Horse Buyer and Bit Problems Needed for our September, 2009 Horse Master Shoot in CO--Get Julie's help and advice as you buy your perfect horse

Summer’s an excellent time to review episodes of Horse Master with Julie Goodnight, especially those shot at Camelot Farms in South Carolina’s “low country.” At this location, Goodnight demonstrates exactly what to do for some all-too-common problems, such as keeping attention whil longeing, controlling head tossing and maintaining collection. First, watch what happens when a rebellious young horse thinks he’s in charge of the longe line, yanks it out of his owner’s hands and takes off. Goodnight shows the owner how to calmly assert her authority on the ground and build a productive relationship going forward. Next up, a Quarter Horse mare tosses her head and rides through the bit, and you may be surprised at Goodnight’s smart solution of a milder bit and softer hands. Another mystery you’ll discover is why it’s so difficult to maintain collection when it’s one of the most natural movements a horse can do. Find out Goodnight’s method that focuses on the horse’s innate instincts.

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.

Be a Cast Member on Horse Master with Julie Goodnight: 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
