"I am a big believer in the work that CTRC does and in giving back to the community whenever I can,” Goodnight says. “I've enjoyed working with CTRC in the past to provide education to their staff, volunteers and to horse owners in the community. This will be a special event that not only provides information to horse owners but also draws attention to the important
work that CTRC does. I hope you will all join me on May 12th at Triple Creek Ranch for an educational event that benefits this important program!"
Goodnight’s four training demonstrations begin at 9:00 am and end approximately at 5:00 pm. At the event, you can shop for training gear and DVDs, have lunch at the Triple Creek Ranch Café, and enjoy time to meet Goodnight and ask about your own horse.
