The horse Sam, a four-year-old bay, is treasured by his owner, who has cared for him since he was a baby. Initially not intended to acquire Sam, a spontaneous visit to view another horse led to their serendipitous connection. With a history of riding experience starting at five, the owner values her time with Sam and rides him daily, preparing for his debut at the Dublin Horse Show in the Working Hunter Horses class.
Sam really is just like a pet. He has such a cute little head and a very kind eye, and he's brown in colour; we call it "bay" in horse terms.
I wasn't meant to get him at all. We were supposed to be going to my grandmother's for dinner one evening, but then we got a call about going to look at a horse in Birr.
I've been riding horses since I was about five, attending riding schools until the age of 10 or 11. Then, when I was 12, I was privileged to get Red - my first pony.
This year will be Sam's first time at Dublin Horse Show; we'll be in what's called the Working Hunter Horses class.
