At Rustling Wind we offer lessons for everyone ages 5 and up. You may schedule half hour or one hour appointments with one of our instructors.
Currently we have three instructors, all licensed and very qualified adults with several years of experience in teaching from the most beginner to upper level riders. At Rustling Wind we offer showing however we are not just a show barn and encourage pleasure riders to join us as well. Our goal is to create well trained horses and competent riders in the show ring or on the trails.
Terri Lamothe is the head instructor and manager of Rustling Wind. Terri lives on the property and oversees all daily operations as well as traveling to shows with students. She has 30 years experience in the show horse world, riding as a child with top professionals in everything from Hunter Ponies to the Big Eq. and jumpers. Terri teaches many of the people that are showing. She most enjoys coaching at all of the shows and working with people that have green projects. The most satisfying thing for her is to see a young horse transform into a well trained athlete.
Sarah Garber also teaches at Rustling Wind. Sarah grew up in upstate New York, riding and showing hunters and equitation then riding at college on the school team. She has 20 years experience as an instructor. Sarah teaches most of the beginner to intermediate lessons. Her extensive knowledge, endless patience, great organizational skills and calm approach to starting riders makes riding a very pleasant and rewarding experience.
