ABOUT

Samantha's love for Arabian horses began at just five years old. As a child, whenever someone asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, her answer was always the same – a riding instructor. That dream took its first steps in 2007 when she got her first horse, an Arabian gelding named Chapter Three, affectionately known as Chappie.

Chappie became the heart of her equestrian journey, helping Samantha grow as a rider and horsewoman. In 2019, she fulfilled her lifelong dream by opening her riding program, teaching children and adults the fundamentals of horsemanship, building their confidence, and inspiring a deep love for the equestrian arts.

In 2023, Chappie passed away unexpectedly, leaving a profound void in the hearts of those he inspired.

Today, Chapter One Riding Academy stands as a living tribute to his legacy, dedicated to teaching riders of all ages the fundamentals of horsemanship, fostering confidence, and encouraging a lifelong passion for the equestrian arts.
