Horseback riding in recent years has become a very popular hobby. Lawrence Foster, president of the several local opportunities to develop their knowledge and enjoyment of horseback
There are three stables in the Lawrence area that offer horsemanship lessons; the Fox School of Horsesmanship, the Mott Ranch, and the Spencer Riding Academy.
The Fox School of Horsemanship is two miles west of the Ramada Inn on Highway 40. The school is owned and operated by Rick and Barbara Fox.
At the Fox School, lessons are given in hunt seat jumping, a form of riding in which a horse and horse complete an arranged course. Students from all grades attend nine hour and are open to anyone over nine years of age. Students at the school are taught to ride a bicycle as well as ride, according to Rice Fence.
The Fox School features an indoor arena where group lessons are given.
In the indoor arena it is possible to enjoy horrorsucking ride all year instead of just in the rain.
Fox said the world horse population had expanded rapidly in the last few years. People now have more leisure time and are looking for adventure jobs as owning and riding horses he said.
The Mott Ranch, owned and operated by Gayle Mott, is south of Lawrence. It offers lessons in western and English horsesnip for $2 an hour.
Mott said that the ranch specialized in children's lessons but that adult lessons were available on Tuesday and Saturday. There is a waiting list for lessons, he said, but it doesn't take long for new students to enroll.
Mott said he had been in the horse business all his life. From 1938 to 1958, he taught horseback riding at the University of Arizona and attended Allen Field House is now, Mott said.
The Mott Ranch, like the Fox School,

horses.
"A person can take riding lessons and be a heck of a good rider and not know anything about horses," Mott said. "So we have to learn how to ride for horses along with the riding skills."
Horses are not available for rent at either the Fox School or at the Mott Ranch. Mott said there was too much risk involved in loaning out horses. He said the risks included possible lawsuits and injury to the horses.
The Spencer Riding Academy, 16 miles west of the Ramada inn on U. S. Highway 240.
The Spencer Academy loans horses to pleasure riding for $2.50 an hour. More than 400 acres are available at the academy for riding. Reservations generally are not needed for rental of horses, according to a Spencer emblume.
Western horsemanship lessons are available at the Academy for $4 an hour
Hayrack rides can be arranged at Spencer's for $25. The hayrack can carry about 20 persons, and the ride lasts two hours, he said.
