Julie Goodnight has more than a quarter-century of horse training experience. You know Julie Goodnight as The Horse Master on her award-winning RFD-TV television show. Through her varied background—riding and training horses in dressage, jumping, racing, reining, colt-starting, and versatility ranch work, and wilderness riding—Julie has discovered the underlying principles important to any type of riding. She teaches "Classic Skills for a Natural Ride" and communicates clearly with horses and riders in any discipline and at any level. Julie travels coast-to-coast—and beyond—throughout much of the year to help horses and riders at horse expos, conferences, clinics, and while filming for her television “makeover” show. Julie has been featured in the top equestrian publications, including The Trail Rider, Horse & Rider --where she's a member of Team Horse & Rider-- and America’s Horse. Her syndicated columns appear in over 15 regional publications throughout North America.

Julie is also the International Spokesperson for the Certified Horsemanship Association—known as CHA. In 2008 she was named Equine Affaire's Exceptional Equestrian Educator--one of only three awards ever given.

Nicole Carswell



“GET THAT GAIT!” is the slogan for the 2010 clinic circuit for International instructor and clinician Nicole Carswell. Residing in Morehead, Kentucky, Nicole is a professional trainer and certified riding instructor. Her goal is to help the “at home and alone” riders of Gaited horses succeed in their pursuit of finding and maintaining gait.

Nicole’s passion is riding instruction. Teaching solid Gaited horsemanship fundamentals to the “at home” rider and watching as they ride their horse from no gait to a smooth gait, is the best reward an instructor can have. All horses utilized in Nicole’s clinics are flat shod or barefoot horses owned by outside riders, with the exception of a few similar demonstration horses. All Gaited breeds are welcome!

Performing clinics around the world has shown Nicole the need for education and instruction within the Gaited horse ranks. Nicole is launching a new company, GAITING SOLUTIONS, in 2010. Gaiting Solutions is designed to offer all Gaited horse riders the tools necessary to gain success in smooth riding through knowledge and application. All clinic appearances will utilize the Gaiting Solutions system and will work one on one with riders to explain how to find their horse’s gait and bring it out.

Nicole is author of “A Matter Of Pride”, the video, “Equitation and Showring Presentation”, and the new book/DVD Teach Your Horse To Park. Nicole has trained numerous World Champion riders and horses which have gone on to win National Celebration titles. She was co-creator of the TWHBEA Instructor Certification Program, Academy Program, and currently aiding in the S.H.O.W. Judges Program where she is a AAA judge with certifications in Versatility, Pleasure and Equitation. Nicole also has an active International Program where she instructs Youth and Adult Riding Camps in Europe.
