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.

SENATE PASSES NATIONAL DAY OF THE AMERICAN COWBOY RESOLUTION
The American Horse Council is pleased the U.S. Senate yesterday passed a resolution honoring the American cowboy. The resolution, introduced by U.S. Senator Mike Enzi of Wyoming, designates Saturday, July 25, 2008 as “National Day of the Cowboy.”
The bill pays tribute to the enduring legacy of the cowboy in America and the contributions cowboys continue to make to our nation today.
“I am happy the United States Senate is honoring such an enduring cultural icon of the American West that is irrevocably linked with the history of the horse in this country. It is important to remember the cowboy and the horse remain an important part of America still. This resolution recognizes both the history and the continuing contribution of the American cowboy” said AHC President Jay Hickey.
A copy of the resolution is available on request.

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.

Be a Cast Member on Horse Master with Julie Goodnight:
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. If you're interested in being our horse buyer, please apply using the application at http://www.horsemaster.juliegoodnight.com/apply.html, and also e-mail Julie Goodnight and tell her why you'd be the perfect horse buyer: horsemaster@juliegoodnight.com
