PONCHA SPRINGS, Colo. October 17, 2008- 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 . . .
Set Up For Success: set up cones to help you plan transitions
There’s an old saying in horsemanship: “All of training occurs in transitions.” A transition occurs any time you ask your horse to speed up or slow down—it is in the asking and your horse’s compliance that the training occurs. Be precise with your transitions and try to execute them at a specific place. I like to keep markers set up around my arena, using cones or brightly colored duct tape on the fence, marking the mid-point on each side, as well as quarter marks on the long sides. This way, I can execute my upward and downward transitions right on the marks and learn more about my horse’s preparation/response time and how precisely he follows my cues. Remember, practice does not make perfect—only perfect practice makes perfect!
