Still a really friendly business - including owner, staff and boarders. Overall cleanliness of the barn (it's all relative, right?) is great - everything is ship shape and tidy - and there are always little things that show continuous effort to keep everything orderly. Horses get fantastic care, boarders are happy. All in all - a good business.

Wether you want to…read morego in to a competitive sport, buy/sell a horse, english, western, or just because you love horses, then this is the barn for not only you; but everyone. It is the most gorgeous, and quite place. Everyone is family and there is new opportunities to exceed everyday, not only while working with the horses, but yourself. They have the best most experienced trainers and facility. Their horses are top notch, and willing to make you too. This is a relaxed environment specializing in many disciplines of the equine. I bored my horse here, am on their competitive hunter jumper team, and I would never imagine leaving. I've meet so many people, and willing to call all of them my family and best friends. I find myself wanting to go to Cross Winds more than going home. I consider this my 2nd home.

Christy Nahser is one of the most kind human beings I have ever met. I have know her for more than…read more25 years . At times I have known her to find a cat on the side of the road, or a goose, or dog and certainly horses, and take them in or to the vet and nurse them back to health. She is for sure a horse whisperer, I have never know such care and compassion she shows to each and every horse that is in her care at her barn. If you are looking to board your horse or take riding lessons Christy Nahser is the best out there! If you just need a place to be at peace for anxiety or depression just being at Chrislin Farms will give you peace! Looking into the horses eyes is something special.
