"The whole trick to the whole thing is to stay right along the wall, the whole way around," said Joy Underberg, instructor of the class.
About 50 RU students go to the stabble twice a week for hemorrhainship classes, HUPER 108, offered by the University.
Near the end of the class period; she instructed the students to stop their horses.
"When you stop, be sure to let up," Underberg said. "The let-up is a reward for paying attention. The pull-up is a punishment."
Brian Center, Manhattan senior, said he was taking the beginning Western horsemanship class because he had never seen a horse in school.
Underberg, owner of Triple A Jebrians, said she had been teaching the horsemanship classes for eight years. There are 11 sections of HPER108, she said, with no more than five students a section. The classes include beginning and intermediate sections of English and Western riding.

Tim VanNatta, Des Moines, Iowa, graduate student, said that he had taken an English riding course at Drake University but that he was taking the beginning Western riding class at KU to brush up on his skills. He said he also wanted to have an extracurricular activity and to get away from academics.

Underberg said the students paid a stable fee of $150 for the semester, which is approximately $4.50 a ride.
Uhberg said only 10 were used for teaching "the animals are hand-picked for their congeniality,"
"The University does not pay me as an instructor," she said. "So all I get is the $150. That's for the horse equipment and instruction."

The Berg said she enjoyed teaching the class.
"The beginning part where it is repetition of how to put the equipment on, it gets old," she said. "But I very much enjoy teaching people how to ride."
