PONCHA SPRINGS, Colo. May 1, 2008
— Julie Goodnight (of Poncha Springs, Colroado) and Heidi Nyland (of Longmont, Colorado) won a 2008 Aegis Finalist Award for production of a 28-minute episode of Goodnight’s television show, Horse Master (airing on RFD-TV each Wednesday at 5:30 EST). The Aegis Awards are the video industry's premier competition for peer recognition of outstanding video productions and non-network TV commercials.
"Horse Master with Julie Goodnight" was honored in the "Training / Education" category for its outstanding production quality by a distinguished panel of judges representing industry professionals from around the country. The episode entitled “The Next Level,” showing longtime rider Sharon Gilbert (getting in shape after her recent surgery) and her horse Manassis (a dressage horse trained to the fourth-level) featured Goodnight teaching Gilbert to ride with collection and improve daily workouts in preparation for show season. The episode was filmed during the show’s premiere filming at Meadow Creek Farms in Longmont, Colorado. The episode is one of 24 Horse Master with Julie Goodnight episodes that began airing January 2, 2008.
A DVD of the entire Longmont, Colorado filming (including five episodes and bonus Quick Tips) is now available for $29.95 at http://juliegoodnight.com/products.html
