Poncha Springs, CO -- (June 23, 2008) Horse Master with Julie Goodnight—in an episode featuring Nashville artist Templeton Thompson—wins a 2008 Telly Award. Goodnight’s show, starring Goodnight, produced and directed by Heidi Nyland, and edited by Bo Roberts of HorseCity.com, was one of over 14,000 entries from all 50 states and around the world. Less than 25 percent of entrants earn an award.
