They have a great partnership with folks who want to take riding lessons. I was an adult student there and couldn't have been happier! If I had a horse, these are the only people I would trust to board it. Extremely professional, knowledgeable, and just plain awesome folks. I really felt like I had lucked out when I rode there -- other places were less welcoming, uninterested in an adult student and the arena felt like it was a high school clique again. You will never experience that here!! Check out their website for the number for lessons. Or just jump in and lease a horse!! Some of my best days were spent coming home from here, smelling like leather and the horse. And don't forget to love on the dogs when you're there.

Everything seems ok upon initial contact we were told there were different camp week available this summer (2026) with different focus. We found two our son was interest in. the asked for a full week cost up from and 100.00 deposit on any additional weeks listed. So we paid for a week and added a deposit on the additional week. (525.00) My son went to the first day of the camp. when he was to get pick up he was up at the parking/lot driveway waiting. He did not have a good experience and indicated he was not going back. He said the other kids at camp (only 4 others) all seemed to know each other and it was very clique-y but that some were outright insulting. Not sure if any of this was heard by one of the counselors or the instructor, He decided that he was not going to participate in the last actvity of the day and wen to sit on a bench but was handed a broom so he could clean up the barn area.... Called to let them know he wasn't happy and that he would not return. asked for a pro-rated refund which i though was fair and was told that they have a policy to not give refunds, this "polcy" is not listed anywhere in any of the paper work that was signed. Since then they have ghosted and not answered calls, texts or emails. This is a shameful way to run a business.

My grandparents Robert & Barbara Evans originally owned and operated the farm for 25+ yrs, offering lessons, boarding, summer camps, horse shows and training which I was beyond lucky to have grown up there and rode until they sold the farm to retire when I was about 14. I still miss it and all the unbelievable memories. The current owners have welcomed me to come visit the farm anytime I'd like to. And i can not thank them enough for that opportunity.

I have been to Sons of the Wind twice at their Loxahatchee, FL location. Once last year and again…read morethis year. I had such a great time last year that I returned this year and brought 3 friends along. .. Unfortunately, this year's trip was not as positive as last years. On the positive side, the facility is beautiful, and the horses are wonderful. Where things fell apart a bit this year was in the lessons. There are three instructors, Vitor (the main instructor), Maggie, and Vincent. Vincent taught one of the group lessons (3 of us) and did a wonderful job. Clear and concise instruction, well balanced, and very informative. I took lunge lessons with Maggie and they were also excellent - exhausting but well worth it. Vitor struggled a bit more with time management - especially in the group lessons. In at least 3 of the lessons, he focused 80% of the time on one of the riders while the other riders just walked around. Then they got a few minutes at the end. In another lesson, he took a student off their lesson horse to show them how to do something on that horse and then spent at least 20 minutes schooling that horse (still not getting it do really do what he was asking) before getting off and having that student get back on to just walk around the rest of the lesson (the poor horse was completely fried by then). When he is focused on you and gives instruction, it is generally very good. That said, what really got to me was the response when I voiced my frustration with basically 30% of my lessons being pretty much a non-lesson. At the end of my last lesson, my frustration was pretty clear. When Maggie asked what was wrong, I expressed my frustration with the 3 lessons that were basically me auditing while sitting on the back of horse, the response I got was "I am sorry you feel that way" followed by "You don't need to come back". That just blew me away - instead of taking the feedback and saying "so sorry that happened, thank you for letting us know and we will work on that" - I basically get told to go find someplace else to go. That lack of concern and empathy for the people who have come here was disappointing to say the least. While they did reimburse me for the three lessons, that wasn't the point and not what I requested. This did nothing for the other individuals who were impacted by this. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I cannot recommend them anymore.

I have nothing but the absolute best to say about Vitor Silva, everyone that works for him, and the…read morefacilities at Sons of the Wind (SotW). Riding with Vitor has been a transformative experience for me, not just because riding one of his Lusitano schoolmasters is like nothing I had experienced before, but because I was finally able to begin to take what I'd learned by watching for so long and do something with it. He presents information in a way that is easy to understand, is patient, and I feel completely comfortable asking about anything I do not understand. And when you ride one of the SotW schoolmasters, it is evident how much time has been spent with each horse so that they too have something to teach us and as a result, you are able to get the most out of your ride. The facilities at SotW are simply wonderful and although I could spend several paragraphs elaborating, I'll instead recommend checking out their website where all of the facility details are available in detail. I also want to highlight the SotW staff who are uncompromising when it comes to providing exceptional care to the animals as well as the maintenance of the facilities. Their overall attention to detail and their ability to work as a team is second to none. I have been a boarder here and I have the utmost confidence in the care being provided by SotW. You hear many stories in the horse world and I am glad to be somewhere that is filled with dedicated professionals who do not cut corners and who take great pride in everything that they do. I wholeheartedly recommend SotW and urge you, whether you are interested in learning about classical dressage or in need of training for your horse, to contact them for more information.

They use furniture movers to have the kids pull or push their legs for strength and conditioning as an example. After a recent meet, they realized that the girls were talking extra steps on the floor routines so they placed hula hoops on the floor and made the kids stay in them to realize their steps. Autumn is so helpful and friendly at the front desk and the coaches are very nice to the kids as well as the parents. They have welcomed us to their family and we are grateful to them. Be careful when you are selecting a local gym as you have several to choose from. This place has unripped mats, it doesn't have a known pest issue and the coaches are not grumpy and aloof to the people paying them good money! We made the incorrect choice approximately 4 years ago but it is better late then never!

Watch out for dog walkers who don't use leashes. I've had near collisions with dogs. Most people are friendly and respectful. Local advice: park in the tiny lot by Chase Lane (look for the white fence along 33). It's a nice ride from there. Cool fields and a few narrow bridges. Most trails are on trailforks. Most fun trail is Dead Fish, perhaps USA Today too.

They went above snd beyond to make sure all of our questions were answered, were quick to respond to any texts, and they made my partner and I feel so incredibly welcome! We stayed in The Den which was such a cozy little place. The whole space was very well thought out, bed was quite comfortable and there were even some fresh eggs waiting in the fridge for us! The cedar soaking tub they had was such a lovely addition and it was so great to use after a long full day. They also had an entire welcome binder outlining local restaurant, attractions, and other places of interest. The on-site yoga classes and farm store (with fresh muffins, baked bread and local crafts) were just the cherry on top!!! All of this doesn't even mention how incredibly convenient the location was, when we stepped out of our door, you wouldn't know that you were only a 15 or so minute drive from Portsmouth because it really was such a peaceful, calming place. All around if we have ANY reason to be staying in or around Portsmouth again, you can bet I won't be looking any further than Shilo Farm!!!

When we arrived and we were driving down Shiloh Farms driveway, Amylyn was waving us in and it was just a wonderful welcome to a fun farm experience! Jonas came out to welcome us and they both asked if we wanted to meet their dog Shasta...they explained she's big but friendly. She was; and so happy and silly, we even got her to roll over. This farm feels well protected with this beautiful girl manning the farm. In any event they showed us around and everything is so well designed and everywhere you walk there is art. I love farm swings as I remember them at my grandparents farm and one of their swings fit both of us and we had a blast swinging amongst the friendly chickens, singing and laughing. I just felt healthier amongst all the nature and beauty and had no idea how much the sounds of a farm would delight us. This was exactly the unique farm experience I was seeking for my kiddo. She chose a farm experience over amusement park experience or more beach time and here we couldn't get away from the animals, in a great way. Goats, chickens (so happy and fun), cats, and of course Shasta and friendly proprietors that went out of their way for my kiddo. We fully intended to use the fire pit but the first day we had been at the beach all day and conked out early. And the second night was rainy and we were tired from a lot of travel but we did have an excellent night sleep, listening to the rain. And with the yoga, I never inquired as we do some at home on YouTube and I'm awkward doing it and really we're here for the animals. We just got done running with the goats and collecting eggs from the chicken coop, all the while being educated in a kid friendly way about the animals, their food, the different species, and all about the different colored eggs. Fascinating. And BONUS, they shared/gave my daughter a little book about one of their goats, named Olaf that is about bullying and conquering it and a coloring book she spent a-lot of time on yesterday . I can't thank Amylyn and Jonas enough for providing such an interactive, relaxing, and fun time at a beautifully designed property that delights the eye with all the art (much created from trees and other resources on the property. Their love of animals, their farm, each other and what they do makes for a warm and loving experience. Their stories about the animals are so cool- their chickens don't get eaten, they live their full lives, and what happy and healthy chickens they are. Luna, the goat had a stroke a while back and they lovingly got her back in action after quite the recovery. Happy people doing what they love on this farm. We are lucky they love it so much they want to share it The location is AMAZING.. a couple miles from gorgeous beaches (that's definitely my thing so we got the best of both worlds here) Pics are on the way
