TESTIMONIALS:

 

"Sarah Watson/Watson Equestrian is the consummate professional. She has a deep knowledge of how to bring the best out in horse and riders. She is a talented trainer and gives her horses complete confidence, thereby enabling them to perform at their best."

 

 

"Both of my parents were professionals in the hunter/jumper industry for decades and my grandfather the Devon Horse Show official veterinarian for many many years. As a result, I know this industry well and have very high standards when it comes to the care and training of my horses. I have known Sarah Watson for many years now. Over those years she has remained exactly the same: honest and genuine; incredibly gentle with all the horses she trains; understands that each horse is a unique individual that needs its own specific program that best suits that horse's needs; not only a beautiful rider, but softly effective; and most of all has an unparalleled love for her horses and riders. There are very few trainers in this county I would ever leave my horses with or allow him/her to ride and Sarah is one if them! I trust her implicitly and very highly recommend her!" 

 

"Sarah is a dedicated trainer who takes excellent care of both her horses and clients. A true coach, her lessons build a foundation of riding skills that allow her clients to be successful in both the hunter and jumper rings. As an amateur returning to the sport postpartum, Sarah helped me overcome a lot of fear around jumping and enabled me to return successfully to the show ring, finishing third in our division statewide. More than that, she gave me the mental and physical tools to realize my own potential and continue to grow in a sport that I love. Sarah embodies horsemanship, sets her clients up for success, and does it all with a wonderful sense of humor that always makes riding fun".

 

 

 

"Sarah Watson is a fantastic instructor: she is very patient, gives challenging lessons, and most importantly, always sets her riders up for positive experiences. I can't say enough about her, she instilled great confidence in me as an adult beginning to compete at age 39."

 

 

"I have known Sarah for about 13 years now. I trained under her as a junior and she helped me accomplish so much in and out of the riding world. She taught me many basics of being a good rider, good horseman, and caring person. Sarah was a great influence on not only my riding abilities but a great role model on my personal life. She is genuine and kind as well as knowledgable about her job. I am grateful for the years I got to ride with Sarah and for everything she taught me."

 

 

"Getting the opportunity to work and ride with Sarah has been an absolute blessing. She is not only a beautiful and soft rider, but is a wonderful and knowledgeable teacher for students of all levels. I've watched her teach lessons to kids just learning to trot, all the way up to students who are competing at the rated shows and she caters to the needs of each rider individually. She truly cares about every horse in her program, and provides amazing care and training programs to keep them in shape and prepared for whatever is ahead of them. I trust Sarah implicitly, she is one of the most honest and genuine people that I've been lucky enough to encounter in the horse industry. In the short time I was lucky enough to be taking lessons with Sarah, my riding abilities increased exponentially. Sarah is a role model for her students, and I would highly recommend her for anyone searching for a riding program!!!" 

 

 

"Sarah Watson is one of the most caring and hard-working people I know! She was a positive influence on my junior equestrian career as well as in life growing up. She takes the time to ensure riders are on well-suited mounts, professionally turned out, and in the frame of mind for success. She is a wonderful and understanding trainer who deeply cares about the success of each student as an individual. Whether you are trying to earn blues at AA shows or just enjoy time spent on horse back, she is a well-rounded trainer capable of improving all levels of riding. On top of all this, she is sweet and funny as hell! Loved every moment I got to spend with Sarah on the East Coast"

 

 

"...What comes to mind when thinking about Sarah are her positivity, her friendship, her loyalty, and her patience. She carries these traits in her not only in her personal relationships, but also in her relationship with horses" 

 

"...Sarah's keen eye for what a horse and rider need, her patience and beliefs in foundation, and her true horsemanship shine through on each and every horse she sends into the ring. There is not a horse she cannot ride, and each horse she throws a leg over is better after her ride."

 

"...Sarah is the most honest trainer out there. She is very in tune with the horses, and only wants the best for them. If the horses don't feel their best, she doesn't push them. This in turn means the horses trust her and truly give her their best efforts".
