PONCHA SPRINGS, Colo. October 17, 2008—Julie Goodnight announces the third DVD in her “From the Ground” series—Bit Basics: Accepting and Responding to Bit Pressure, presented by Myler Bits USA. The 120-minute DVD is available at a special savings for pre-orders placed through October 31, 2008 and will be sent in early November 2008. The DVD is available for $34.95—a savings of $5 off the official price (MSRP $39.95). The DVD—in combination with the leather bitting equipment you need to teach your horse to give to bit pressure—is on sale for $59.95—a savings of $20 (MSRP $79.95) when you order at http://juliegoodnight.com/products in October.
Goodnight says that many horse owners have asked her about the right bits for their horses and how to introduce a bit properly—without pain for the horse. When used correctly, a bit helps riders communicate clear cues to their horse and achieve maneuvers and training difficult to teach. To answer the common bit questions, Goodnight planned an in-depth DVD training session. On the Bit Basics DVD, she works with a young filly that hadn’t previously had a bit in her mouth and a 13-year-old gelding that had learned to avoid bit pressure. The two horses show you what it takes to teach a bit to give to bit pressure from the start and how to rehab a horse with a traumatic past. By working with both horses, Goodnight demonstrates how to handle most any bit-related training problem. She explains how bits work, the equipment you’ll need and how to get started in your own training process.
Goodnight says “the young filly learned how to respond to lateral then vertical pressure on the bit. She ‘got it’ right away. I sent her home with a good start and she was light and responsive in the mouth. She also had her very own Myler snaffle to use as her training progresses. I also wanted to show how to use the same process on a broke horse with engrained bitting problems. The older horse had learned extreme tactics to avoid pressure on his mouth. He was hollowed his back, carried his head high, tossed his head, fought the bit and often ran off. He tried hard to do the right thing and after only 6 training sessions, I was able to ride him and have a glimpse of how he would be after a month of good work.”

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!

A Bit of Comfort
“When connecting reins to the bit, I prefer to use a leather to leather connection for softness and a better feel. While having metal snaps in the ends of your reins is convenient for changing reins and repositioning your reins, the constant clinking of metal on metal can be irritating to your horse and makes it difficult to have a soft and steady feel on the reins. Some leather reins have a quick connect feature made of leather, which may not be as quick and convenient as a snap, but will give you a better feel on your horse’s mouth.”

Bridle path trimming
Here’s a quick tip about clipping your horse’s bridle path. Although bridle path length varies in expectations with breed and discipline, in general, less is more. For Quarter Horse and Thoroughbred type horses, the bridle path should be fairly short—just long enough to accommodate the headstall of the bridle. For gaited breeds and the more ’upright’ breeds, such as Arabians, Morgans and Saddlebreds, the bridle path is often cut long to enhance the look of the horse’s long, elegant neck.
If you are unsure about the proper length of bridle path to cut, gently lay the horse’s ear back on his neck and make sure the bridle path is not longer than the horse’s ear. To make the mane lay nicely over the horse’s neck, at the wither-end of the bridle path, cut a 45º angle underneath the mane. Always make sure your clippers are clean and oiled so you get the best cut the first time.

Poncha Springs, CO -- (June 23, 2008) Horse Master with Julie Goodnight—in an episode featuring Nashville artist Templeton Thompson—wins a 2008 Telly Award. Goodnight’s show, starring Goodnight, produced and directed by Heidi Nyland, and edited by Bo Roberts of HorseCity.com, was one of over 14,000 entries from all 50 states and around the world.

The winning episode, “A Bit of Nashville,” was taped at the Florida Carriage Museum and Resort (www.fcmr.org) in Weirsdale, Florida. It features Goodnight teaching Thompson’s (www.templetonthompson.com) horse to accept a curb bit so the singer can ride with one hand and hold a microphone.

Learn more about each episode as Goodnight discusses “behind-the-scenes” details and see Youtube.com clips from the episodes on her blog: http://juliegoodnightontheroad.blogspot.com/

Horse Master with Julie Goodnight stands out by telling a horse and rider’s story in every episode. After hearing that a horse and rider aren’t meeting their goals, Goodnight evaluates the situation then works with the pair. By the end of each episode, viewers get to know the horse and owner, learn new horsemanship skills and see the team’s dramatic improvement. Goodnight leads viewers through the entire process while clearly explaining what’s gone wrong and what can be done to solve the problem. Whether you want to learn to work as a team with your own horse or you’re simply interested in horses, tune in to see horse training in a fun-to-watch form.

Julie Goodnight Tip of the Month for May

PONCHA SPRINGS, Colo. May 15, 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 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 one of 12 tips to help you when you’re in a layout crunch . . .
The Right Fit
Is your horse’s halter too snug or too loose? Does it hang down around his nose or squeeze his face, rubbing the hair away? Do you fit a rope halter the same as a webbed halter? How do you know if you horse’s halter fits or what size halter he should wear? These are all legitimate questions and it is important to have a halter that fits your horse just right—for his comfort and his safety.
Whether you use a rope halter, nylon or leather halter, the fit should be the same. The cheek rings of the webbed halter and the cheek knots of the rope halter should sit about one finger’s width below the bottom of the cheek bone. If the noseband gets much lower, it could cause damage to the sensitive cartilage of the nose. The noseband should not fit snugly, but should not be so loose that he could get a hoof stuck in there when he scratches his face with his foot. You should have at least two finger’s width between the noseband and your horse’s jaw. More information on equipment and training can be found in articles and on instructional videos available at www.JulieGoodnight.com <http://www.JulieGoodnight.com> .
END OF SHORT VERSION, PROCEED AS SPACE ALLOWS.
Usually halters come in basic sizes: yearling, small horse (cob size), regular horse (most horses fit into this category), large horse (Warmblood or draft crosses), draft and mule. The average horse typically wears a regular horse size; if your horse’s head is very small and dished, he may need a small horse size, but keep in mind that you do not want the halter to be tight and uncomfortable for your horse.
Rope halters can be a little trickier to fit correctly on the horse. When you put the rope halter on, be sure to pull the throat knot all the way up to the horse’s throat, then tie it off. This should place the cheek knots just below the cheek bones and keep the upper piece above his jowl—not going across it. If there is too much room in the noseband because your horse has a very refined head, you can loosen the fiador knot under the chin and work it up to tighten the noseband. Or you can use electrical tape to tape around the fiador knot to make the noseband smaller.
Turning out horse in halters is not recommended because of the chance of your horse getting hung up on something. Horses should never be turned loose with a rope halter on because it is easier for them to get hung up and they will not break. If a horse must be turned out with a halter on, make sure that is has a leather breakaway strap at the top so your horse can break safely away if he gets snagged.
Finally, when you trailer your horse, make sure he is in a breakaway halter and never trailer a horse in a rope halter. If your horse falls and or you are in a wreck, you want him to break free. Most halters made for trailering are made of leather because they are more breakable. Most rope halters are made with climbing rope which is not breakable for the horse. Also, you want your horse to be as comfortable as possible in the trailer and not pulling against the rope halter when he gets off balance.

CIRCLE Y SADDLES PARTNERS WITH JULIE GOODNIGHT
(April 25, 2008) Yoakum, TX…Circle Y Saddles, Inc, America’s Leading Saddle Brand, welcomes internationally renowned clinician and trainer Julie Goodnight to its Team Of Champions. The Julie Goodnight and Circle Y partnership brings horse owners quality products and superior knowledge in saddles and their use. The original Flex2® saddles by Circle Y provide Goodnight, and her many fans, better fit and comfort for both horse and rider.
“I’m thrilled to be part of the Circle Y team,” Goodnight says. “I’ve ridden in so many comfortable Circle Y saddles over the years and I’m proud to officially endorse the line. I’ve been riding in the Flex2 at horse expos—the slightly flexible tree allows for plenty of support and weight distribution for the horse and puts me very close to the horse—in just the right spot on his back for a balanced ride and good control. The Flex2 saddles are light weight and are comfortable right out of the box. These are high-quality saddles at a great price.”
Goodnight has more than a quarter-century of 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. Headlining at most of the horse expos and similar venues, Goodnight provides training and instruction to riders of many different disciplines. She is frequently featured in national magazines, and now has her own TV show, Horse Master With Julie Goodnight, seen on RFD-TV each Wednesday at 5:30 EST (available on Dish channel 231 or 9398 and DirecTV channel 379).
The Circle Y Flex2® tree technology is built into saddles for barrel racing, showing, competitive events, and for trail riding. The Flex2® tree conforms to the horse for better fit, and is lightweight-a plus for both horse and rider. Circle Y Saddles has long been recognized as the leader in style, innovation and craftsmanship. “Circle Y and Julie Goodnight are a natural fit. Her knowledge and ability to connect with riders and their horses, helps saddle buyers make informed decisions, ensuring they get the most pleasure and performance from their horse,” said Mark Jemelka, Vice President and General Manager of Circle Y Saddles.

PONCHA SPRINGS, Colo. April 6, 2008—Julie Goodnight announces the release of her first Horse Master TV-Show DVD—a compilation of the five episodes filmed in Longmont, Colorado’s Meadow Creek Farms—now available at http://www.juliegoodnight.com/products.html for $29.95. As a bonus, if you purchase from April 15 to May 31, 2008, Goodnight will autograph your copy of the DVD!
Do you wish you could see Goodnight's new TV show, but don't get RFD-TV? Episodes include desensitizing a spooky trail horse, building confidence in a scared horse and rider, collection for an advanced dressage rider, teaching ground manners to a young Andalusian, and helping a youth rider gain more control of the horse that is taking advantage of her. DVD also includes bonus features- "Quick Tips" from Julie Goodnight.
Goodnight—known for her easy to understand teaching style and her appearances at horse expos everywhere—works with a new equestrian and equine in each episode. You’ll get to know each rider and all she hopes to achieve with her horse. Next you’ll meet the horse—and see the problems that keep the rider’s goal from becoming reality. As the horse master, Goodnight steps in to work with each horse then trains the rider to be the best leader possible. Each rider gains skills and learns training tips to help her master her dreams.
Goodnight began the series on her own turf—in the heart of Colorado. In the premiere episode, filmed at Meadow Creek Farms in Longmont— http://www.meadowcreekfarms.net — Goodnight meets Pam and Spanky. Spanky often spooks on the trail and isn’t always a fun mount to rely upon. Goodnight teaches Pam how to use the flag to advance and retreat—teaching her horse to be calm with any scary stimulus. Pam also learns a head down cue to practice on the ground and from the saddle.
Next is Helen and her Friesian named Pieter. The pair is recuperating after two intense accidents. Goodnight helps Helen relax, create a plan, and begin to confidently work with her tall horse. You’ll see the spooks and learn how to teach your horse to relax with advance and retreat techniques.
After Sharon’s recent surgery, she’s excited to get in shape for show season and learn the skills she needs to be the best rider possible for her experienced dressage horse. Sharon looks to Goodnight to learn collection techniques. Stay tuned for a great story of a beautiful horse and his dedicated rider.
In the next episodes, Goodnight helps a youth rider learn to work with her new horse—and prepare for upcoming 4-H shows. She’ll help young Kelsey take charge—and avoid getting pushed and prodded by her too-friendly horse.
Watch Goodnight work with Pamela—a veteran horse owner with a youngster who is quite a handful. You’ll learn what to do with a pushy foal and how to teach a filly how to behave like a lady. Stop her from being pushy on the ground and start to teach her the manners you demand.
You’ll find great tips and lessons within each rider’s progress story. Join Julie Goodnight and learn how you can be the ultimate, confident, calm, and kind horse master.
Call to Action
Do you think you and your horse have the perfect story and problem for the Horse Master? Goodnight will film her next episodes at her home ranch in Colorado (filming June 10-12, 2008) and Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts (September 2-5, 2008). Download an application at http://www.horsemaster.tv

PONCHA SPRINGS, Colo. April 5, 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 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 one of 12 tips to help you when you’re in a layout crunch . . .
Minding Manners at Feed Time
Is your horse cranky at feed time? Does he pin his ears, bare his teeth and stomp his feet? Or worse, does he grab the hay out of your arms and shove you aside? If your horse has bad manners at feed time, he may be displaying aggressive and dominant behavior because he thinks his actions are making you feed him. While this kind of behavior can be dangerous, it can also erode your authority with the horse and make him difficult to handle in other situations.
Horses establish dominance in the herd, in part, by controlling the feed—the dominant horse can take away the feed of a more subordinate horse. If your horse comes to believe his antics are making you surrender the feed to him, in his mind, that means he’s dominant. If your horse has bad feed-time manners, take a training flag with you and wave it at him; once he backs up and looks at you with his ears forward, throw him the feed and walk away. This and other behavioral problems are thoroughly explained in articles and on instructional videos available at www.JulieGoodnight.com <http://www.JulieGoodnight.com> .
END OF SHORT VERSION, PROCEED AS SPACE ALLOWS.
Horses develop this kind of bad behavior from anxiety over their feed and because they have been inadvertently rewarded for bad behavior. In the wild, horses eat small amounts all day long; constantly roaming in order to find suitable forage. In domestication, we have confined horses and generally feed them in two rations of very concentrated feed, leaving them to go for long periods without eating. For this reason, horses can have a lot of anxiety around feed time.
In acting out his anxiety, your horse one day arbitrarily displayed some emotional behavior, like pinning his ears or stomping his feet. Then someone came along and fed him and he made an association, right or wrong, between his bad behavior and getting fed. So the next day, he tried it again and low and behold, he got fed again! Remember, he doesn’t understand the human world and your plans and routine. He not only believes his antics are causing you to feed him, but he also thinks he’s taking away the food from you and in his world—that means he’s dominant.
Whatever your horse is doing at the moment you release him (or reward him) is what you are training him to do. That’s why timing is such a critical part of horse training. If you just take a few moments to back the horse up and wait for him to display respectful behavior before giving him the feed, his bad manners will disappear and he will become more respectful of you as his leader.
Learning to think like a horse, instead of a human is one of our most difficult challenges in working with horses. My groundwork videos give lots of information on horse behavior and specific exercises you can do with your horse, teaching you to be the leader your horse needs you to be.

More about Horse Master with Julie Goodnight Filming:
We’re looking for a few good horses and their owners to star in the new weekly TV series, Horse Master with Julie Goodnight and airing each Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. MST on the nationally viewed RFD-TV. This show will feature one horse/rider team in each episode, chosen from applicants that have a problematic or difficult horse and/or want to learn a new skill in order to succeed with their usually pleasant mount. Each episode will revolve around a human with a horse problem or a horse with a human who needs to keep learning to master their horsemanship skills. We’re looking for a broad representation of horses, people, disciplines, breeds and issues. We’ll want to know about your horse’s history—about your relationship and the better “back story” the higher chances of being selected! This show is about the horse-human bond—the real story of a struggle and how to overcome and move on to live out dreams.
What to expect: If chosen, you and your horse will work one-on-one with nationally renowned natural horsemanship trainer Julie Goodnight — http://www.juliegoodnight.com / http://www.horsemaster.tv
Julie will work with the horse and teach you both how to work better together. You’ll have to make a commitment of two full days during the scheduled time, commit to having you and your horse present and prepared for the show (with our guidance) and to personal expenses for you and your horse (including your own wardrobe, travel expenses and board at the shot location if applicable).
Horse Master is coming to a town near you:
June 10, 11, 12—2008, Julie’s Ranch in Salida, Colorado
September 2, 3, 4—2008, Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts
**We also need volunteers at each shooting location to assist with rider check in, horse preparation and shooting needs.
The ideal human participant for Horse Master…
· Will have a dynamic personality with a huge investment in horses (emotional, time, energy and resources); perhaps new to horses or rode as a kid. Had a lifelong dream of having a horse and riding off into the sunset together—reality is not living up to the dream. Someone recovering from a horse wreck and struggling to get back to riding. Or a youth or older rider trying to get to the next horsemanship level.
· For some, philanthropic goals may have guided horse selection (rescue horse, PMU baby, Mustang, etc). If you have grand goals, but feel over your head, you may be perfect for the show.
· Or perhaps you’re a more experienced hand—or even a professional—who’s come across a horse that’s difficult or has such serious training issues that you’re at a loss as to what to do next. Or maybe you’re stuck and don’t know what to do to get to the next training or showing level. Something’s just not coming together and you need a boost.
· Maybe you got into horses with a naive view of what is involved in the training of a horse or building a relationship with him. Perhaps there has been a tendency to treat your horse like a pet.
The ideal horse participant… (May be a combo of several)
· Middle-aged, trained riding horse that’s spoiled, ill-mannered, no leading manners, no respect or deference to handler, may be ok under saddle but a problem on the ground. We’re looking for horses that won’t load in a trailer, are afraid to cross water, won’t move close for you to open a gate, don’t want to be near other horses, are barn or gate sour, are cinchy, are head shy, are clipper shy, move ahead of you while you’re leading, etc.
· Green horse—a novice rider bought a green broke 3-4 y/o and then began to systematically un-train him and now he is confused about what to do, how to respond to the bit, disobedient, etc. A horse who won’t pick up correct leads, won’t ride into corners, etc.
· Messed-up training—a horse that was a victim of poor or abusive training early in life and, as a result, has serious training issues. Such as: a barrel horse that won't go in the arena gate and runs off with rider; a rope horse that will not take the right lead, a team-penning horse that’s anxious and throwing his head.
If you think your horse and you have what it takes…

horse wreck and struggling to get back to riding. Or a youth or older rider
trying to get to the next horsemanship level.
· For some, philanthropic goals may have guided horse selection (rescue
horse, PMU baby, Mustang, etc). If you have grand goals, but feel over your
head, you may be perfect for the show.
· Or perhaps you¹re a more experienced hand&lsqauo;or even a professional&lsqauo;who¹s
come across a horse that¹s difficult or has such serious training issues
that you¹re at a loss as to what to do next. Or maybe you¹re stuck and don¹t
know what to do to get to the next training or showing level. Something¹s
just not coming together and you need a boost.
· Maybe you got into horses with a naive view of what is involved in the
training of a horse or building a relationship with him. Perhaps there has
been a tendency to treat your horse like a pet.
The ideal horse participantŠ (May be a combo of several)
· Middle-aged, trained riding horse that¹s spoiled, ill-mannered, no
leading manners, no respect or deference to handler, may be ok under saddle
but a problem on the ground. We¹re looking for horses that won¹t load in a
trailer, are afraid to cross water, won¹t move close for you to open a gate,
don¹t want to be near other horses, are barn or gate sour, are cinchy, are
head shy, are clipper shy, move ahead of you while you¹re leading, etc.
· Green horse&lsqauo;a novice rider bought a green broke 3-4 y/o and then began
to systematically un-train him and now he is confused about what to do, how
to respond to the bit, disobedient, etc. A horse who won¹t pick up correct
leads, won¹t ride into corners, etc.

training early in life and, as a result, has serious training issues. Such
as: a barrel horse that won't go in the arena gate and runs off with rider;

anxious and throwing his head.

Had a lifelong dream of having a horse and riding off into the sunset together—reality is not living up to the dream. Someone recovering from a horse wreck and struggling to get back to riding. Or a youth or older rider trying to get to the next horsemanship level.
· For some, philanthropic goals may have guided horse selection (rescue horse, PMU baby, Mustang, etc). If you have grand goals, but feel over your head, you may be perfect for the show.
· Or perhaps you’re a more experienced hand—or even a professional—who’s come across a horse that’s difficult or has such serious training issues that you’re at a loss as to what to do next. Or maybe you’re stuck and don’t know what to do to get to the next training or showing level. Something’s just not coming together and you need a boost.
· Maybe you got into horses with a naive view of what is involved in the training of a horse or building a relationship with him. Perhaps there has been a tendency to treat your horse like a pet.
The ideal horse participant… (May be a combo of several)
· Middle-aged, trained riding horse that’s spoiled, ill-mannered, no leading manners, no respect or deference to handler, may be ok under saddle but a problem on the ground. We’re looking for horses that won’t load in a trailer, are afraid to cross water, won’t move close for you to open a gate, don’t want to be near other horses, are barn or gate sour, are cinchy, are head shy, are clipper shy, move ahead of you while you’re leading, etc.
· Green horse—a novice rider bought a green broke 3-4 y/o and then began to systematically un-train him and now he is confused about what to do, how to respond to the bit, disobedient, etc. A horse who won’t pick up correct leads, won’t ride into corners, etc.
· Messed-up training—a horse that was a victim of poor or abusive training early in life and, as a result, has serious training issues. Such as: a barrel horse that won't go in the arena gate and runs off with rider; a rope horse that will not take the right lead, a team-penning horse that’s anxious and throwing his head.

March 15, 2008—Internationally renowned horse trainer Julie Goodnight (of Poncha Springs, Colorado) presents a two-day horsemanship clinic at Auburn Lake Trails in Cool, California May 17-18, 2008—located just 45 minutes NW of Sacramento, at the top of the canyon from Auburn. The clinic is open to the public to watch and audit. The clinic is limited to 15 riders (unlimited spectators) to ensure each horse and rider gets the individual attention they need to have greater success.
Open to all disciplines of riding and breeds of horses, Goodnight’s clinic focuses on understanding and improving your relationship with your horse, learning more about horse behavior and training techniques and mastering critical riding skills. Each morning starts with a groundwork session to hone your communication with your horse then moves on to mounted work to improve your balance, rhythm and communication with the horse. Each horse and rider team works at their own pace and ability level. The primary goals for the clinic are to have a safe and fun experience while improving your horsemanship and gaining confidence.
Spectators benefit tremendously from the clinic, watching all the horses and riders, asking questions and interacting with Julie and other clinic participants. For auditing tickets (for one or both days), or to apply to be on the waiting list for riding spots, reserve your space online at http://www.juliegoodnight.com/clinicreg.html or call 800-225-8827. Nearby hotels in Auburn, CA, offer lodging and stabling is available on-site. You’ll love Julie’s friendly and clear teaching style and gain lots of information to take home to work with your own horse.
Goodnight filmed her weekly TV series, Horse Master with Julie Goodnight in southern California in January, 2008. The five episodes filmed at Peacock Hill Ranch air April 16 through May 14, 2008. The five shows will be available to watch on one DVD, to be released in May, 2008. Log on to http://www.juliegoodnight.com to order the DVD—hint, members of Julie’s e-newsletter receive discounts on pre-orders. Log on to Goodnight’s blog to comment on each California-filmed episode: http://horsemastertv.blogspot.com/
The shows may be seen on RFD-TV (Direct TV channel 379, Dish channel 231 or 9398, or through Comcast cable service). On April 16, watch Goodnight work with CHA riding instructor Tedi Tate and her Thoroughbred, Hunter—a hopeful lesson horse. Before arriving at Tate’s barn, Hunter was a racehorse. He was trained to brace and run fast when a rider pulled on his mouth. Now, Tate wants to make sure he won’t take off with her students. Goodnight helped Tate learn how to train Hunter to put his head down on command, helping him relax and stop fighting the bit. Watch The Horse Master work with Tedi and Hunter in “Speed Demon.”
Goodnight met up with Mayisha Akbar and her riding student, Ken Atkins. Akbar founded the Compton Junior Posse—http://www.jrposse.com —a non-profit, 501-C3 riding school for inner city youth. Riders from the “posse” learn responsibility and teamwork on Akbar’s ranch, then travel throughout southern California to compete at open horse shows. Atkins worked with Goodnight to learn balance exercises that will help him continue to improve his horsemanship skills. As a senior rider within the posse, Atkins will also teach other riders how to improve their balance with Goodnight’s technique. Watch Atkins and his horse Puma in “A Delicate Balance.”
Goodnight helped Stephanie Abronson teach her driving pony, Polina, to trust her as a leader and relax when she passes flapping plastic and other scary stimuli. Goodnight taught Abronson to use the training flag and stick in an advance and retreat process. Polina quickly understood that when she stood quietly without panicking, the flag stimulus went away. Watch Goodnight with Abronson and Polina in “Time for Fears.”
Ranae Harrer and her reining-trained horse, Dusty, worked with Goodnight to get back on track. Harrer said Dusty went where he wanted at his own pace—not the speed and direction she dictated. In the episode quickly deemed “Master and Commander,” Goodnight helped Harrer learn to keep Dusty in gait and traveling on the rail—without stopping in the center.
Next watch as Goodnight helps Arlene Proebstring catch her young horse, Ally. Proebrstring says she used treats and any method she could think of to catch Ally before meeting Goodnight. Goodnight refused to play games with Ally and instead, kept him moving until stopping and being caught became the easiest answer.
