I tend to be skeptical when meeting new professionals, and Vonda Hamilton is that… a professional. 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.
