National Hunt racehorse trainers based at Sandhill, Somerset

11/11/2026

Everyone at Sandhill is devastated to hear the incredibly sad news of Tom O’Brien.

Tom was a phenomenal jockey, riding over 1,000 winners during his career, but he was an equally phenomenal person. An absolute gentleman, he was someone who was a pleasure to be around and will be remembered so fondly by everyone lucky enough to have known him.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have crossed paths with Tom and will remember him not only for his achievements during his racing career, but also for the kind, genuine and wonderful person that he was. He will be hugely missed by everyone.

Our heartfelt thoughts are with his wife Hayley and their two wonderful boys, along with all of his family and friends at this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you for everything Tom. It was a privilege to know you🤍

Fantastic to see two ex racehorses of ours doing and looking so well recently.

Last week we said a fond farewell to a truly valued member of our team.

After an incredible 19 years with us, Jo is moving on to her next chapter. Throughout her time at Sandhill, she has been the definition of reliability, professionalism and dedication.

Her contribution to Sandhill over nearly two decades has been immense, and she has played a huge part in where we are today. Quite simply, she has been fantastic and will be greatly missed.

Thank you Jo for everything you have done, we wish you every happiness and success for the future!

We were delighted to see two ex racehorses of ours performing and looking so well at the Devon County Show last weekend.

Chance Du Roy, aged 22, who has been with Laura Jones since his retirement, won eight races during his career for us, including a Becher Chase.

Zanza, who won seven races during his career, most notably a Denman Chase and was Philips 3,000th winner is now with Emma Buck.

It’s great to see ex racehorses performing on another stage👏🏼
