PONCHA SPRINGS, Colo. February 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? Julie Goodnight to the rescue. 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 . . .

Trailering Safety with Leg Wraps
Protecting your horse’s leg during trailering or shipping is cheap insurance. As a hose rides in a trailer, there are constant challenges to his balance and on occasion he may lose his footing and step on himself or get stepped on by another horse. To protect your horse’s legs, you can use quilts and polo wraps or protective shipping boots made specifically for the purpose. Whichever kind of protection you use, make sure there is padding, so as not to restrict the horse’s circulation and that the wraps come down low, covering the coronary band. This delicate area at the top of the hoof is easily damaged when the horse trips or steps on himself; by covering it with the wrap or boot, it protects this sensitive area from damage.
--Julie Goodnight

BOISE, Idaho, February 14, 2009­— The Horse Affairs expo trots into Boise this weekend, February 20-22, 2009, at Expo Idaho. 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 Horse Affairs event, Goodnight presents the following clinics and presentations:
Friday:
Life Lessons that Horses Teach Us; De-Spook Your Horse
Saturday:
Build Your Confidence with Horses; Cinchy & Headshy: how to desensitize your horse
Sunday:
Canter with Confidence; The Communicative Behavior of Horses

More about the show:
Admission: Adults 18+ - $10.00; Students 13-17 - $5.00; Children under 5 - Free (limit of three kids); Three Day Pass - $25.00. Call (888) 684-5172 or (208) 362-4343 for more information.

Gather your friends and load up your horses for the first-ever QuarterFest: A Celebration of the American Quarter Horse. This one-of-a-kind event, May 1-3 in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, will be a chance to cure your cabin fever and revel in the arrival of spring with your horse.

QuarterFest is a tribute to everyone’s favorite animal – the American Quarter Horse. This year, our membership turns 68. While that may not sound like a landmark, you might feel otherwise if it was your 68th and no one had thrown you a party on any of the prior 67.  To make up for it, we’re going to throw America’s Horse one heck of a shindig – so big it will last for three days!

The party is going to be at the Tennessee Miller Equestrian Center at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, Tennessee (see the facility at www.aqha.com/quarterfest).

“We see this as a great way to kick off the summer riding season,” said Tom Persechino, AQHA executive director of marketing and communications. “The Murfreesboro facility is close to nearby trails, so we’re looking at offering trail rides, trail trial competitions and American Quarter Horse test rides.”

We’ll have clinics all weekend long, with four of AQHA’s Professional Horsemen and -women: Curt and Tammy Pate, a husband and wife from Newell, South Dakota; Jeff Griffith of Gallatin Gateway, Montana; and Julie Goodnight of Salida, Colorado. You can bring your horse and participate for $15 per clinic in addition to gate admission.

We’ll have an exciting performance each afternoon, and an all-star American Quarter Horse Extravaganza on Friday and Saturday nights.

There will be seminars, demonstrations, contests and a dedicated youth area to make it fun for everyone. Some of the greatest American Quarter Horses and world champion horsemen and -women will be there to greet everyone.

And perhaps most importantly, AQHA will be kicking off its new conservation division. Taking an active role in preserving access to places to ride, upholding the traditions of horse ownership and enjoyment in America, and educating horsemen on building, preserving and behaving properly on trails is critical to our breed and members. The conservation section will give our members the industry leadership expected from AQHA in this crucial area.

Come to learn. Come to make friends. Come for the entertainment. But most of all, come to honor your horse. Details and reserve tickets will be available online soon at www.aqha.com/quarterfest. If you’re an AQHA member, you’ll be eligible for reduced admission at QuarterFest. So make plans now.

PONCHA SPRINGS, Colo. February 14, 2009—See television horse training host Julie Goodnight as she travels to St Croix, Wisconsin (near the Twin Cities) during her 2009 Clinic Tour. Goodnight presents a two-day horsemanship intensive at RNR Ranch & Tack May 9-10, 2009 (riding spots still available). If you’re a horse lover or a dedicated equestrian, you’ll see horses in action and leave with invaluable horse training and care advice. Log on or call now to reserve your audience tickets or reserve a spot to ride with Goodnight: http://juliegoodnight.com/clinicreg.html  or call (800) 225-8827.

Each of Goodnight’s two-day Clinic Tours provides an opportunity for horse owners to ride with Goodnight and learn her “Classic Skills for a Natural Ride” techniques (improving classic horsemanship skills and learning to be their horses’ leaders through natural horsemanship techniques). Audiences are also invited—to watch and learn in a friendly environment for a nominal cost. Clinics are open to 10-15 riders ($400 per horse and rider pair) and unlimited audiences ($20 pre-order or $25 adult tickets at the door; $10 for youths 18 and under at the door). Group rates available.

“I’m really excited about all the great places my Clinic Tour will take me this year!” Goodnight says. “In addition to many of my favorite sites. I’ve had requests for clinics from very enthusiastic riders and I am eager to work with the many horses and riders I’ll meet across the country. The Clinic Tour is a great opportunity for me to work up-close and personal with riders and their mounts. I love helping riders achieve their goals and have a more satisfying relationship with their horse. The sense of accomplishment and satisfaction they feel at the end of a clinic is all the thanks I need!”

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.

For each Clinic Tour:
Day 1: Groundwork and relationship building; analysis of riding position and training issues
Day 2: Advanced ground work; refinement of riding skills, cueing and advanced maneuvers

Ride with Julie: Julie's clinics are informative and personal. At each clinic, you'll have the opportunity to work with your horse under Julie's close supervision. You'll get the one-on-one attention you want to help you achieve your riding goals or overcome obstacles. Pre-registration is required. Bring your horse and work with Julie to improve your horsemanship. Stabling is available for a nominal fee; school horses are available at some clinic locales. Register to Ride with Julie now at http://juliegoodnight.com/clinicreg.html  or call (800) 225-8827 for more information and advice.

Be in the Audience: This is the best way to gain valuable, see-it-for-yourself training skills at an affordable cost. Don't have a horse? Spectators get the same personal attention and are included in the clinic. You'll be welcome to ask questions and get clarification then take the new info home to work with your horse. Come to watch, learn and network. Clinics run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday and Sunday. Bring a chair, a notebook and all your questions. Lunch is available on site.

I love helping riders achieve their goals and have a more satisfying relationship with their horse. The sense of accomplishment and satisfaction they feel at the end of a clinic is all the thanks I need!”

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.

For each Clinic Tour:
Day 1: Groundwork and relationship building; analysis of riding position and training issues
Day 2: Advanced ground work; refinement of riding skills, cueing and advanced maneuvers

Ride with Julie: Julie's clinics are informative and personal. At each clinic, you'll have the opportunity to work with your horse under Julie's close supervision. You'll get the one-on-one attention you want to help you achieve your riding goals or overcome obstacles. Pre-registration is required. Bring your horse and work with Julie to improve your horsemanship. Stabling is available for a nominal fee; school horses are available at some clinic locales. Register to Ride with Julie now at http://juliegoodnight.com/clinicreg.html  or call (800) 225-8827 for more information and advice.

Be in the Audience: This is the best way to gain valuable, see-it-for-yourself training skills at an affordable cost. Don't have a horse? Spectators get the same personal attention and are included in the clinic. You'll be welcome to ask questions and get clarification then take the new info home to work with your horse. Come to watch, learn and network. Clinics run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday and Sunday. Bring a chair, a notebook and all your questions. Lunch is available on site.

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.
