Outdoors HORSES from page 3 16 school horses. Stable manager George Bryson thinks the horses have been well-suitecl for the classwork. "We have some that are good for beginners and some that are green for more advanced riders," he said. Katherine Fuller, a senior from Danville, Va. agrees that the horses have worked out well. "I think the horses are excellent" she said. "There seems to be a different level horse for every different rider." It is a good thing that the horses cover a wide range in terms of skill because the students riders vary from the level of rank beginner to current show rider. This diversity caused a few initial problems in that some classes contained both beginning and advanced students. The instructors have managed to get around the problem, and they hope the next semester they will not have to worry about it. "We're trying to equalize numbers and leveling for next year," Courter said. "We have the courses leveled ahead of time this time so students can fit them into their schedules." Despite the growing pains the stable has experienced in. the first semester of the program, Courter said she has had nothing but positive feedback from students. Ward, one of her students, said that both the time and the money have been worth it. "I have really enjoyed it," she said. "I think it has been a good break away from school and campus arid studying, a good release." Fuller, a beginner at the start of the semester, vouches for the quality of instruction. "I feel like I know something about it now," she said. "There is a lot more to riding than just sitting on a horse." Though there really is an awful lot involved in the hunt seat in riding that the stable teaches, Courter said that grading her students may be tough. "It seems to me that any student that tries his best should be given an 'A'," she said. With all the work at Hunters Isle, Courter and Alston may well have trouble even finding the time to fill out any grade sheets. Besides the UNC classes, the stable also coordinates the Duke Intercollegiate Riding team which competes on a show circuit against other N.C. and Va. colleges. Regular lessons for non-students are offered on Saturdays, and the 40 horses the stable owns or boards require a lot of care. The stable staff also somehow finds time to participate in ome foxhunting during the fall season. Advanced UNC students are invited to lease a Hunter's Isle horse and ride along as guests of the Red Mountain Hunt ; If it sounds like Hunter's Isle is a stable with everything to offer it is. Fittingly enough for a bam owned by the Kenan family, there is even a horse named Tar Heel. Stephanie Graham is a staff writer for The Daily Tar Heel. POND from page 8 On we pressed into the scenic wilderness, which incidently is classified among North Carolina's top five undeveloped parks. Not even a ranger or water patrolman in sight The inexperienced canoeist might have some trouble. Soon we realized it was 3:45 p.m. and the canoes had to be returned by 4:15 p.m. Which way did we come? Oh, don't worry, I said, the sun was behind us when we left so it should be facing us on the return. One small problem where was the sun? That 'hint in the forecast was fast approaching and the sun was playing a serious game of hide-and-seek behind some dark clouds. Around and around we canoed, must have covered half of those lusicious 600 acres twice. But it all looked the same the trees, the shoreline, the red and green aquatic plants. "Help us! We're really lost" But fellow canoeists just glided on by, some taking shelter from the first sprinkles, none offering more than a smile or hello to four crazy col lege kids. One canoe did whisk by and offer some assistance. I spotted one of those little red marker flags on the back. "Follow that IMAGINE TYPING YOUR MANUSCRIPT ONLY ONCE!

They shouted that the way back was "just around the corner' and they were gone. The monsoons came. Yes, we got soaked. Terrific, I thought. All I needed was to pay for a borrowed waterlogged Canon and zoom lens plus my new contact lenses,, which probably would float out of my eyes when the canoe filled with water, turned over and we had to swim for the shore. But I since I figured beforehand never to trust the -weatherman, I put the camera in a plastic bag brought for such an occasion.
