LINCOLN, Nebraska, February 14, 2009­— The Nebraska Horse Expo trots into Lincoln March 13-15, 2009, at the Lancaster Event 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.

At the 2009 Nebraska Horse Expo, Goodnight presents the following clinics and presentations:
Sunday: Natural Ride: balance and position and using your natural aids for better communication and control; Advancing Your Horsemanship: advanced use of the aids for collection, lateral movements and smooth canter departures; Build Your Confidence lecture.
