My name is Tracie Ruzicka. I am the owner and head riding instructor at Rivendell Riding Academy. I have been teaching horseback riding since my time as a "B" in the Millbrook Pony Club. My husband, Jon and I have built and maintained the farm for the last 23 years. Our two children, Harrison and Prudence rode to high levels in eventing and showjumping growing up. I teach beginners as well as through the Training Level in eventing. I operate the farm to allow others to enjoy riding and handling ponies and horses as much as I do. Rivendell is a family place where everyone is encouraged to participate.

My name is Meg Gallo. I am 20 years old and have had horses all of my life. I have been riding and competing with Rivendell for the last ten years, I began teaching last year. Growing up I was involved in 4H horse clubs and now I am a 4H leader. I am a full time college student. I truly enjoy spending time and teaching children.

My name is Kailey Vandeyar. I came to Rivendell to learn to ride when I was eleven. I became a working student when I turned twelve and came up through the ranks at Rivendell. I leased a horse and competed successfully through the Training level in Combined Training. I began teaching five years ago. Besides living and working at the farm, I am also pursuing a career in Ceramic Art. I really enjoy my time in the studio, but showing people how to ride and dealing with all the horses is a great job.
