Sons of the Wind Farm

"At Son's of the Wind, you'll discover an unparalleled setting for mastering the Art of Classical Dressage under the expert guidance of Vitor Silva, a renowned and exceptional instructor. His boundless passion and profound expertise shine through as he guides both the horse and the rider in an exquisite dance, providing clear explanations of each movement. Through his instruction, you'll develop a deep connection with your horse, refine your seat, and achieve the delicate balance of lightness in the reins.My training journey alongside Vitor and the equally remarkable instructor, rider and horse trainer, Maggie, has stretched over slightly more than two years. During this time, I forged incredible new friendships with boarders and guests and relished their extraordinary facilities in Massachusetts and Florida. I also had the incredible opportunity to acquire an exceptional Lusitano horse from them. Now, I embark on a multi-year odyssey of learning and personal growth in this captivating discipline."

"Sons of the Wind is an amazing learning experience for riders of any level. I felt I made years of progress in my own riding in a matter of days. The property itself is also breathtaking, a tranquil gem less than an hour from Boston. I highly, highly recommend spending at least three days at SOTW to soak up as much of Vitor’s wisdom and magic as you can."

"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."

"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!"
