Notes From Julie
Now’s your chance to get kind, one-on-one help with your horsemanship goals!
Goodnight presents two-day horsemanship clinics covering groundwork and riding skills and designed to help you work on your own horsemanship goals. Whether you choose to bring your horse and ride with Goodnight or join the clinic as a spectator, you’ll leave with invaluable horse training and care advice. Log on or call now to reserve your audience tickets or reserve a spot to ride with Goodnight: http://juliegoodnight.com/clinicsor call (800) 225-8827.
Each of Goodnight’s Clinic Tours provides an opportunity for horse owners to ride with Goodnight. Audiences are also invited-to watch and learn in a friendly environment for a nominal cost. Clinics are open to 10-15 riders ($450 per horse and rider pair) and unlimited audiences ($25 adult tickets; $10 for youths 18 and under when you purchase online).
Goodnight enjoys working with horses and horse owners and strives to make sure each clinic attendee feels safe and relaxed. “I love the opportunity to work in depth with the horses and their owners, the way I can at clinics-checking tack fit, evaluating the horse, assessing rider skill and seeing how they work together as a team and what their next step is,” she says. “Often there are little adjustments that make a world of difference to the horse. I spend a lot of my time throughout the year giving advice to horse owners through the Internet and in person at expos, but in both cases I don’t get to see the horse. Seeing things from the horse’s point of view always makes it easier for me to help the rider. Clinics are a more intimate venue and I enjoy getting to know people, working with many horses in one setting and the more casual atmosphere that we have at horsemanship clinics.”
Goodnight prepared a PDF sheet to help you understand the clinic process. Download the clinic guide at http://juliegoodnight.com/images/clinicprep.pdf.

You’ll find information about how to get to each locale and what to bring for you and your horse.
