Horseback-riding lessons came into vogue during Hollywood's Golden Age, when producers of Westerns realized that John Wayne was too heavy to be supported by a tapir. Make "The Duke" proud with today's Groupon for a one-hour horse-riding lesson at Morning Star Equestrian Services. As a full-service boarding facility that also sells and leases horses, Morning Star Equestrian Services takes pride in its well behaved, talented equines, many of which are between 15 and 17 years old. Because horseback-riding is like learning a new language, Morning Star Equestrian Services’s instructors focus on opening the lines of communication between horse and rider. Lessons cover basic horsemanship in addition to general horse care, safety, and grooming techniques. Using headsets, instructors and students maintain constant contact during the lesson, with the veteran voice offering tips, encouragement, and up-to-the-minute quotes on the market price of hay. All ages and skill levels are welcome and no more than three students are enrolled in any lesson, allowing all guests to get an earful of knowledge, straight from the trainer's mouth.
