Sam

This is my beautiful Sam. A purebred Arabain with impeccable breeding - Cherox Samaam 19/9/1995 - 25/7/2010.........our beautiful boy, sadly missed.

Sam was the first horse I started to ride after my 15 year break.  I was so nervous just sitting on him. Sam was spirited, tended to be nervous about certain things however kind gentle and caring. Not long after starting to ride him I found QS and realised that we both had a lot to work on before I was able to take him out of an arena.  Sam was a very sensitive horse and responded very well to my journey into NH. 

Unfortunately as we progressed Sam started to show signs of intermittent lameness which I eventually had x-rayed.  I was told that he would not be suited to where I was heading and needed some time to rest.  After 6 months of rest he would be ok to be ridden however not the sort of stuff I was heading towards. 

I was so lucky to find a fantastic free lease home for him where he  was lovingly looked after and treated with NH.  He had found a dream  home however on the 25th July this year our beautiful boy (bring tears to my eyes whenever I think about him) passed away due to a terrible fight with colic. RIP my beautiful Sam, you will always be remembered by lots of people who loved you dearly.
