QUEEN CREEK, Arizona, February 14, 2009: Have you seen Goodnight’s award-winning television show, Horse Master airing weekly on RFD-TV? Goodnight and the crew travels to Oregon June 30 - July 2, 2009 to shoot six show episodes—with English and Western topics. If you’d like to apply to work with Goodnight on the show please visit http://www.horsemaster.juliegoodnight.com/apply.html to find out more and to apply online. Goodnight looks for riders who want to polish their riding skills, work on a new task, or have a problem to overcome. With her varied background—growing up on the hunter-jumper circuit and now riding versatile ranch horses, Goodnight has the experience to work with any rider. She was named Equine Affaire’s Exceptional Equestrian Educator in 2008 during the Massachusetts expo.

Plus, Goodnight is looking for the perfect property where all six episodes will be filmed. Goodnight’s looking for a facility with an outdoor and indoor arena (or two outdoor arenas) as well as openings to house 6 horses during the week. The ideal locale will have pretty backdrops to show everyone how great horse life is in Oregon. The locale becomes part of the show as the crew shoots scenery and promotes the location. The location selected will get lots of mention and footage during the episodes that air in summer, 2009. If you know of a site near you that may be interested in hosting us, please e-mail horsemaster@juliegoodnight.com. Limited local commercial space is also available to allow Oregon businesses to promote their locale as the Oregon episodes air. Contact (800) 225-8827 to inquire.

If you’ve missed Horse Master with Julie Goodnight episodes, subscribe to the http://www.youtube.com/juliegoodnight channel and talk about the episodes on her blog. Visit http://www.horsemaster.juliegoodnight.com/episodes.html to see previews of the all new episodes that will air in 2009. The most recent episodes were taped on location at Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts and in Queen Creek, Arizona. Watch as Goodnight rides a horse into the surf for the horse’s first time. She also helps a young English rider learn the reining maneuvers that her Goodnight-trained Quarter Horse knows how to perform (the episode is featured in the January/February issue of America’s Horse with a cover reference), teaches a rider to feel when to post on her horse’s trotting diagonals, works with a mule who doesn’t want to trot on, helps a breeder prepare her young Friesian for breed evaluation, and helps a horse owner administer medications to a head-shy horse. In Arizona, Goodnight helped a horse owner overcome her horse’s trailering challenges, helped two off the track Thoroughbreds become well-trained and reliable family mounts, assisted a young rider as he learned to calm down his anxious Arabian show horse, helped a young breeder learn to introduce a saddle to her horse, and helped a rider learn what to do when her herd sour trail horse misbehaved.
