The indoor arena and winding trails on Five Star Ranch\'s grounds resound with pounding hooves as instructor Gail Haynes and her experienced staff guide young equestrians 10 years of age and older during group lessons. In a welllit 80\'x130\' indoor arena, teachers imbue their group horsebackriding students with safety tips for horse leading and expound on tacking techniques and grooming principles, such as which horse breeds look best with a pompadour. Once on the field, pupils put the ranch\'s horses through their paces in basic and twopoint positions and learn how to control the horse\'s direction and speed. Classes accommodate all experience levels, and hold up to eight students to ensure individual attention and to discourage recruiting from passing Lone Rangers. Novice riders up through intermediate equestrians receive horsehandling intensives in the fiveday March Break Camp. Up to six pupils 12 years and older follow instructor guidance as they learn barn safety, grooming, equipment care, and equine first aid and nutrition in an onsite barn. Teachers lead posses through basic riding techniques, the horsebackbound gymnastics of vaulting, and centaur impersonation in the indoor arena. Lessons also cover horsebackriding theory in the ranch classroom. The last day of camp may offer opportunities to take steeds trotting down nearby wooded trails and is also when riders decorate their fourhoofed companions with ribbons at the horse show. Students should come equipped with their own water, lunch, and snacks for postride refuels, as well as running shoes for horsehuman relay races. |
