SALIDA, Colo., June 3, 2009: To kick off a summer of riding, watch brand-new episodes of Horse Master with Julie Goodnight, shot at Arizona’s Queen Creek Equestrian Centre and South Carolina’s Camelot Farms and covering topics such as herd and barn sour horses, speed control, using the emergency pulley rein, and taking control of a horse who escapes each time he’s longed.
Goodnight’s first student is a horse that throws a fit whenever the herd leaves her alone with her rider. Goodnight demonstrates how to quickly put an end to this game playing. Next up, you’ll see a horse that thinks he sets the pace and the tempo. Unbeknownst to his rider, she’s reinforcing this behavior by sending him the wrong message. As a precaution, Goodnight also explains the emergency stopping rein aid. Then watch Goodnight show a young rider, who’s just learning how to jump and yearns to get it right, the correct way to set up trotting and cantering poles.
Horse Master’s RFD-TV episodes air every Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. EST (with encores airing Thursday and Saturday nights) on Direct TV channel 345, Dish Network channel 231 as well as cable outlets. See the expanded schedule below.

Bitting issues: For the September, 2009 shoot to be held in Salida, Colorado, Goodnight will break from the usual form and work specifically with horses with bit issues. She’s looking for riders with horses that have control problems under saddle for either a lack of training or poor training or riding. For example, they may toss their heads, root on the reins, throw their heads up or take hold of the bit and run off. Also, Goodnight’s looking for high-level dressage or reining horses that won’t round up into a collected frame and that resist any pressure from the rider's hands or that gape open the mouth. Dale Myler, of Myler Bits®, will be joining Goodnight as guest host. By switching bits and learning to ride with new tack, the training team will help solve aggravating problems.
Horse Shopping? In addition, Goodnight’s planning a horse-buying series and will help a potential buyer through the selection process. To qualify for this incredible opportunity, you should be an adult intermediate to advanced rider who is looking for a reliable pleasure mount in the $10,000 price range. Perhaps a previous experience made you lose your confidence and realize how valuable a well-trained and bomb-proof horse is. So now you’re looking for a horse that you can take lessons and go to clinics on, possibly learn a new discipline, maybe even do some low-key showing at some point. But primarily you will use this horse to pleasure and trail ride. If you're interested in being our horse buyer, please apply using the application at http://www.horsemaster.juliegoodnight.com/apply.html, and also e-mail Julie Goodnight and tell her why you'd be the perfect horse buyer: horsemaster@juliegoodnight.com
