    I love all of your podcasts I am always learning from you. Just listening to your voice is calm. I listen to your podcast while I am walking my horse. Keep it up Julie.
  • I❤horses!
    Love it!
    As an amateur horse trainer I have a lot of questions and very little money. Julie’s podcast is such a wealth of knowledge and not a hit to the wallet. Thank you for everything you do, Julie!

    Very interesting
    I’m a young equestrian and I hope to become a trainer and instructor. Julie’s podcasts add to my knowledge about horse training and I love when she shares stories of her real experiences. I also like the What the Hey Q & A section. I would recommend doing more episodes around how to bond with less horses/ horses that you don’t own, and generally more content for people who don’t have a horse yet. Thanks for everything you do!

    Great podcast
    I really enjoy this podcast, Julie has so much experience working with horses and I always learn from her. She is down to earth and shares her horse training wisdom in a way that is easy to understand and simple to apply when I’m working with my own horses. Thank you Julie 😊

    The Riding Tool Box I Need
    "For me, a period of self doubt is always followed by some more of positive affirmation..." I love Julie's podcast! She has really helped me grow in both my riding confidence and competence.

    Practical, concrete and helpful
    Julie’s podcast has been incredibly helpful to me. She is practical and down-to-earth. Her advice can be taken straight out to the barn and used to make an immediate difference. Her philosophy is that clear, consistent boundaries and leadership will make you safer and more successful and make your horse more relaxed and happy. I was lucky enough to attend a clinic she held. She is just as happy to help a beginner with the basics, or someone who has had an accident and is struggling with fear, as she is to work at a high level with advanced riders. With the basics, you know she has taught these same skills thousands of time, but she is incredibly patient and willing to help anyone who really wants to learn. If you have a horse and want to improve your leadership, your horse’s manners, your ground work, your riding, your horse’s work ethic, and be safer and happier and have a happier, more confident horse, I recommend this podcast as well as Julie’s zillions of hours of videos on her website!

    Great Podcast for all Disciplines
    I love this podcast, because Julie’s approach is straightforward, calm, and can be applied to every discipline. I love how she goes so in-depth into every topic, and I’ve even been able to apply some of the principles to my life outside of the horse world. Thank you, Julie!
  • 2yeehaa
    Julie Goodnight is an inspiration
    I listen to all her podcasts and look forward to every new installment. I often repeat an episode to cement concepts she shares. No matter what your discipline she adds to my partnership with my horse. Great listening while doing barn chores especially manure!
  • jcandboys

    Simply THE BEST
    Thoughtful, well researched, insightful lessons that will improve your horsemanship the very next time out with horses.

    Excited to Learn More!
    I’ve been so impressed with Julie Goodnight’s practical training information that I will be joining her 5 day clinic at the C Lazy U Ranch this October. I’ve been on an amazing journey with my little horse “Poco,” a highly sensitive, traumatized, rescue - Paso Fino I adopted 3 1/2 years ago. Nothing worked for us until I discovered the natural horsemanship methods. Now my communication has improved, his trust has developed and I’m feeling a lot more hopeful for a safer future together. Thank you for all you do and I look forward to leaning more and meeting you this October! (Oh, and I’ve never roped a cow!)
  • GroomLife
    Lightbulb moments abound!
    I’ve been into horses most of my life, and I absolutely love Julie’s no nonsense approach to horsemanship. She breaks things down in a way that is so easy to understand. When I understand the WHY of what I’m doing, it makes everything fall into place. I’m so happy I stumbled upon this podcast and Julie’s content! She is my new go-to source for when I have a problem with one of our horses. My confidence has grown in the short time I’ve been listening, and I cannot wait to put all the things I’m learning into practice! Ride on! ❤️

    Julie has boundless expert horse knowledge & experience
    Julie is an amazing horse advocate who shares information in the most intelligent and compassionate way, benefiting both horse and rider of all disciplines.

    Great information
    I love Julie’s podcasts! She is so knowledgeable and presents information in a clear easy to understand way. Thank you for doing this Julie!
  • Judi Lexington KY
    Reiner to Ranch Riding from Judi in Kentucky
    Many thanks to Julie for addressing my question on transitioning a reining horse to Ranch Riding in her recent podcast! She is so intuitive and gifted and gets right to the heart of the challenge. I cannot wait to try her recommendations! Also want to say that the podcast regarding trot hacks was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed it and even though have been riding (and posting) most of my life I learned so much! So grateful to have access to such wonderful information:)
  • Fan of Mexica Food
    Best, and most useful horse information ever!
    I found Julie’s podcast at just the right time in my life. I used to show but now trail ride. She speaks to so many concerns I have encountered on the trail. She explains in language that is clear and easily understood. She explained the elusive art of collection in a way I can’t wait to try. I feel I can keep busy during winter months riding indoors and be ready for the trail when the weather breaks. I really can’t say enough good things and I haven't even been to her website yet. Julie thank you so much!
  • kowgurl99

    Once my horse spooked on a trail when the horse in front of her kicked her. If I would have listened to this earlier I could have done better in that moment.

    Great Equine Podcast

  • Cindy in Illinois
    Every episode is full of such useable information
    There are so many great clinicians out there, but Communicating ideas and techniques in this format it takes someone special. I’ve been around horses for a long time, yet every podcast I learn something new, offered in a clear and articulate way. Thank you for offering your expertise, it has h err loves me spot in my Horsemanship journey
  • ealti
    Best equestrian podcast!
    I’ve sampled so many horse related podcasts and yours is the only one I’ve kept on my queue. You always have the best subjects and you explain everything so well! I look forward to each new episode. I’ve seen you at the Equine Affaire in Massachusetts many times.
  • hamlinpops
    Mark from Bondurant
    I’ve sampled many horse clinicians’ podcasts. Yours are great. Your podcast on bits covered them from A-Z, was informative, cogent, logical, and sooooo helpful. I’ve previously heard so much conflicting and misleading information. You sorted a lot of things out.
  • Great podcast on horses!
    How Can I Help My Horse Like His Job?
    Thank you for your podcasts. I listen almost daily as I exercise. You explain everything clearly and with such great detail. I appreciate your podcasts so much.
  • CarmieJo
    My Favorite Podcast!
    Julie is a fantastic teacher! She is able to break things down into small steps so it is easy to understand and yet doesn't talk down to better riders. She always considers the horse and how the human is impacting the horse's behavior and performance.
  • snowmantra75
    Winter riding podcast
    Love the podcast. I have to chuckle because if I had to wait for 10degrees Fahrenheit to ride I would never get to ride! I live in MInnesota. Riding tip...I ride in my Steger Mukluks ( granted I don’t use a saddle ) but they keep my feet warm and half the time I don’t wear socks... they are lightweight. Julie you should check them out. Made in Ely, MN Use smart wool socks. They have an arctic version but I just wear my north country model. I wear Duluth trading fleece windproof zip up over base layer (smart wool) and a waterproof windproof outer layer.

  • MissyGH
    Thank you, Julie!
    Julie is the real deal and this podcast is the best. FREE advice from such an accomplished horsewoman is an incredible gift. I keep my horses on my own place, so I need to keep top-notch information coming to me. So glad I found this inspirational podcast to help me move forward with my horses. Thank you, Julie. It is wonderful. I will be sharing!
  • HSFLLC
    Is your horse a good citizen
    Excellent and informative podcast! This podcast touches on every person’s and every horse’s good qualities as well as the negative qualities ...and how to improve and change the negative ones! Easy and relaxing listening to important information that all horse people should hear and learn from!!!

    I am new to the horse world, I am 53 years young, and I am learning so much from her podcasts , I am wondering Julie if you have any suggestions for helpful tips when a horse has an issue letting me pick his hoof, he's been battling Thrush but I am having issue with one hoof in particular, he really battles me when I pick up his right front hoof, my horse is 21 years old , he's been trained in Buck Brennan horsemanship. He stomps/pulls jerks his hoof away from me , Any advice .
  • Filly Bu$ter
    Super!!!
    Julie’s podcasts are really helpful! She gives clear, easy to follow descriptions of problems & solutions. She breaks things down so they make sense. I’ve enjoyed this podcast so much, I signed up for one of her clinics in Colorado! I can’t wait!!! Thank you Stride Rite & Julie Goodnight for this!!!
  • M Meade
    Extremely helpful
    I just recently found this podcast. I have been following Julie Goodnight for a couple of years; watching her at clinics, following her on Facebook. I love how she keeps it simple and easy to understand. I got caught up in listening several good trainers, but it was causing me to try too many methods on my horse leading to very inconsistent riding skill on my part. I have decided to follow just one trainer and focus on those methods. Thank you Julie for helping this rider!!
  • carmncj
    Great info!!
    I recently found this podcast and I am hooked! I’ve admired and learned from Julie Goodnight from watching her demos at expos and watching her tv program. She always makes things seem so doable no matter what your problem. She manages to give that same feeling when I listen to the podcast. It is inspiring and educational as well as entertaining hearing her stories of past horses who were challenges I highly recommend listening to this if you are interested in increasing your knowledge and skills with horses!
  • FAB-Brown
    Julie is definitely one of the best!
    I’ve known Julie for many years and I always always learn so much from her. Her life is dedicated to studying our beloved horses and she has always taken it seriously, and her ability to take that knowledge and share it is incredible. I’m proud to call her a friend! PS - the Cascade Crossover for a rancher gal like me is the best, lightest most comfortable saddle I’ve ever ridden!!!
  • equestrian woman.
    Great podcast!
    Julie Goodnight is an exceptional trainer and teacher. I learn something each time I listen to her wisdom. It’s a great reinforcement and hearing her discuss and explain how to work with horses. Love these podcasts.
  • LKa03
    Fantastic podcast
    Hands down the best equestrian related podcast available, and hosted by a world class trainer to boot. Great information for everyone around the barn; from the seasoned rider to a beginner.

  • amadadelsol
    Best podcast for horse lovers
    I get so much out of each episode. I watch other trainers and their teaching seems to fall flat but Julie is so knowledgeable and down to earth. I’m a big fan of her TV show, website and have seen her in person. What a knack she has for helping people.
  • Nikkworld
    Always Learning!
    I really like Julie's approach to training horses and how she communicates her knowledge to her audience. She is great at encouraging riders and giving valuable information.
  • ShowTimeFan1
    So much to learn!
    I really enjoy all of Julie's podcasts and TV shows. They're always really interesting and presented in an easy to understand way. Thanks!
  • E. Buck
    My morning lesson
    When I’m driving to work instead of in the barn I can take advantage of these amazing podcasts to improve my riding and better understand my horse. Julie has the amazing ability to breakdown topics in away that is very clear and understandable so that I can have that “A ha” moment. I would highly recommend adding these podcasts to you daily routine.
