I would really recommend Sam's programme to anyone that wants to be a more confident rider and just enjoy their horse, because that's what it's all about!
I learned to control my breathing before I went into the ring, which helped me relax before entering the arena, and I would never be able to do that before!
I honestly couldn't believe the difference after the first session, it worked instantly basically! A year on, it's things I'm still putting into practise today.
So anyone thinking of working with Sam, I would literally say, Just go for it. Do it. Treat yourself. Treat your horse and you won't regret it. It was the best decision I've ever made!
I came to see Sam after I'd gotten into a bad riding accident at a competition. I'd broken my ankle and I was laid up for months in bed. I had a lot of anxiety and anticipation about returning to riding.
I was able to return to riding my own horse. I'm now jumping. I'm preparing for my first competition back, and I'm feeling not only like I have been able to move forward from the accident, but I have tools that are going to help me moving forward from here on out.
If you are thinking about working with Sam, I'd highly recommend it. I've got back to enjoying my horse. So definitely do it. It's definitely worth it.
Sam has helped massively. I went out to do a test almost a week later, after having used her techniques and the bell went and you know what? It's the best results I ever got for my dressage test!
I'm in a completely different place because of of the work with Sam. Actually, from really early on. So, after session one, I saw an impact, and after session two, I completed my first BE.
I have gone from thinking a little bit hard and a few butterflies in my stomach, to actually just getting on with it. I'm back to just riding, my old self!
Sam has been awesome to work with! She has given me the determination and the confidence just to refocus and be amazing at what I'm good at. So anybody looking to work with Sam, I would highly recommend and say go for it!
