I have been a boarder with Hamilton Stables for several years now; nearly a decade. The Hamiltons…read moreare a great family who are steeped in decades of horse experience, lessons, breeding and instructing. Ashton is a very competent and professional horse trainer and lesson provider. Vonda, her mom, has been involved in the horse industry for decades, and renders truthful advice, instruction and experience to her credit. Both ladies are exceedingly well-versed in their craft. The quality of stock produced at this facility is superior to most other facilities I have been to. The board fees are well worth the price; it includes worming, trims, feed, supplements and around-the-clock observation. One is hard-pressed to find that kind of price for board, including all the extras! I paid over $500 a month per horse in Colorado Springs, CO and $400 a month in Puyallup, WA. Neither location included worming, trims or additional feed. Vonda has personally designed a variety of feed for the horses that includes all the necessary ingredients needed for all horses on the property. She regularly requests composition tests to ensure the proper nutrients are measured and added into the feed she offers. There are trail rides every weekend when the weather is good. There are also plenty of arenas in which to ride. The boarders are all friendly and treated like family, often we celebrate the holidays as an extended family. Contrary to another review, the training offered at Hamilton Stables for horses is done to the desired end results requested by the horses' owners. I have NEVER seen a horse abused on the property. If a horse in training is behaving in such a way as to endanger the rider, then the crop is applied at the appropriate time. When training foals to lead, yes, they rear, sit and lie down; they don't always go willingly. It's similar to teaching a puppy how to walk on a leash, only on a much larger scale. Having taught my own to lead, I can tell you it is no easy task. I have helped and witnessed several weanlings go through lead rope training; no foal has been injured learning to lead. This is a great facility, run by caring and experienced people, who love horses and open their home to their boarders. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great place to trust with their horses.

I tend to be skeptical when meeting new professionals, and Vonda Hamilton is that...a professional…read more It seems like everyone in any business wants to tout their credentials. In my professional life as a military pilot and civilian engineer paper (degrees/certifications) hasn't always been a good indicator of knowledge level or capability. Vonda has the paper and the experience though you would have to research that as she won't mention it. After knowing Vonda for several years I can say without reservation that she is the most knowledgeable and forthright person I have ever met in the horse business. If she says something it is a considered statement based and her education and vast experience. Her advice has yet to lead me astray. I am very happy we are able to board our horses at Hamilton stables as they did not always take on boarders. I know our horses will always receive the best of care there, from day to day feeding and supplements, to worming, farrier services, and even minor veterinary care Vonda and her staff are always there 24/7. When I am in town we often go on trail rides from the stables to the Cape Fear or Black rivers. Training is available for both horse and rider and Vonda's breeding program has produced many champions...if you want to talk lines and genetics she can go there.

After multiple trips back to the same vet for 2 years we were then told it isn't his thyroid it is allergies, after trying multiple allergy meds our poor dog was still scratching everywhere. It was time to try a different Vet, we are so glad we did. Our dog has had a skin infection all this time, All Animals diagnosed our dog and gave him the correct medicine, within 2 days ALL itching has stopped. The medicine seemed pricy at $65, checked Amazon and the cheapest was the same price - $65. Everything was done with ONE visit. I very seldom leave reviews; I would give 10 stars if I could. After over 2 years of our dog in complete misery, AAVH diagnosed him correctly the first time. We have 2 dogs, it is so good to know they are both finally in good hands when need be.

I called recently for a rehire and learned that I would not only need to reprint her materials but was treated in a grossly rude manner when I stated that I didn't have the ability to print something from home at the moment. She offered alternatives disdainfully, and actually had the gall to ask me if I could have my mother print it out for me (I am a 40 year old professional). This is after her original exhaustive procedure for beginning service during which I was told "customers call me and we take care of them when they are already out of town." I guess they left without calling previously but remembered to print out paperwork. Anyway, she was ugly enough for me to want to write this review. I'd worry about my animals in the care of someone that doesn't want to keep their customers.
