Arabians Top Notch Performance

Seen a few facilities. None like this. Met them at a show, less than personable. Not recomended. There are better out there for the money. more

I have been boarding and training with Top Notch for over 6 years now. I have had more than 10 horses boarded and trained at this facility over that time. The horses get the finest care, daily stall cleaning and 3x/day feeding, daily medical tending (if required) and a groom that lives in an apartment in the barn. Fun is important, but safety is a priority! Their spectator lounge offers comfortable seating in a safe environment even for small children. I have toured and worked with many show barns over the years, and by far this is a facility you can be proud to be a part of. The trainer and barn manager are two of the finest people I know. They go above and beyond for their clients and their horses every day! Their training program is up-to-date, competitive and national caliber quality. Training of the horse and rider is customized to the level required for horse and rider to show competitively. Everyone in this barns supports each other and our enthusiasm is contagious! I can only encourage anyone needing boarding or training services to check out this shining example of what a show barn is supposed to look like in the East Valley! more

I have two horses training at this barn and both are now qualified for Nationals in October. Christina is a national-caliber trainer with many years experience. She collaborates with other trainers regularly to keep her skills honed and her riders competitive! Safety is first and foremost for both the rider and the horses. Christina genuinely loves what she does and is tireless in her quest for excellence! She wants you to do well and have fun doing it! The facility and its staff are truly Top Notch! more

Chris and Cheryl are two the finest people you can meet. They are conscientious, professional and knowledgeable about horses, competition and getting the most our of training and lessons. They are patient and caring and always put safety first. While you may not always like what they have to say, they are keeping your best interests, as well as the horse, in mind at all times! You can't beat this team for a family-oriented experience! more

Ok, so recently I was checking out places to ride with and to board/train at and came across them. There rates are reasonable, and they were close as I recently relocated. What a MISTKE. Professional I think not! More like a back yard operation trying to make a buck off of people who are inexperienced. If you market your place as a safe fun family atmosphere, I think clients who have kids in lesson and cursing is unattractive and not family like in anyway! There are very few places to sit to watch their lessons. Their barn, what a disgrace, its wood thrown together inside of a rather large hay barn. The footing, HORRIBLE! Their round pen, have you seen the old metal above ground pool, yup that?s their round pen. Their place is not even marked when you drive up to it. Even worse, their trainer Christina is rude, but Cheryl, they will never get anywhere with her and her uncouth tactics. She?s so indecisive. Pros: Nothing Cons: Everything! more
