kimberly@horsecapitalproductions.com
Lexington, KY – Best known for her award-winning reality television show Horse Master, airing weekly on RFD-TV, trainer and clinician Julie Goodnight has signed on as an official sponsor of the International Equestrian Festival (IEF) and will present clinics daily in downtown Lexington, KY, September 25-October 10, 2010. Horse Capital Productions, a Lexington-based company, is producing the event. Goodnight has prepared a full curriculum of horse training topics to cover and demonstrate daily as part of the Kentucky Horse Council’s First Time Owner seminar series to be held at IEF. She will also be on hand daily to answer questions and help horse lovers learn about her full line of tack, training DVDs, and wares in her extensive shopping area, “Goodnight Village,” which includes Kestar Boots and Circle Y Saddles, among others.
Horse Master with Julie Goodnight is a popular program airing on RFD-TV in which Goodnight helps horse owners to “makeover” their relationship with their horses and solve specific behavior and riding-related tasks. During her 25-year career in the horse industry, she has developed expertise in multiple disciplines, including dressage, racing, jumping, reining, driving and colt-starting. She grew up riding on Florida’s hunter-jumper circuit then exercised race horses on the track while working through college in Arizona then stayed out West to lead wilderness rides and finally began combining all to form her unique brand of natural horsemanship and classic riding training.
In addition to her television work, Goodnight teaches numerous clinics ( focusing on “Classic Skills for a Natural Ride”) across the country, as well as writing columns that appear in many regional publications throughout North America. Goodnight’s training techniques are featured regularly in Horse & Rider (where she’s a member of Team Horse & Rider) and The Trail Rider.
Goodnight also serves as the International Spokesperson for the Certified Horse Association. In 2008, she was named Equine Affaire’s Exceptional Equestrian Educator—one of only three to ever receive the award.
"We are excited to be a part of the expansion of the Julie Goodnight brand at the International Equestrian Festival. She is an icon in equestrian education and she has a massive fan following. With her educational techniques and the Goodnight Village on board, we know we have all the right tools to meet the goals of the ‘up and coming’ rider in a way they've never had access to before,” stated Anne Buchanan, CEO of Horse Capital Productions.
Goodnight will present daily during the 16-day festival.
“I’m really looking forward to working together with the IEF and the Kentucky Horse Council to offer educational programs to horse owners and to the diverse crowd of horse enthusiasts during the World Games,” Goodnight says. “It’s a unique opportunity and I am thrilled to be a part if it!
Horse Capital Productions also supports the Kentucky Horse Council, a nonprofit organization dedicated, through education, to the protection, growth and development of the equine industry in Kentucky.

Merry Christmas!!!
In keeping with our holiday tradition, we got up early, Rich headed for work at the ski area before the sun was up, and I fed horses and made my special breakfast. After 15 years of hauling breakfast up the mountain, I have gotten pretty good at it, honing my timing and packaging so that I arrive at Rich's office, 15 miles away at 10,800 feet of altitude with the eggs and sweet rolls still steaming hot. Yum.
Maybe you're wondering what my special breakfast is? It is particularly delectable and surprisingly easy to make. And so stock full of calories that you are prohibited from eating it more than once a year. My special Christmas breakfast consists of three dishes: fruit salad, egg and ham cups and gooey sweet rolls. Recipes follow-- maybe you should make it for New Years Day!
Fruit salad: sectioned pink grapefruit (buy it in the jars to save a lot of hassle), sliced bananas and as many fresh berries as you can buy this time of year, preferably strawberries, blue berries and raspberries. I sprinkle on some Splenda or sugar to sweeten just a little.
Egg and ham cups: start with Honey Baked ham and line greased muffin cups with the ham. Then crack an egg in each hole, add a dab of butter and pepper and bake at 400* for about 15 minutes until the eggs are cooked to your desired hardness or softness.
Gooey sweet rolls: mix a stick of softened butter with about a cup of brown sugar and a touch of cinnamon. Open a package of refridgerator crescent rolls and knit all the seams of the dough together so you have one solid rectangle of dough. Spread butter/brown sugar mixture evenly over dough and roll it up from one end. Slice off about a 1" roll and place in a pan (fairly close together) and bake at 400* for about the same time as the egg and ham cups-- until golden brown. Remove from pan with a spatula so you get all the goo.
This traditional breakfast harkens back to my childhood and the big extended-family xmas breakfasts we had every year. It is a great meal for groups small and large and easy to serve. Normally I enjoy it with mimosas but having to drive up the pass to the ski area means I take my OJ straight up.
I would be less-than-honest if I said it was a beautiful day for skiing. It's below zero with a huge wind chill and blowing snow. I may opt out of skiing and head back home for some cozy time. Later today, Rich and I will go visit my son and take gifts and food and be thankful that we are all together this Christmas.
I hope you have some peace and quiet and happy times with friends and family this holiday season.
Enjoy the ride,
Julie

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 . . .
Keep your saddle pad in top shape
While hanging saddle pads upside down to dry and air out may keep your tack room from getting stinky, it does not do much for the shape of your pad. Your saddle pad needs to break-in and conform to the shape of your horse’s back. If you leave it to dry upside down, the pad is taking the opposite shape of how it will sit on the horse’s back. I use a saddle pad rack that will hold the pad in its ‘using’ shape and allow air to circulate underneath it. This way, the pad will keep its shape and be more comfortable for your horse.

AHP Newsgroup: Horse & Rider Magazine Announces Wrangler Ultimate Ride Sweepstakes Winner
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Winner’s photo available upon request by emailing Kate.Lindon@EquiNetwork.com <mailto:Kate.Lindon@EquiNetwork.com>
Horse & Rider Magazine Announces Wrangler® Ultimate Ride Sweepstakes Winner
LAKE DALLAS, TEXAS, December 2, 2009 – Renee Twombly of Auburn, Ala., has been selected as the grand-prize winner of Horse & Rider magazine’s Wrangler® <http://www.wrangler.com/WRG_WESTERN_STORE_US/index.html> Ultimate Ride Sweepstakes.
To enter for a chance to win, visitors posted pictures or videos of themselves at www.HorseandRider.com/UltimateRide <http://www.horseandrider.com/UltimateRide> enjoying life on horseback. Twombly shared a picture of a ride in the Canadian Rockies that she took with her sister in 2008.
Twombly won a trip to Leatherwood Mountains, Blue Ridge Mountain Resort <http://www.leatherwoodmountains.com/> in North Carolina, where she and her sister rode the trails, enjoyed bluegrass music and fine dining and took part in a clinic with Julie Goodnight. They will be featured in early 2010 on a special episode of the weekly television series "Best of America by Horseback" <http://www.bestofamericabyhorseback.com/> on RFD-TV.
“I lived in North Carolina for 10 years but was never able to ride in the western mountains of that beautiful state. I couldn’t believe how gorgeous and horse-and-people-friendly the Leatherwood Mountains community is,” said Twombly, who trail rides with her American Quarter Horse mare, Miss Artistic Star (“Chime”). “I find little to be more relaxing than to explore on a horse—to be present in nature on horseback.”
Weekly winners of the sweepstakes received a pair of jeans from the Ultimate Riding Jean Collection from Wrangler®. Those winners were Megan Nikolai, Bob Pugliese, Katharine Stroukoff, Wendy Hall, Rochelle Hundt, Vicki Kruegel, Michelle Johnson, Teresa Wisniewski, Karen Hartman, Denise King, Tarra Betts and Dolly Loveridge.

Horse & Rider provides horse owners with the expert advice they seek through how-to articles from Team Horse & Rider—12 renowned experts in the Western arena, including Julie Goodnight—and from other top trainers, veterinarians and horse behaviorists. The magazine's mission is to create a positive difference in the lives of goal-oriented horse owners who strive for excellence in riding, training and caring for their animals.
