Grey Gables Farm is proud to host Mary Baldwin College Physical Education class PHE 179 under the direction of Professor Irene Sarnelle. We started offering classes in conjunction with Mary Baldwin during spring semester of 2006. Since that time we have had a wide range of wonderful students,
from those who had never seen a horse "in person" to those who were very experienced "A level" show riders.
All classes are taught by Nicole Frazer. After an initial organization meeting, classes meet once a week at the farm for five weeks. May Term classes are twice a week for two weeks and once a week for the last week. Students are grouped by abilities and no class ever has more than three students at a time. Our preference is that classes have only two students as we believe this is the best learning experience for the student. We also make every effort to hold class during time slots that work well with student's academic schedules.
The organizational class for Fall Term 2010 will be held on Spetember 8, 2010 at 7 pm in the Physical Activity Center (PAC) room 106. At that time we will introduce ourselves and Instructor Nicole Frazer and go over the course syllabus, discuss all the logistics and paperwork and answer any questions students may have. We hope to start classes the week of 13th. Make up classes may be held depending upon scheduling issues. We look forward to meeting all the new students each term.
Feel free to email Grey Gables or Professor Sarnelle if you have any questions.
