' t ' - '.' - 'vy 'V ' '" Other children from the area have done the same. Kendra Ibarguen is 14, and has been riding since she was 3 years old. It is a second nature to her now. Her brother Craig, who is 1, has been riding since before he was born, according to his 1 Diane Wieser mother who is an avid horse- ceive instruction, she said. While many adults come to the stable for training it is the children that most intrigue Mrs. Wieser. She said children seem to have a natural desire to groom and train horses and that love can be used to an advantage. From an early age they can be taught proper riding skills and how to, work with their horses for show or for enjoyment. Like many of the students she trains, Mrs. Wiesers two oldest children have been riding since they were tots. Her in daughter, Cara, is riding. She and her pony Snickers make the rounds of the arena with ease, gracefully gliding over the jumps. Adam began last year. Mrs. Wieser riding said she let him decide when to start. Before last year she taught him horse safety, to stay out of the path of the animals and to. respect them, but after observing through his young life he felt he was ready to get into the saddle by the time he was three. He now spends many hours a week on a horse learning how to place his hands, to use his small body to communicate to the animal, and to walk it around the well-heel- ed Four-year-o- ld woman herself. Many women enjoy riding throughout their pregnancies, according to Mrs. Wieser. They then like to expose their children to horses and riding at a very early age. She said many of the students at her stable have their own horses. The horses can be boarded at the stables or trucked in for training periods. For those who dont have their own horses several schooling horses are on hand. Those horses are especially and are trained for English riding. When the time comes to buy a horse Mrs. Wieser will help a student to choose one that matches the students temperament and personality so the riding experince can be as pleasant as possible. Many of her patrons have ridand have den Western-styl- e trained their horses to that form of riding so rider and horse are trained to hunt seat together. Mrs. Wieser said English-styl- e riding is becoming a very popu. well-manner- ed lar sport and riders train year-roun- d. In the fall and win- ter preparations are made for spring and summer shows. The Wiesers plan to have their first show at the stables this September. She said many factors contrib- ute to the popularity of English-style riding but one of the is the communion ones major between rider and mount. She said the close contact saddle and a different type of tack makes possible the use of the riders body to communicate instructions to the horse, making the horse and rider a true team. She said the hands are the d in English riding. But team work isnt the only reason it appeals to some youth. Some just like the way it looks. Stephanie Simmons has rode Western-styl- e for five years but changed to English seven months ago because it looks more sophisticated. She said she simply likes the style and the feeling it gives her to train for shows in Engish. Tammy Hilburn agrees. She was so impressed with an aunt who rode English-styl- e that she has always chosen that form of riding. She said it is an exciting form of riding that gives her a great sense of satisfaction. Mrs. Wieser said personal satisfaction is only one element of growth offered by mastering English riding for children. They gain so much she said. I have seen children come in who blossomed while they were learning, she said. By the time a child has reached the teens they are usually only too willing to become all involved in riding and horses. least-use- ' - f auto-bod- o ; , he; vVtV f- 'a v i Choreographer joins, Starburst Productions ;.ii LAYTON KarmaAstle'hasf the staff of Starburst Pro-- ', joined ductions as choreographer. was trained in ballet by Wiliipj J' Christensen, and has dancedJjR,".. numerous performances with Ballet West.
