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.
