Equine Affaire: The Tradition Continues in California
At Equine Affaire you can learn from the world’s best equine professionals
and immerse yourself in everything equine for four full days!

London, OH (November 26, 2010) – It’s not often that World and National Champion competitors from disciplines as diverse as reining, endurance, dressage, reined cow horse, jumping, driving, and gaited horse competition as well as renowned trainers and TV personalities from other walks of horselife gather in one location to share their secrets. Even less often comes the chance to soak up a whole lot of information and advice from these leading equine professionals, shop one of the finest equine-related trade shows in the nation, and witness the thrills of Craig Cameron’s Extreme Cowboy Race for what you’d spend on a meal at a local family restaurant.  
 
Equine Affaire—North America’s most successful and most enduring all-breed, all-discipline equine expo—returns to Fairplex in Pomona, CA, Thursday–Sunday, February 3rd through the 6th. Just $16 gets you an all-access daily ticket to the event, admission for kids age 7–11 is just $10, and tots aged 6 and under get in for free. Multi-day passes are also available and offer savings from the single-day admission rates.
 
We suggest that you arrive early—doors open at 9:00 a.m.—because you’re going to want to plan your visit around Equine Affaire’s 150-plus educational sessions that will be presented in the Pfizer Arena and four other venues at the show. In 2011, Equine Affaire is proud to once again feature a blend of top-notch clinicians and presenters that will represent a broad spectrum of equestrian disciplines at their highest levels and ensure the presentation of a wide range of horse-training techniques and philosophies. Equine Affaire’s star-studded lineup of “general” horse trainers will include Julie Goodnight.
 
Julie Goodnight is a full-time equine professional with more than 25 years of equestrian experience in disciplines ranging from dressage and jumping to racing, reining, colt-starting and wilderness riding. Ms. Goodnight regularly shares her insight through articles in leading equine publications, clinics nationwide, and her weekly television show, “Horse Master” on RFD-TV.
A World of Horses in Equine Affaire’s Breed Pavilion
Whether your heart beats faster for an Andalusian or a mustang, a competitive mount or a pleasure horse, you’ll find it at Equine Affaire—along with friendly, knowledgeable horse breeders and representatives who’ll answer your questions about characteristics, uses, bloodlines, and horse selection. The Breed Pavilion will showcase dozens of breeds of horses from North America and beyond including such diverse breeds as Appaloosas, Lusitanos, Friesians, Lippizans, Paso Finos, Saddlebreds, burros, miniature horses, Tennessee walking horses, Shetland ponies, and more.
 
A Special Place for Trail Riding Enthusiasts
With retail and educational exhibits and a comprehensive program of demos on topics relating to trail riding and trail use, Equine Affaire’s Trail Riding Pavilion will provide everything you need to enhance your trail riding experience! Whether you want to shop for a camper, research public trails, garner tips on trail riding safety, join a trail riding club, purchase a portable corral, or learn how to set up camp, the Trail Riding Pavilion will be the place to prepare you and your horse to “hit the trail.”
 
Bring Your Horse with You to Equine Affaire  
At Equine Affaire you may “Ride with the Best” in clinics on general horse training topics; clinics on disciplines ranging from reining, reined cow horse, and western pleasure to dressage, jumping, driving; and clinics on breed-related topics such as training mules and easy-gaited horses. Most of the clinicians presenting at the 2011 Equine Affaire will be accepting horses and riders to participate in their sessions, and clinic fees are remarkably reasonable. If you’d like to do more than just spectate, visit www.equineaffaire.com for details on Equine Affaire’s Ride With The Best program and how you and your horse can participate. Clinics are filling quickly, so don’t delay!
 
Horses and riders with the right stuff may also enter to compete in Craig Cameron’s exciting Extreme Cowboy Race, a timed and judged race through a challenging obstacle course that’s designed to test your all-around equestrian savvy and horsemanship skills. At stake are $4,250 in cash and other prizes and the title of Extreme Cowboy Race Champion. Qualifying rounds will be held on Thursday and Friday evenings…and the race finals will be on Saturday night. Thirty horse and rider teams will be selected by Craig Cameron to compete in the 2011 Extreme Cowboy Race—an event which has packed the stands with enthusiastic crowds at previous Equine Affaires. If you’re ready to put your skills to the test, check out race details at www.equineaffaire.com <http://www.equineaffaire.com/> and get your application in by December 7th.  
 
Convenient, One-Stop Shopping
What’s a horse fest without shopping? Lace up your most comfortable shoes and be prepared to wander through Equine Affaire’s extensive trade show in five exhibit halls and the areas in between. This year’s event will feature more than 400 vendors offering everything from tack and apparel to horse-care items and trailers. Whether you’re planning to build a barn, replace a fence, or install a riding arena or you’re shopping for new tack, attire, artwork or DVDs, you’ll find information, manufacturers, dealers, and other sources at Equine Affaire.
 
Equine Affaire 2011: A Great Value for Horse Lovers!
You can enjoy all that Equine Affaire has to offer—the clinics and seminars, the shopping, the specialty pavilions, and Craig Cameron’s Extreme Cowboy Race in the evening for the price of a single-day or multi-day general admission ticket. Adult admission is only $16/day and youth (age 7-10) tickets are only $10. Adult admission will include a free souvenir program that will serve as your event 411—everything you need to know to make the most of your visit.  
 
If one day at Equine Affaire is good, then more are certainly better. Choose from “The Weekender” three-day (Fri-Sat-Sun) ticket for just $40 (adults) or $25 (kids) or “The Eventer,” a four-day ticket for $50 (adults) or $30 (kids). For adults, that’s a savings of $8 or $14 per person over the daily rate.
 
Round up your horse-loving friends and barn mates and make a getaway of it. Equine Affaire makes your trip even more affordable with special room blocks and discount rates at several area hotels. You can also camp with full hookups and a pool at the Fairplex KOA right across the street from the event grounds.  
 
No doubt about it: If you love horses, you can’t afford to miss the 2011 Equine Affaire.  The show will have plenty to offer to horsepeople of all disciplines and levels—from 4-H riders and those who are just getting started in the horse world to accomplished equestrians and equine professionals.
 
Valued Sponsors Who Make it All Possible
Equine Affaire’s popular program of educational activities and entertainment are made possible through generous sponsorships by dozens of equine-related companies and organizations. We all extend our gratitude to Pfizer Animal Health, Farnam, Carson Trailer, All American Trailers, and the many other companies who have endorsed the educational mission of Equine Affaire through their sponsorships.  
 
Everything You Need to Know to Go
Equine Affaire’s brand new Web site (www.equineaffaire.com) contains everything you need to know to make your visit a fun and successful one: admission details, directions, hotel listings, the complete roster of presenters, daily schedules, maps, Ride With The Best and Extreme Cowboy Race materials, facility information, and tips for making the most of your Equine Affaire experience. You can order advance tickets online or through the mail (through January 7th). If you’re not Web-savvy, not to worry: call Equine Affaire at (740) 845-0085 and speak to a member of our friendly, horse-loving staff, Monday-Friday 9:00am-5:00pm Eastern. We encourage you to make your hotel reservations soon as room blocks and special rates at our host hotels will expire in January.
 
We look forward to seeing you at the 2011 Equine Affaire in Pomona, CA, February 3–6!

REDMOND, UT, November 2, 2010– Julie Goodnight (Host of Horse Master on RFD-TV) recommends the all-natural Redmond Rock™ salt lick and Redmond Daily Red™ top dressing to help horses get the salt and minerals they need to stay healthy and to keep drinking water in any season or temperature. New to the equine market, but well established with Real Salt™ for table use, Redmond Minerals, Inc. offers all-natural sea salt and minerals.
 
“Because I’ve used Redmond’s Real Salt™ in my kitchen for years, I was thrilled to discover that the same trace mineral sea salt is now available for horses—both in a granulated top-dress   and a natural rock for licking,” Goodnight says. “Both products are harvested from an underground source in southern Utah—a huge deposit of salt left there from the evaporation of an ancient and pristine sea. Now, all of my horses have free-choice access to a Redmond Rock salt lick. Its naturally irregular shape is much more appealing than a chemically processed and hardened brick. When my horses are on the road, I prefer to use Daily Red, a granulated form added to the feed, that way, I insure my horses are getting the right balance of salt. With the added stress of traveling, I feel it is critical to my horse’s hydration and over-all vitality, as well as insuring a rapid recovery from strenuous exercise.”
 
Founded in 1959, Redmond Minerals, Inc., is a national leader in natural salt and minerals. Now, the company is thrilled to introduce its natural product to the equine world and to work with Goodnight to spread the word about natural salt benefits.
 
“The benefits of the natural minerals in Redmond Rock are tremendous,” says Mike Mumford, Redmond Equine sales manager and endurance rider. “Our customers tell us Redmond Rock has helped prevent colic in their horses while improving their appetites. Redmond Rock effectively replenishes minerals and electrolytes the horse has lost. By feeding him Redmond Rock free choice, you are allowing your horse to self manage the amount of salt and trace minerals he needs. He’ll go back to the rock as often as necessary.”
 
Need more reasons to provide salt? Goodnight says that “salt is a necessary and vital ingredient in a horse’s diet; it’s critical for strong bones, high energy levels and strong muscles. Salt intake is related to good hydration since a horse will increase his water intake when his salt intake increases, and good hydration is vital to good health,” she says. “The important balance of salt, trace minerals and water is critical to good health and good performance. The Redmond salt is unprocessed and pure-- no chemicals added and from a time before modern toxins polluted the sea. Since a horse’s senses are much keener than ours, it makes sense to me that an all-natural product will be more appealing and therefore lead to greater consumption and better hydration.”
 
NEW Products:
Redmond Rock™
Mined 300 feet below the earth’s surface from an ancient mineral deposit in central Utah, Redmond Rock is a natural sea salt containing more than 60 trace minerals. In comparison to other pressed mineral blocks available on the market, Redmond Rock offers a full array of minerals with a natural shape and taste that horses love. Redmond Rock is an excellent source of essential minerals and sea salt–vital components missing from many natural forages.
 
Daily Red™
Redmond Daily Red is a granular form of our Redmond Rock designed for horses that prefer receiving their supplements in their daily feed ration. Daily Red provides all the natural trace minerals and electrolytes found in Redmond Rock and is perfect for your horse's diet during periods of hard work or activity when good hydration is critical. Some horses like their mineral licks too much and will chew or bite free choice mineral salt. Daily Red brand natural minerals provide a perfect amount and totally natural blend of essential trace minerals and electrolytes your horse needs to live a more healthy, balanced life just as nature intended. Just like Redmond Rock, Daily Red is a natural mineral sea salt harvested from deep within the earth in Southern Utah. Daily Red contains more than 60 beneficial trace minerals.

PONCHA SPRINGS, Colo. November/December 2010— Have you ever had an ad drop out at the last moment—or a space that didn’t sell before printing deadline? Julie Goodnight—known for her “classic skills for a natural ride” clinics, her clear communication in print, and her RFD-TV show, Horse Master with Julie Goodnight—provides a tip each month for use when you need just a little more content. Tips may be edited for style, length and content. Content is provided free of charge with attribution. Here are two new tips to help you when you’re in a layout crunch . . .
 
Winter Dehydration
Like people, horses will sometimes not drink adequately in very cold weather, which can lead to a chronic state of dehydration and exacerbate other more serious conditions like colic and illness. Horses should be monitored when possible for how much water they are consuming on a daily basis (automatic waterers and group pens make this difficult, if not impossible). To make sure your horses are drinking adequately in cold weather, you can add a handful of loose salt to their grain. This is a good way to stimulate thirst and to force the intake of salt. --Julie Goodnight

Defining the Half-halt
This is a term that is frequently bandied about but seldom defined. Although the term is used more frequently in English lessons, it is a technique that is used in all styles of riding. A half-halt is a momentary application of all three primary natural aids-- the seat, legs and hands, the purpose of which is to rebalance the horse and rock his weight back onto his haunches a little more. A horse naturally carries about 55% of his weight on his forehand, yet his power and athleticism comes from his hindquarters. By momentarily applying all the aids: engaging your seat bones, putting leg on the horse and at the same time checking back with the reins, the horse will rebalance himself and shift his weight back on his haunches. A half-halt might be executed to slow a horse down, shorten or lengthen his stride, collect him or prepare him for a more difficult maneuver like a flying lead change. --Julie Goodnight

QUEEN CREEK, Arizona, October 8, 2010: Popular horse training expert Julie Goodnight (http://www.juliegoodnight.com and http://www.horsemaster.tv) will tape 8 episodes of her horse training television show, Horse Master in Queen Creek, AZ (just south of Phoenix) at the Horseshoe Park & Equestrian Centre in January 2011.

Goodnight, based in Salida, Colorado, travels frequently to tape episodes for her weekly show--which won Telly and Aegis production awards. In 2009, Goodnight and her crew (producer Heidi Nyland of The Whole Picture, LLC, and videographer and editor Steve Schott of 12Basket Productions, to name a few) taped 6 episodes at the same facility and were thrilled with the amenities and the scenic views.

Goodnight says, "I was totally impressed with the facility—seems like every detail was considered and it is well-designed and well-crafted. What a great asset for your community! Not only will numerous people enjoy the events that happen there, but seeing all the local riders in the community arena each evening was really heart-warming. It was obvious that they appreciated having a nice place to ride and also being able to visit with neighbors. The staff at the equestrian center was so good to us and obviously took great pride in the facility. Everyone made us feel welcomed and it left us with a very good feeling about the folks in Queen Creek."

NARHA National Conference a Premier Event in EAAT

Denver—The NARHA National Conference is a premier event in the equine-assisted activities and therapies (EAAT) industry. The 2010 conference, November 3-6 in Denver, Colorado, features an impressive array of educational sessions presented by industry experts. The Horse Expo on Saturday and the Friday keynote luncheon have been perennial highlights. This year, Julie Goodnight will present the opening session at the Horse Expo on avoiding and correcting burnout in your horses. Julie is the star of the award-winning TV show “Horse Master.” Friday’s luncheon speaker is Bubba Gilliam, who played the memorable Lyle in Mel Brooks’ comedy Blazing Saddles.
 
Attendees to the conference will also enjoy the many opportunities to catch up with old friends at social receptions, such as the “ski lodge” themed exhibit hall, or the Getting to Know You reception, which boasts a Native American theme. The conference concludes with the NARHA Awards Banquet, where we celebrate and honor the equestrians, equines, instructors and volunteers who make a world of difference in EAAT.
 
The workshops, demonstrations and sessions will give you many “take-home” tips as you learn the benefits of therapeutic riding on the social skills of children with autism spectrum or leveraging the latest technology for EAAT. Learn how to design a themed obstacle course or how to create a camp program. An exciting session will be presented by Theresa Chase, a clinical nurse specialist at Craig Hospital in Denver, who will talk about the development of an in-patient EAAT pilot project for spinal cord injury patients.
 
Early bird registration for the conference ends September 6, so register early and save money to finish up some Christmas shopping at the silent auction or the NARHA merchandise booth. To register for the conference, visit www.narha.org <http://www.narha.org/>  and click on conference.

About NARHA:
NARHA, formerly the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association,  was formed in 1969 to promote equine-assisted activities and therapies for individuals with special needs.  At over 700 member centers, a total of 42,000 children and adults find a sense of independence through involvement with horses.
