Meet your Instructor!
Hi, I'm Samantha
And I’ve been where you are today. The fun times, the eureka moments, the falls, and those confused patches!
This course is built from experience and a genuine drive to share what truly helps prevent avoidable injuries and support soundness
You’ll gain access to my 25 years of equine and human therapy expertise I've worked with (and on!) thousands of horses.
I’ll guide you through skills, strategies, and lifestyle hacks that will help you get to know your horse’s body better and recognize the early signs to prevent injury and discomfort in your horse and downtime from the saddle.
While some injuries are unavoidable, I've seen far too many preventable ones silently building right under owners noses. I'd like to share the causes with you.
I look forward to meeting you in the course!

Sam has been my horse’s therapist for over 15years and I wouldn’t trust anyone else. She has the horse’s welfare as her foremost priority. Her knowledge and continuing quest for more means she is current in her understanding of horse and rider. Highly recommend her methods.
