I was really looking forward to meeting Julie. After all, several of us horse ladies here in the office are big fans and have watched and used her training videos. Her demeanor was very nice and all business. She is excellent at what she does and was intensely focused on doing just that. Watching the transformations between horses and riders was especially interesting to me. How many times have we-as riders-tried to teach our horse something and someone who has more experience comes along and says-do this instead and it’s like magic! Our horse amazingly does what we were trying to tea
ch him. One of our own was a cast member on the show. Tina, with her sweet gelding, Buddy, needed some help side passing. By the end of the session, Buddy had a good understanding of what Tina was asking him to do and Tina learned how to correctly ask him. You'll have to tune in and watch the show to see Julie's method for teaching a horse to sidepass! The show airs every Wednesday at 5:30 EST on RFD-TV. The filming took place at the Banshee Ranch which is a boarding, training, and rehabilitation facility. The staff was friendly and took excellent care of the horses. The barn was laid out well with horse friendly conveniences-not to mention neat as a pin with manure no where to be seen. Julie is having a 2-day riding clinic there in May. Check out Julie's web site for all the details.
