" my daughter attended hamilton stables horse camp in summer 2020 and fell in love with the people and the horses that call this magical place home. she began horse riding lessons with ashton shortly after camp ended and continues them to this day, she has learned so much in just one year. my daughter has learned about horse anatomy, horse care and maintenance, as well as how to tack a horse and many aspects of riding. I am truly amazed at the amount of progress she has made since our journey with hamilton stables began. my daughter loves going to lessons and would live at the stables if she could. not only has she learned a great deal about horses and riding, she has also found a place that feels like home. thank you ashton and mrs. vonda for all you do to make hamilton stables such an amzing place for my girl!

" Our daughter hayden had been interested in horses since the time she started to talk. a few years ago we decided to take her interest to the next level, so we contacted hamilton stables for riding lessons. we bought our first package of lessons with ashton. ashton is fabulous not only with kids but adults. she has taught hayden how to properly ride, tack, terminology, groom, names of horses, and how to properly care for the animals she loves so much. but most of all how to have fun while doing so. as months went on hayden was eager to be at the barn everyday for chores, grooming...really any excuse she could come up with. we soon found out that just riding horses wasn't going to be good enough for her. at that point we purchased our first hamilton stables horse from vonda, skylar! and then booger! we could not ask for better horses to know our kids will be safe with. over the past few years, our daughter hayden has grown in confidence all while learning responsiblitiy, so much from her experience with the horses and the kind and informative people at hamilton stables (our barn family) they welcomed us immediately with open arms and made us feel that we have always been a part of the group. thank you, ashton and vonda, for your willingness to support, help, listen and answer to all of our questions. but most of all for being a second family to us!

" I started out taking lessons as an adult woman. Everyone there brought me in just like family. I ended up buying and boarding 3 horses with them and now my family joins me and loves going to the stables. They are professional but also make you feel like friends and family. I highly recommend both the horses and the stables."

" our wedding gift to ourselves! we have been watching vonda hamilton and her daughter ashton gilbert for over ten years and seen all the beautiful level headed smooth gaited horses they have raised and trained and we finally had a chance to own one. she is a golden champagne walking horse, and is three months, two weeks, and four days old. i can't say enough how blessed we feel to have her as part of our family. we picked her up on our honeymoon trip to north carolina."
