Horseback Riding is one of the main
activities at Timberlane. It is headed by Rick Kagen, Tom Morrison,
Steve Silver, and Larry Fuhrer. The horses include Nova, Arnold, Jet,
Ashes, Wendy, Cassidy, Smackers, Basooka, and Golden. Only English
riding is taught at camp.
Each day when your lesson is over, you take your horses to the stall
and tie them up. The horses are kept here until the ride the next
day. The method of teaching starts with everyone walking their horses
around the ring. The second day you bring your horses down to the
trails. They keep alternating, and as you get better, the staff
brings you into harder things, such as trotting, cantering, and
finally galloping.
