Samantha

I have no qualifications, just years of experience, but since I am fresh out of high school and looking for the next step, I am open to college courses and qualifications.

I’ve shown and worked with horses my entire life. I started showing horses when I was 4 and starting working for my trainer as a groom when I was 16. I am most familiar with the Arabian horse industry. I also compete in open shows, 4h, and stock horse shows. I have handled stallions, geldings, mares, broodmares, and foals. I am familiar with getting horses ready to show (grooming, saddling, lunging, clipping, sanding feet, etc.) as well as cleaning stalls, feeding, and medicating.

One of my strengths is being quick at cleaning stalls and other projects. Another one of my strengths is starting young in the horse industry. Also I’ve worked with lots of different tempered horses

I ride mostly Arabians at this time. I have worked with problem horses and green horses. I don’t have much experience with riding young horses. I have never jumped professionally but I do have experience in hunt seat. I have only a little experience in starting a horse. The disciplines I am most familiar with are western pleasure and equitation, ranch riding, reining, showmanship, cows, inhand, trail and huntseat though I am a fast learner and eager to learn about flatwork and jumping.

I have shown in the Arabian industry since I was 10. I have worked as a groom for my trainer, Sarah Robertson since I was 16.
