Sam began riding as a child and worked his way up the ranks from ponies to horses. His first serious competition horse was called Savannah with whom he was placed second in the Young Rider International Show jumping competition at Millstreet. Savannah was then sold to Dubai. Sam later turned to eventing with a home-bred mare called Akalina. Sam progressed to 2-star international level with Akalina and completed Punchestown International Three-Day Event finishing on her dressage score. Sam currently competes another home-bred called Tabazimbi (known as Wilma to her friends) at 2-star level and has another home-bred (this time a gelding!) called Narok waiting in the wings for his turn to event. Sam is a SJAI course builder and judge and also a cross-country course designer and course-builder having built the course here at Annaharvey to CNC*** standard.
