Topline Horse Center

"Topline is our barn and a place our daughter loves so much! The personalized attention and small barn family is what we love. Pauline, the owner and trainer is the best is the business and has a clear and consistent style when training all riders. Edit as of 8/29/23: This has been our barn for almost 8 years. I see the two AWFUL reviews are 2 people who have actually never ridden at, visited, or competed with Topline, and seem to know nothing about the fact that the barn's owner is a professional farrier who takes care of dozens of horses in the Hampton Roads area. As our daughter moves toward collegiate riding, you will find that Pauline is THE BEST trainer in this area. Her reputation is solid, her horses are well-loved and taken care of. Are horse people social? No. Are they here to wake up and please you? No. Are they they here to make sure your child is safe, well-trained, loved and supported? EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. I suggest you ask at other barns who is actually training your child and their experience. It's not the same. WE LOVE TOPLINE!"

"My daughter has been at Topline for 4 years now. Moving from once a week lessons, to twice a week/competing and now owning and boarding here. I cannot say enough about the trainer/owner. She cares for the horses like no other barn I have seen. She is on-site and knows the habits of each and every horse. Lessons are safe and sound. The level of instruction is high and the attention to detail is second to none. My daughter loves to ride at Topline and continues to grow and excel in the sport under Pauline’s expertise and direction."

"I am a student who takes lessons at Topline horse center and I personally love it there. The owners are very kind, sweet, and understanding. Almost everybody at the barn will treat you like family. The horses are also very well trained."

"Topline is an amazing show barn and boarding facility. If you’re looking for a great lesson barn this is the place! Horses are well taken care of and very loved. And if you have horses that need their feet done, they also have a farrier on site, who also travels. We love the farrier and trainers and have used them for over a decade."

"This place looks nothing like the website. Horses are living in a mud pit, crammed in small areas, seen some with blanket on them instead of fly protector in 88 degree weather, standing in weeds and mud are NOT good for hooves or ligaments and bones, they have absolutely no grazing, no acreage, and the community is fed up. It’s a eye sore to our beautiful area. The church owns the property when I looked up public record so hoping they step in and do the right thing. They are grandfathered in our county but clearly out of codes. Some military people almost put their horses there pending the website, arrived, and was so thankful they didn’t sign the contract. Shady, shady stuff. Do your research please."
