Sam has owned & been involved with horses most of her life. At the age of four, she got her first pony, Spooky. As a teen, Sam worked at a trail-riding stable, then took a break from horses while in college & in the early years of her career as an elementary teacher. When her own daughter showed an interest in horses back in 2010, they enthusiastically became horse owners, showing in the Wisconsin Ranch Horse Association, Equine Trail Sports, local shows, & trail riding. When Sam heard about the volunteer opportunities at Triple H Ranch & Therapeutic Horsemanship, she was immediately drawn to the idea of combining her passions...working with students & horses, while giving back to the community. In her free time, Sam enjoys going to sporting events with her husband, gardening, & spreading smiles & joy with her certified therapy dog, Oliver. ​​​
