We moved to WinRow Farm two years ago and couldn't be happier! First, education: Amy Rosell takes…read morethe time to teach about horse maintenance, barn maintenance, and OHJA processes. She also has a network of some of the areas best equine experts from Farriers to surgeons. Second: no drama. Kids are there to learn, perform, and be part of something bigger than a lesson. Third: patience. Amy goes above and beyond trying to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each rider and gets them to understand how to get better. Fourth: participation in top shows, from Lexington KY, WEC, Traverse City, and local shows, there's a show for all levels. Fifth: lesson horses are amazing! And last: the barn is always immaculate and there is an abundance of pastures for turnout. We drive an hour one way (as do many of her students) for my daughters' lessons but know she's in good hands. The many foals delivered each year at the barns are a bonus for the kids and adults alike!

I purchased an OTTB from Win Row Farm and had a prepurchase exam done, except for x-rays, as I was…read moreassured by Amy that the horse was returned from the track (being told that this was one they had initially bred) only due to the fact that it was too slow and not interested in being a racehorse. The then-owner brought it back to Amy hoping it could have a second career as a hunter. The gelding passed the vet exam, bloodwork and flexion test, so I purchased him. I live out of state and had him shipped to me. The horse has had lameness issues shortly after purchasing. I've had him now for several years, had him on glucosamine/hoof care supplements for several years, glucosamine injections monthly now and now powdered bute. He's been x-rayed and found to have bone chips. I've tried to contact Amy by phone leaving a voice mail several times and texting her, and also emailing to see if there had been any previous x-rays performed being requested for review by my vet. NO RESPONSE!!! I then tried contacting her husband, Chris, by several methods. Again, NO RESPONSE!!!! This shows me they are not responsible horse sellers! I definitely do not recommend them.

Monet is an incredible instructor. I rode with her several years ago and am excited that she has…read morereturned to Ohio to share her knowledge. Monet will teach you the correct way to ride a horse. Exalt and Salute is an amazing facility and Monet is an amazing instructor. I have ridden with several instructors in the past and I love that Monet gets out there and walks/runs along side you so she can watch if you are riding correctly. She easily explains how the correct riding should "feel" and helps you learn your aids to where it makes sense! You wont see Monet sipping sweet tea sitting in the middle of the arena like other trainers. She will be out there helping you to learn because she is passionate about teaching.

I am very happy that I discovered Exalt & Salute. The facilities here are top notch. The care and…read morededication that I see for the horses, the equipment and the facility is beyond compare. I've ridden dressage since the mid-1980s, went to college and studied Equestrian Science and thought I knew much about the discipline. I took a break from riding when work and parenthood got in the way. I began riding with Monet about eight months ago and I can honestly say, with every lesson I'm learning something new! My brain and body are both challenged as we're building a more correct, and connected, foundation for my riding. No matter where a horse or rider is in their schooling, I highly recommend Monet Ward as an instructor and trainer!

I have volunteered at Sarajevo Farm (Springboro, OH) for over a year now. It took me several…read moremonths to identify an equestrian farm that met all of my expectations; a place that is family-oriented, responsible, caring and safe. After meeting the owner, Ms. Bobbie Henderson, and hearing her beliefs regarding teaching horses and people, I knew that I had found the right place for me. Bobbie believed that individuals should earn the right to ride; understand and bond with a horse, learn to ride utilizing natural horsemanship concepts and theories, and understand what it takes to own one of these beautiful creatures. Showing up just to ride does not provide the knowledge and skill needed to truly understand, and successfully ride a horse. Thus, everyone taking riding lessons 1) learns proper horse handling, grooming and tacking, 2) contributes to keeping the tack and barn clean (mainly light sweeping), and 3) carries out responsible behavior through learned leadership skills. Through this process, I've had the pleasure of observing young people with high anxiety, short attention spans, and self-assurance issues gain much-needed confidence when given the responsibilities of understanding and caring for a horse. It is absolutely amazing process to watch!! I believe in Sarajevo Farm, their purpose and instruction process, and hope to be with them for years to come.

Drove out there and ran into Sheila, the "barn manager." She claimed not to have gotten the messages I left. She said there was a boarder leaving soon and she would put me on the list. Great! She gave me her cell number and told me to feel free to check in. Well, a month later I called the number she gave me. No answer. I called the main number and left yet another message with my number. No answer. Finally, I texted Sheila (at this point, I'm not even sure who she is) and got a "wrong number" response. Why would she lie to me? What kind of way is this to run a business?
