Last night, I got my first true horsemanship lesson from Deanna Beals (D.J.).
I have ridden horses before but never really understood the horse and how they communicate to us and we to them.
At the next level of field trialing with Bailey, I needed to get better at my horsemanship skills. I will need to be able to ride the horse while paying attention to handling Bailey and his actions during a brace.
D.J. is shown above in this video riding Patch.

Patch is a wonder five-year-old Tennessee Walker that I have had the pleasure of borrowing from Gordon at a field trial last year.

This is the same horse I am learning on.
D.J. and I have set up weekly two-hour lessons. Good times.
