As soon as they arrived to the facility, my mare was placed in the stall, and was offered hay and water. I forgot to pay Dan, and he never asked about it! I felt so bad, but I did follow up with paying them nearly a month later!!! They were so kind and gracious and I was eternally grateful for their patience and kindness. I highly recommend this farm for boarding and training horses of all disciplines and levels. The facility is gorgeous, clean and filled with people of all levels and disciplines, and the owners are readily available to help anyone at nearly any time. We are very lucky to have such a great facility in the western MASS area.

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.

Barn provides access @ 2,500 feet away to the best bar none equine trail system and major wildlife area in CT: Roraback Wildlife Management Area. Intangibles beyond the concrete: Boarders are adults who are congenial, respectful and live-and-let-live people. No politics, no religion, low key--little hyperventilating. Some boarders show, some trail ride, most do both. Kids and teens take lessons and more. They're polite and not in your face.856

Pony parties are a great activity.. the package usually allocates 2hrs for the party, 1hr for the horse ride (unlimited kids and unlimited rides) in an indoor arena and 1hr for food,cake and presents... it's about $200 for 3 horses & $25 for additional horses. The rooms are equipped with a refrigerator, table& chairs all you need to bring are decorations cake and pizza... that make it easy-peasy! The stables are well maintained and clean...Additionally, they also provide horse boarding, summer camps ($250 a week), and riding lessons. I was there while they had lessons and I thought they provided really good attention to the rider... I think summer camps would be a gr8 way to start off for my tot and see if it evolves into something more.

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.
