This class will show the amount of care required of a dragon. Generally this will be done in groups of candidates and with more then one dragon at a time.
Candidates will be shown how to properly clean a dragon from headknobs to tail ends followed by the proper way to oil a dragon (rubbed into the hide and not lathered on like butter).
They'll be shown where a dragon eats (and will probably be witness to a dragon taking down a herdbeast from a distance). The Candidate Master will also explain that a young dragon will require them to have smaller food, and that while the Kitchen staff will do the majority of work for them, they are still expected to do some of it as well.
A Rider will also demonstrate how the straps work on a dragon and how to successfully strap bags of firestone to his dragon's riding straps. If the Rider is feeling generous, he'll also demonstrate his dragon and flaming.
