About Sam
I grew up near the coast in northern Perth, Western Australia. My childhood was filled with the joy of winter football and the exhilaration of summer swimming and surfing. It was during a family holiday at a farm that my journey into horsemanship truly began. Since that time, the desire to work with and ride horses has been a constant drive in my life. Over the course of 18 years, I have trained horses and taught horsemanship, working with riders from beginners to Olympic levels across four continents and over ten countries. The insights I've gained from many skilled horsemen and women have significantly shaped my training program.
Now, I reside on a 58-acre property in Yornup, WA, alongside my wife and two children. Here, we dedicate ourselves to training horses and organizing camps of varying lengths, while also managing a cattle breeding operation and cultivating hay. In the past four years, my return to competition has allowed me to validate the effectiveness of a natural horsemanship approach, which emphasizes the importance of understanding horse psychology, biomechanics, and established routines. My principal passion lies in campdrafting, and I'm actively developing a pool of higher-quality horses for significant events in the near future.
Additionally, I am excited to introduce an innovative online program for my dedicated students, titled The Horseman's Blueprint. My goal is to consistently add new and engaging content each month, ensuring my students stay connected with their horses and continue to refine their horsemanship skills even between clinics. While I would like to be present with each individual student, the reality is that I cannot be everywhere simultaneously. This makes the program an essential resource for continued growth and support. I look forward to helping you succeed with your horses.
