As mist rose from the fields outside, the footfalls of hooves resounded evenly, inter spersed with the firm voice of instructor Mary Alice Farina. "Stomach up, keep your back flat," she admonished one student, and to another, "Use a tighter rein on the outside." Farina teaches dressage style riding, as opposed to hunt seat, in which riders sit more forward in the saddle and keep their stirrups shorter. The main premise of dressage, she explained, is to enable the horse to respond to subtle signals from the rider. Consisting of two adults and two children, the evening class was typical of Farina's group sessions. which she limits to four or five participants. There are also private and semi-private classes held at Glynhafen. In addition to dressage, in which she holds certification from the University of New Hampshire, Farina of fers instruction in western riding and carriage driving. About half of the stable's 40-odd mounts are Welsh ponies, which owner Glenda Armstrong rai8es. This year, Armstrong's stable is home to seven new colts, who frolic in the front paddock with their dams. In scheduling classes, Farina tries to match students by age and ability. Of a total of about 60 students, she said, the youngest is six, the oldest in her 70s. "A lot ride mainly for fun," she said, "some ride for show, and others want to make it a career." Horseback riding traditionally attracts more girls than boys until, as Armstrong pointed out "the boys finally figure out that all Jennifer LaChappelle leads ''Little the girls are at the horse shows."
