This review is for the dog boarding service of Lindenau Farm. We have used their dog boarding…read moreservice for almost two years now, and there is no one I trust more to care for my dogs than Sarah and Mike. Sarah used to be a vet tech, and knows so much about dogs, as far as behavior, care, and nutrition. She actually loves our dogs like her own, and it shows by our dogs enthusiasm when we are headed to her house. We can't even mentioned her name, because my dog gets so excited. The dogs have a huge fenced in area to play outside, and get to see horses. They come home exhausted, and sleep like the whole next day. We pack their food and drop off at an established time. She or Mike are always there for pickup or drop off. We pay by Venmo, which is really convenient. She sends us videos of our dogs playing outside during their time there, and will text us any concerns. This is the absolute best dog boarding facility in the area.

My daughter started riding here last fall. Kristina is patient, attentive, and friendly with kids…read more We were referred here by a friend whose family had stables growing up. I highly recommend Wild Wind for lessons. They also offer boarding, which seems to be well cared for. However, since I do not have Horse /Stable experience, this is only what I observed in their care for the horses while we visited for lessons.

5 stars plus for this fantastic stable which was once a renowned banquet hall called Restland…read moreFarms. Kristina Vine is the owner/instructor and she is Fabulous with a capitol F for lessons. She takes her time, is super attentive, tough but also supportive and never an instructor that yells. My daughter has been riding here for over 5 years and still loves it. There are boarding facilities in the "lower" barn which has its own brand new indoor riding ring, and lesson horses are in the "upper" barn which also has its own indoor riding ring with a sand floor. The upper riding ring is the old banquet hall and has the same large windows, spotlights and even the disco ball from the halls heyday. Birthday horse parties are fantastic we have attended 3 here and Kristina does an awesome job. First time lesson goers need a helmet (bike will do at first) and heeled shoes, this would honestly be the best place ever to start your horseback riding.

I took a half hour lesson with Jessica and wrote out a check for $50. My check was changed to $65…read more I asked about this and 1st was told the price for a one hour private lesson was $65. I said I only rode for 30 minutes. So I was then told that assistance in tacking up a horse is an additional $15!! I called the owner Kristen who stated "assistance" with tacking up a horse is $65 and it IS on their web page. It is not. I am totally disgusted. Kristen was on speakerphone and my husband heard the entire conversation and could not believe her tone of voice to me. She continuously cut me off from speaking and told me I was very defensive. She then called back and said she would refund me the $15. It is not the money, but the principle that they should be totally clear on their pricing.

My daughter recently 'moved' to Full Circle Farm to follow her instructor who went to work here…read more At first, we had some reservations because the barn, riding rings, stalls, lobby and even the lounge are much more posh than we had experienced at our previous facility. We (mistakenly) thought that the boarders, staff/management, and fellow schoolers would be snobbish and exclusionary. We were pleasantly surprised to find that just because it's situated on a gorgeous hilltop location with indoor and outdoor lighted rings, immaculate stalls and superior quality school horses, that the folks here are down-to-earth and outgoing. Even the dogs are friendly! They have an exceptional IEA (Interscholastic Equestrian Association) Team which allows Junior High and High School age riders to compete all over the state. Plus, the Farm is centrally located so it's easy to get to. For us, it's a perfect fit. If we currently owned a horse, as we have in the past, this is where we would want it to be. The animals are clean and kept busy (but not overworked). The stalls all have run outs and are solidly built to keep them warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Indicative that the mounts are happy is the fact that there is not a lot of cribbing, wall kicking and general aggressiveness. Everybody just seems to get along! 'Horse People' can be a crazy bunch, however while we're at FCF we feel very much at ease and at home, like we are welcome guests instead of an intrusive imposition. I would highly recommend this equestrian haven for any hunter/jumper enthusiast who wants tip-top care of their horse and a nice place to enjoy everything about riding. A nice advantage to their spot on a hill is that there are so few flies and wonderful views all around! UPDATE: THERE WAS RECENTLY A CHANGE IN THE OPERATION OF THE BARN. THEY HAVE DROPPED THEIR IEA PROGRAM AND DECIDED THAT THE FACILITY IS FOR HORSE OWNERS ONLY. SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT FOR OUR TEAM AND ITS SUPER COACH. MAYBE THEY WEREN'T MAKING ENOUGH MONEY FROM THE SHOWS, WHICH WERE ALWAYS WELL ATTENDED. MY QUESTION IS HOW WILL FUTURE EQUESTRIANS HONE THEIR SKILLS WITHOUT ACCESS TO QUALITY SCHOOLING? LIKE SO MANY BUSINESSES, THEIR SHORTSIGHTEDNESS WILL LEAD TO FEWER ABLE RIDERS AND THEREFORE FEWER PATRONS WHO REQUIRE BOARDING. REALLY TOO BAD THAT THEY'RE NOT LOOKING AT THE BIGGER PICTURE. WITH SUCH AN ABRUPT CHANGE IN POLICY, I WOULD SAY THAT I WOULD **NOT** TRUST MY HORSE TO BE STABLED HERE. IF THEY'RE WILLING TO JETTISON AN ENTIRE GROUP OF LOYAL CUSTOMERS IN SUCH AN OFFHAND MANNER, WHAT'S TO SAY THEY WOULDN'T ABRUPTLY CHANGE OTHER POLICIES RELATIVE TO THE WELL BEING OF THE ANIMALS IN THEIR CARE? UNTRUSTWORTHY IS THE WORD THAT COMES TO MIND HERE.
