OUR REVIEWS
I have been training with Sacha for a few years on a couple of different horses from Novice to Advanced Medium. She is a very supportive and positive coach with a huge depth of knowledge from training/competing several of her own horses to high levels. I find this means she is excellent at explaining everything to me and breaking it all down, keeping an eye on both shorter and longer term goals. It also means she is excellent at maximising competition performance.

Sacha has a wealth of knowledge in dressage and para dressage! Helping me achieve a national title, a place on the World Class Para Podium Potential Squad and excel talent programme from 2014 - 2016 and success at international level. She has excellent understanding of developing young horses and has helped me gain a relationship with my new young para horse ‘Rabbit’. I wouldn’t be where I am without your help - Thank you x

I moved to Sacha's around two years ago with my boy who is 'challenging' and very spritely despite being 20 years old... Sacha and her team always ensure he is handled with care and also on his best behaviour. I travel from Monday-Friday so can only come down at the weekend and I have never felt so comfortable or confident in a livery yard to look after him whilst I'm gone. The facilities are perfect and Sacha is an extremely skilled instructor who always pushes me to a new level whilst ensuring we work at the correct pace for his ageing body. Thankyou for everything!

I arrived at Sacha Hamilton Equestrian in April 2012 with Cheating Chance, a horse that was completely new to me.
It was all very daunting for us as we both lacked confidence. All I had done in the past was hack out and Chance was an ex-racehorse so we lacked education, but this was all about to change.
Chance settled very quickly in to life at Austen's Stables and I decided it was time to get the most out of my lovely new horse but I wasn't going to be able to do this on my own, so I started having lessons with Sacha. Though it has been hard work my confidence has grown and Chance has changed from being quite nervous and tense to a beautiful and very capable horse.
Over the last few months it has become clear that the happiness and welfare of all the horses in Sacha's care is her top priority. The yard is immaculate and ever horse looks happy and content, you couldn't wish for better for your horse.
The help, advise and support we received from Sacha and her team has been amazing, and we are both so pleased we moved there.

Being extremely cautious about where my horse lives, what side of the world his stall faces, is he fed the highest quality feed? being the one who comes to stables and examines if horses hair sits correct way and what mood horse is in, was everything bandaged rugged and done correct way and so on?. I am a living nightmare of any badly run stable manager. And I found serenity in Sacha's extremely well run yard. Horse finally got relaxed and had his confidence back to the level where we won 2 second places in our first outing after over year post injury recovery. Not without Sacha's highest level of professionalism in spotting exactly what needs to be improved for those vital extra marks that propels you to the top in competition. To add a very knowledgeable and honestly caring Sacha's approach to everything, including smallest detail of your horse live, no nonsense atmosphere in stables and relaxed and friendly people - and you get a picture of a place where horses and people are generally happy. I learned a lot during my time there and am very grateful for all support, help and advice. We are moving to warmer pastures of South of France, but if we will be ever back in London, Sacha's yard will the the destination for the horse to be without a question.

My introduction to Sacha Hamilton Equestrian came some 3 years ago through a friends recommendation.
I made a visit to the yard, where I was greeted by Sacha and shown around. My first impression of the yard is still how I view it 3 years on.
Sacha is very experienced and knowledgeable in her field and this shows through her hard work and the commitment of her team and how her yard is run.
I keep my youngsters at home and send them to Sacha to be backed and ridden away. One horse in particular 'Ruby' was only suppose to be at the yard for 3 months........over a year later she is still there!!!!!!
She is so happy and content. I have a young family so it isn't always easy to give Ruby 100% of my time but I know she is in safe hands. She has been out cross country, show jumping, dressage, hunting, all this arranged by Sacha. It so reassuring to know that I have such fantastic back-up when I need it.
I also have a lesson every week with Sacha, who must have the patience of an saint.......her enthusiasm has just been so encouraging for both me and Ruby. I could never have done any of this without her and her fab team.
I can say hand on heart, its the best decision I have made where my horses are concerned. Sacha Hamilton Equestrian is an absolute 'Gem' of a yard.
