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.
