PONCHA SPRINGS, Colo. November 17, 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? It’s Julie Goodnight and www.juliegoodnight.com to the rescue. Check out the newest addition to Goodnight’s online “Training Library” here and read more about training online (found with a quick link at the top of www.juliegoodnight.com <http://www.juliegoodnight.com> ). 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 . . .
Tip for Clippers
There are many stimuli that can cause a horse to be anxious and fearful about the clippers—the sound, the smell, the vibration, even the cord laying on the ground like a snake. When desensitizing a horse to clippers, try to isolate each stimulus so that the horse can get used to them one at a time. For instance, if you have to use clippers with a cord, let him see and get comfortable with the cord moving on the ground before anything else. Then let him smell and feel the clippers before turning them on. Then let him get used to the sound of the clippers before he feels the vibrating touch. Be sure to only advance the stimulus so far—only as far as causes the horse to tense, then wait for the horse to relax, before removing the stimulus. By only removing the stimulus when the horse relaxes, you are training him to relax whenever he sees/hears/smells the clippers. If you remove the clippers while he is tensing—that’s what you are training him to do.

CIRCLE Y SADDLES RELEASES JULIE GOODNIGHT PEAK PERFORMANCE SADDLE LINE
YOAKUM, Texas (November 11, 2009): Circle Y Saddles, Inc., America’s Leading Saddle Brand, and world renowned clinician Julie Goodnight have collaborated to design her exclusive five-saddle Peak Performance™ line. With each saddle personally ridden by Goodnight, these saddles were designed to her specifications and riding requirements.
Because Goodnight rides several different Western disciplines, there is a saddle designed for all types of work or pleasure. The 1470 Rocky Mountain High Performance saddle is designed for ranch work featuring a Kevlar® reinforced wood tree for superior strength and is the saddle Goodnight uses for Ranch Horse Versatility. The 1752 Monarch Arena Performance/Performance Trail model is Goodnight’s personal favorite for everyday use. It has a Flex2® tree and features specified by Goodnight to keep the horse and rider comfortable in the arena and out on the trail. The 1750 Wind River Trail has all the features of the Monarch but with a round skirt. The 1751 Blue Ridge Gaited Trail is designed for the gaited horse and has all the comfort features that are signature to the entire line. The 1560 Sierra Nevada Arena Performance is for the arena performance rider to keep you correct in the seat for precise cueing.
All Peak Performance™ saddles have a leather skirt liner with gel bar pads to keep your horse comfortable, Tunnel Skirt™ to eliminate pressure on the horse’s spine, close contact cut out skirts for precise cueing, and trees engineered to provide a great fit for the horse. To keep the rider comfortable is a padded seat with a narrow twist and broad seat pocket, pre-twisted stirrup leathers, and on the Flex2® models are Softee® seat jockeys and fenders for zero break-in. There is also matching tack and coordinating matching wool pads.
“Julie has added a whole new dimension to our Team of Champions. It is no accident that this new line of Peak Performance™ saddles, inspired by Julie Goodnight, all have state of the art features designed with the horse and rider in mind,” said Mark Jemelka, general manager of Circle Y Saddles.
Julie Goodnight is a world renowned clinician, natural horsemanship trainer, and host of RFD-TV’s Horse Master with Julie Goodnight. She has experience ranging from dressage and jumping to racing, reining, cutting, and wilderness riding. Her upbeat and logical style of teaching applies to her “Communicating Clearly with Horses and Riders” philosophy. Read more at www.juliegoodnight.com <http://www.juliegoodnight.com/> .
