Sports Students will begin this one-credit class with Safety Instruction, Equine Behaviorism, and the philosophy of "Natural Horsemanship." Students will learn skills such as correct leading, tacking, feeding and general working around horses in diverse situations. They will move on to managing the range of horse behaviors that occur on an average level such as aggression, fear, and spooky behavior. Students will learn unique skill sets that allow them to manage horses in difficult situations both on the ground and under saddle. This course differs from others in that students will delve specifically into behavior modification for horses that is not aggressive-or punishment-oriented in any way, but rather creates control through bonding and building trust between horse and rider. For this program, a student will be introduced to the available horses and will choose one to work with for the whole semester. This ensures that students can measure the goals and achievements that they attain during the course.

Sports In this one-credit class, students will learn the basic theory and techniques of 17th century Italian fencing using a sword called a Rapier. While some history will be taught to provide context, the majority of the class will be dedicated towards physical hands-on work. Classes will consist of a roughly even mixture of drill/lesson and sparring and will be presented from a martial arts and educational perspective rather than as a competitive sport. As a result, this fencing class is ideal for students who are seeking a physical activity outside of a team sport. All equipment will be provided.

Students must be able to wield a fly rod, wade in knee-deep running water, and come prepared to buy a Vermont non-resident fishing license at $41.00. All rods, reels, leaders and flies will be supplied.

Sports Plyometrics is a fast-paced, demanding, twice-weekly session for highly self-motivated athletically mature students wishing to improve their strength and conditioning for sports.

Sports This two credit course will cover various mountain bike riding techniques and allow students many opportunities to explore the beautiful and challenging local trails.

Depending on weather, weekend rides may be required; at least one Saturday day-long field trip to Mount Snow will also be scheduled. Students should plan to bring their own bike and gear if possible. LMC does have a limited number of mountain bikes for student use.

Sports As part of the curriculum, the course will draw from Red Cross courses in CPR, Standard First Aid and "when help is delayed". During the course, there will be three first aid simulations in which students will practice their skills. In this mode, students will put their learning to the test under controlled settings to give them the feel for real-life medical emergencies. Testing will be given on four separate dates, including a final exam and a skills assessment practicum.
