Horsemanship kicked off with our contestants riding a free-style pattern of their choice on their horse. The goal of this portion is for the contestants show off their best riding skills and what their horse can do. Besides the normal mistakes, part 1 of horsemanship was a tough judge for our judges. Jackie lead the ladies on a flag serpentine and then each contestant did an individual flag run. Part 2 of horsemanship proved to be just as tough as part 1. The contestants rode their draw horses to a set pattern that Jackie set for them. Speaking with each contestant, they felt confident with how their own horse and draw horse performed. What a great way to start off the day!
