidentally slapping him with the halter as you put it up over his ears. If you use a rope halter, make sure to tie it correctly, so that the excess rope points toward your horse’s rear.

Off-the-track Thoroughbred Habits
Many ex-race horses are adopted by recreational riders. While it’s great that these horses have a new lease on life, it helps to know how horses on the track are trained, ridden and handled. At the track, horses are often mounted and dismounted while they are walking, and are in continuous motion once the rider is up. Your off-the-track-Thoroughbred probably needs to be taught how to stand still and relax for mounting and when riding. Also, when racehorses are galloped, the tighter the rider holds the reins, the faster the horse goes. When you want a racehorse to stop, you loosen the reins. This seems backwards to most recreational riders and they often inadvertently cue a horse to go faster by holding the reins tight then panic as he moves quickly. To teach an “OTTB” to relax and go slowly, you must loosen the reins and keep them slack, picking up only when needed then releasing pressure immediately.

Trailering Safety with Leg Wraps
Protecting your horse’s leg during trailering or shipping is cheap insurance. As a hose rides in a trailer, there are constant challenges to his balance and on occasion he may lose his footing and step on himself or get stepped on by another horse. To protect your horse’s legs, you can use quilts and polo wraps or protective shipping boots made specifically for the purpose. Whichever kind of protection you use, make sure there is padding, so as not to restrict the horse’s circulation and that the wraps come down low, covering the coronary band. This delicate area at the top of the hoof is easily damaged when the horse trips or steps on himself; by covering it with the wrap or boot, it protects this sensitive area from damage.

PONCHA SPRINGS, Colo. February 18, 2009- Have you ever had an ad drop out at the last moment-or a space that didn't sell before printing deadline? Or has someone turned in a story that's just a little too short? Julie Goodnight to the rescue. Goodnight-known for her clear communication in print and on her new RFD-TV show, Horse Master with Julie Goodnight-provides a tip each month for use when you, as an editor, need just a little more content or a great quip to fill out your magazine. Tips may be edited for style, length and content. Content is provided free of charge. Here's a tip to help you when you're in a layout crunch . . .
Trailering Safety with Leg Wraps
Protecting your horse’s leg during trailering or shipping is cheap insurance. As a hose rides in a trailer, there are constant challenges to his balance and on occasion he may lose his footing and step on himself or get stepped on by another horse. To protect your horse’s legs, you can use quilts and polo wraps or protective shipping boots made specifically for the purpose. Whichever kind of protection you use, make sure there is padding, so as not to restrict the horse’s circulation and that the wraps come down low, covering the coronary band. This delicate area at the top of the hoof is easily damaged when the horse trips or steps on himself; by covering it with the wrap or boot, it protects this sensitive area from damage.

BOISE, Idaho, February 14, 2009— The Horse Affairs expo trots into Boise this weekend, February 20-22, 2009, at Expo Idaho. The show combines education about horses and shopping for anything horse related. The event features headliner Julie Goodnight (host of RFD-TV's Horse Master with Julie Goodnight).
Goodnight is an internationally respected trainer and clinician with experience in many types of training. She grew up riding ponies and horses on an Orlando farm and competed in hunter jumpers throughout her youth. Goodnight counts horses among her earliest friends; she spent many summer days hanging out in the horse pasture and studying how the horses moved and interacted. During her college days in New Mexico, Goodnight earned extra money by warming up Thoroughbreds on the race track. The cowgirl felt at home in the west and soon hit the trails and studying Western disciplines. Always the adventurer, she began leading riders through the Rocky Mountains. As a natural teacher, Goodnight decided to make horses her life's work-and to teach people how to work with horses safely and with kindness. Showing her dedication to teaching and safety, Goodnight earned her Master Instructor and Clinician ranking with the Certified Horsemanship Association (the association she continues to represent as International Spokesperson). She presents clinics and teaches people at horse expos around North America. She recently won Equine Affaire’s Exceptional Equestrian Educator award—an award only presented three times in the well-known trade show’s 15-year history.
Goodnight is now best known for her award-winning television show airing weekly on RFD-TV—Horse Master with Julie Goodnight. Through the show, Goodnight hopes to help all riders master their equestrian dreams and skills. As "The Horse Master," Goodnight shares the wisdom she's gained by reaching her master-level CHA status and encourages all horse people to become the leaders/masters their horses want and deserve. Natural horsemanship is founded on understanding horse behavior and the idea that horses look for leadership, direction and assurance that they're safe and acting appropriately. Goodnight strives to teach you how to master that ideal and emphasizes the importance of life-long learning.
At the 2009 Horse Affairs event, Goodnight presents the following clinics and presentations:
Friday: Life Lessons that Horses Teach Us; De-Spook Your Horse
Saturday: Build Your Confidence with Horses; Cinchy & Headshy: how to desensitize your horse
Sunday: Canter with Confidence; The Communicative Behavior of Horses
More about the show:
Admission: Adults 18+ - $10.00; Students 13-17 - $5.00; Children under 5 - Free (limit of three kids); Three Day Pass - $25.00. Call (888) 684-5172 or (208) 362-4343 for more information.

Murfreesboro, TN, February 14, 2009— The AQHA QuarterFest trots into Murfreesboro May 1-3, 2009 at the Tennessee Miller Equestrian Center. The show combines education about horses and shopping for anything horse related. The event features headliner Julie Goodnight (host of RFD-TV's Horse Master with Julie Goodnight).
Goodnight is an internationally respected trainer and clinician with experience in many types of training. She grew up riding ponies and horses on an Orlando farm and competed in hunter jumpers throughout her youth. Goodnight counts horses among her earliest friends; she spent many summer days hanging out in the horse pasture and studying how the horses moved and interacted. During her college days in New Mexico, Goodnight earned extra money by warming up Thoroughbreds on the race track. The cowgirl felt at home in the west and soon hit the trails and studying Western disciplines. Always the adventurer, she began leading riders through the Rocky Mountains. As a natural teacher, Goodnight decided to make horses her life's work-and to teach people how to work with horses safely and with kindness. Showing her dedication to teaching and safety, Goodnight earned her Master Instructor and Clinician ranking with the Certified Horsemanship Association (the association she continues to represent as International Spokesperson). She presents clinics and teaches people at horse expos around North America. She recently won Equine Affaire’s Exceptional Equestrian Educator award—an award only presented three times in the well-known trade show’s 15-year history.
Goodnight is now best known for her award-winning television show airing weekly on RFD-TV—Horse Master with Julie Goodnight. Through the show, Goodnight hopes to help all riders master their equestrian dreams and skills. As "The Horse Master," Goodnight shares the wisdom she's gained by reaching her master-level CHA status and encourages all horse people to become the leaders/masters their horses want and deserve. Natural horsemanship is founded on understanding horse behavior and the idea that horses look for leadership, direction and assurance that they're safe and acting appropriately. Goodnight strives to teach you how to master that ideal and emphasizes the importance of life-long learning.
More about QuarterFest (from http://www.aqha.com/news/2009PressReleases/01202009quarterfest.html)
Gather your friends and load up your horses for the first-ever QuarterFest: A Celebration of the American Quarter Horse. This one-of-a-kind event, May 1-3 in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, will be a chance to cure your cabin fever and revel in the arrival of spring with your horse.
QuarterFest is a tribute to everyone’s favorite animal – the American Quarter Horse. This year, our membership turns 68. While that may not sound like a landmark, you might feel otherwise if it was your 68th and no one had thrown you a party on any of the prior 67. To make up for it, we’re going to throw America’s Horse one heck of a shindig – so big it will last for three days!
The party is going to be at the Tennessee Miller Equestrian Center at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, Tennessee (see the facility at www.aqha.com/quarterfest).
“We see this as a great way to kick off the summer riding season,” said Tom Persechino, AQHA executive director of marketing and communications. “The Murfreesboro facility is close to nearby trails, so we’re looking at offering trail rides, trail trial competitions and American Quarter Horse test rides.”
We’ll have clinics all weekend long, with four of AQHA’s Professional Horsemen and -women: Curt and Tammy Pate, a husband and wife from Newell, South Dakota; Jeff Griffith of Gallatin Gateway, Montana; and Julie Goodnight of Salida, Colorado. You can bring your horse and participate for $15 per clinic in addition to gate admission.
We’ll have an exciting performance each afternoon, and an all-star American Quarter Horse Extravaganza on Friday and Saturday nights.
There will be seminars, demonstrations, contests and a dedicated youth area to make it fun for everyone. Some of the greatest American Quarter Horses and world champion horsemen and -women will be there to greet everyone.
And perhaps most importantly, AQHA will be kicking off its new conservation division. Taking an active role in preserving access to places to ride, upholding the traditions of horse ownership and enjoyment in America, and educating horsemen on building, preserving and behaving properly on trails is critical to our breed and members. The conservation section will give our members the industry leadership expected from AQHA in this crucial area.
Come to learn. Come to make friends. Come for the entertainment. But most of all, come to honor your horse. Details and reserve tickets will be available online soon at www.aqha.com/quarterfest. If you’re an AQHA member, you’ll be eligible for reduced admission at QuarterFest. So make plans now.
