I’m Sacha Hughes, a freelance coach and British Horse Society Accredited Professional Coach (BHS APC) with a BSc in Equine Science and an Award in Education and Training. With over 40 years in the industry — from running my own livery yard to working in veterinary and college settings — I’ve seen what really works in daily horse management. Through the Smart Stable series and my freelance coaching, I aim to share practical, evidence-based advice to help owners care for their horses with confidence, kindness, and calm consistency.
