PONCHA SPRINGS, Colo. March 15, 2008&lsqauo;Julie Goodnight brings her highly
acclaimed new RFD-TV show to Colorado this June 10-12, 2008. Her crew will

http://www.horsemaster.tv/images/HMapplicationpacket.doc &lsqauo;are still being

problem or area to work on (completed applications and videos accepted via
the Internet or e-mail to horsemaster@juliegoodnight.com. Only five horse
and rider teams will be selected to work with Julie and be a part of a Horse
Master episode&lsqauo;applications will be reviewed and accepted on a first come

today!
Julie Goodnight will also present an un-filmed horsemanship clinic in
Colorado Springs, CO June 28-29, 2008. The clinic is open to the public to
watch and audit. This is a benefit for Renee¹s Friends, a vital group that
raises money for breast cancer research. Located halfway between Colorado
Springs and Pueblo, Cactus Creek Ranch is right on the interstate, making it
easy to get to for everyone. Spectators and riders alike will have a
fantastic time and know that it is for a great cause. The clinic is limited
to 15 riders (unlimited spectators) to ensure each horse and rider gets the
individual attention they need to have greater success. Open to all
disciplines of riding and breeds of horses, Goodnight¹s clinic focuses on
understanding and improving your relationship with your horse, learning more
about horse behavior and training techniques and mastering critical riding
skills. Each morning starts with a groundwork session to hone your
communication with your horse then moves on to mounted work to improve your
balance, rhythm and communication with the horse. Each horse and rider team
works at their own pace and ability level. The primary goals for the clinic
are to have a safe and fun experience while improving your horsemanship and
gaining confidence. Spectators benefit tremendously from the clinic,
watching all the horses and riders, asking questions and interacting with
Julie and other clinic participants. For auditing tickets (for one or both
days), or to apply to be on the waiting list for riding spots, reserve your
space online at http://www.juliegoodnight.com/clinicreg.html or call
800-225-8827. You¹ll love Julie¹s friendly and clear teaching style and gain
lots of information to take home to work with your own horse.
More about Horse Master with Julie Goodnight Filming:
We¹re looking for a few good horses and their owners to star in the new
weekly TV series, Horse Master with Julie Goodnight and airing each
Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. MST on the nationally viewed RFD-TV. This show will
feature one horse/rider team in each episode, chosen from applicants that
have a problematic or difficult horse and/or want to learn a new skill in
order to succeed with their usually pleasant mount. Each episode will
revolve around a human with a horse problem or a horse with a human who
needs to keep learning to master their horsemanship skills. We¹re looking
for a broad representation of horses, people, disciplines, breeds and
issues. We¹ll want to know about your horse¹s history&lsqauo;about your
relationship and the better ³back story² the higher chances of being
selected! This show is about the horse-human bond&lsqauo;the real story of a
struggle and how to overcome and move on to live out dreams.
What to expect: If chosen, you and your horse will work one-on-one with
nationally renowned natural horsemanship trainer Julie Goodnight &lsqauo;
http://www.juliegoodnight.com / http://www.horsemaster.tv
Julie will work with the horse and teach you both how to work better
together. You¹ll have to make a commitment of two full days during the
scheduled time, commit to having you and your horse present and prepared for
the show (with our guidance) and to personal expenses for you and your horse
(including your own wardrobe, travel expenses and board at the shot location
if applicable).
Horse Master is coming to a town near you:
June 10, 11, 12&lsqauo;2008, Julie¹s Ranch in Salida, Colorado
September 2, 3, 4&lsqauo;2008, Martha¹s Vineyard, Massachusetts
**We also need volunteers at each shooting location to assist with rider
check in, horse preparation and shooting needs.
The ideal human participant for Horse MasterŠ
· Will have a dynamic personality with a huge investment in horses
(emotional, time, energy and resources); perhaps new to horses or rode as a
kid. Had a lifelong dream of having a horse and riding off into the sunset
together&lsqauo;reality is not living up to the dream. Someone recovering from a
horse wreck and struggling to get back to riding. Or a youth or older rider
trying to get to the next horsemanship level.
· For some, philanthropic goals may have guided horse selection (rescue
horse, PMU baby, Mustang, etc). If you have grand goals, but feel over your
head, you may be perfect for the show.
· Or perhaps you¹re a more experienced hand&lsqauo;or even a professional&lsqauo;who¹s
come across a horse that¹s difficult or has such serious training issues
that you¹re at a loss as to what to do next. Or maybe you¹re stuck and don¹t
know what to do to get to the next training or showing level. Something¹s
just not coming together and you need a boost.
· Maybe you got into horses with a naive view of what is involved in the
training of a horse or building a relationship with him. Perhaps there has
been a tendency to treat your horse like a pet.
The ideal horse participantŠ (May be a combo of several)
· Middle-aged, trained riding horse that¹s spoiled, ill-mannered, no
leading manners, no respect or deference to handler, may be ok under saddle
but a problem on the ground. We¹re looking for horses that won¹t load in a
trailer, are afraid to cross water, won¹t move close for you to open a gate,
don¹t want to be near other horses, are barn or gate sour, are cinchy, are
head shy, are clipper shy, move ahead of you while you¹re leading, etc.
· Green horse&lsqauo;a novice rider bought a green broke 3-4 y/o and then began
to systematically un-train him and now he is confused about what to do, how
to respond to the bit, disobedient, etc. A horse who won¹t pick up correct
leads, won¹t ride into corners, etc.
· Messed-up training&lsqauo;a horse that was a victim of poor or abusive
training early in life and, as a result, has serious training issues. Such
as: a barrel horse that won't go in the arena gate and runs off with rider;
a rope horse that will not take the right lead, a team-penning horse that¹s
anxious and throwing his head.
If you think your horse and you have what it takesŠ
