Sons of the Wind Farm

I had an incredible experience at Sons of the Wind Farm. Vitor, Maggie, and the whole team were so welcoming, easy-going, and helpful. They put me right at ease the minute I arrived. The house is spacious, charming, and super-clean and the other guests were an absolute treat to meet. The horses are unbelievable - truly. I'm not sure how else to put it. My riding experience was nothing short of phenomenal. I learned so much from Vitor and his horses. Including that I have a LOT more to learn! Vitor always made time to patiently answer all my questions; his love for the horses and the sport are obvious and translate into deep care for his guests as well. I can't wait to return to build on what I accomplished. If you can make time for the 5 day program I highly recommend it. Things didn't start to really come together for me until after day 3! If you are lucky enough to be in a position to ride at Sons of the Wind Farm book it. You won't regret it.

Incredible experience! Wonderful horses, instruction, accommodations and people. I learned more than I could have ever expected. Allowing one to learn on such talented well cared for horses made all the difference to bring back home and improve my overall understanding of dressage.

The equestrian experience at Sons of the Wind is unparalleled in quality. Vitor Silva is truly a master, and one with genuine passion...not only for riding and also for bringing out excellence in his students. I learned so much in 5 days of riding. I have done similar types of holidays but NOTHING compares to this experience. The horses are amazing, and Vitor is incredibly challenging and a font of knowledge. The staff and grooms are all so kind and supportive, and they go out of their way to make this a dream holiday. If you want to ride world class horses, improve your riding and have a truly memorable equestrian experience, you can't do better than Son's of the Wind. Vitor Silva and the Son's of the Wind sojourne reminded me that dressage riding is an "art," not just a sport.

Sons of the Wind is truly a Classical Dressage School. Vitor is amazing with all levels of riders. He is able to refine your seat and teach you how to really ride in a balanced and correct way. His talented and kind Grand Prix trained School Masters are also amazing. If you want to obtain the skills and confidence to become a better rider, this is the place!

Without a doubt, my riding took the largest step forward I have ever taken during my three days with Sons of the Wind Farm. I brought home many new tools and confidence in my new knowledge, and my horse has already responded well--we feel and perform like a new team! I also want to mention the welcoming and friendly environment at the barn. There is class and attention to detail everywhere, from the horses to the history, but Vitor and Maggie still maintain a down-to-earth and grounded learning experience. This is not a small feat in the horse world. I enjoyed meeting everyone: the grooms, other clients, Maggie and Vitor, and especially the consummately professional horses. If you are considering lessons, do it!

From start to finish, this has been an absolutely amazing experience for me. Vitor’s incredible patience, talent, and clarity is truly appreciated. He generously shares his prodigious talent with those of us that wish to learn. Although I have been riding and training dressage for many years and have two of my own horses, the opportunity to ride horses of this caliber and skill is invaluable. I learned so much in 3 short days, and I can’t wait to go back. Additionally, the grounds are lovely, the house is great, and everyone is friendly…we had so much fun! Thank you Vitor, Maggie, and everyone at Sons of the Wind Farm.
