Julie is a neighbor of mine. I know her as a kind and thoughtful trainer who puts the welfare of horses right after rider safety. An outstanding clinician, I don't think you will go wrong with her material. I find her style refreshing, especially compared to the "my way or the highway" approach put forth by the likes of Parelli.

She sometimes comes and watches us practice cutting cattle, and never has a bad word to say, only constant encouragement for the good things she sees. I think you can count on her to stick to what she knows, while remaining open to stuff she might not know (but will learn in a big hurry if it applies). Goodnight Training Stables also sponsors the Versatility Ranch Horse competition I ride in every fall, for which I am more than grateful.

She's a good girl: go for it.
