Most challenging season for horse care? That’s the mud season, which in Western Washington can be 12 months. Probably shouldn’t have horses here, but so be it. There are challenges everywhere, eh?

It was a fitting end to my travel-year, when my last remaining clinic was cancelled, not due to the pandemic, but because of raging wild fires in northern Colorado. This has certainly been a year full of […]

Summer came to a screeching halt around our ranch, just two days after record heat on Labor Day, when we were hammered with well over a foot of snow and temps in the low 20s and highs in the 30s […]

With more time at home than ever before, you’d think I’d get my horse ridden every day. I guess it’s not surprising that having to totally reinvent the way you do business might take some extra time. […]

Thank you for “Secret Powers are Within You.” So many things to know about horses and our connection that have little to do with training “techniques.” This was very beneficial. The article on “Creating Connection” was great, too. Wanted to take this time to thank you for all the time and training you have us during the “year of the pandemic.” Very generous of you, Julie. I looked forward to those moments very much. God bless. Patti Jensen
I have a similar situation with my new 12 yo horse. Sam is trained eventer/ dressage/ foxhunter and has bad habit of pulling away from handler and running off. He has a technique that is hard to counter and he gets away which is dangerous, and I believe was sold due to this behavior. How can I correct?
Hi Travis! Listen to the episode of the Ride On with Julie Goodnight called “Horses That Rip & Run.” (Go to JulieGoodnight.com/podcast) That episode addresses this topic exactly! You can also use the search feature to find articles and an episode of Horse Master that deals with this issue. Good luck!
