Samantha Walker

Sam has been professionally training horses for the last 16 years. She was a little later to the saddle than most horse trainers, but once she sat in the saddle as a preteen she never really left. A full fledged barn rat at her instructor’s barn led to training her own horses and any neighboring horses she could get her hands on until she became an adult and went to learn from other trainers. These crucial teen years would have looked a lot different had she not had horses to keep her grounded and focused, and one of her main goals has always been to provide the same safe haven that she was provided. She wants R&R Ranch to be a place where kids, teenagers and adults feel comfortable to grow, to find and be themselves, and to be supported.

Sam spends the majority of her days teaching others about horses and training horses how to teach people. She enjoys showing horses as well, encouraging herself and others to always step out of their comfort zone for growth. She loves working on home projects and hiking with her husband Michael, and homeschooling and riding with their two boys. She loves to do her yoga every morning and is now hosting yoga classes on the ranch as well to promote physical health and flexibility. She loves helping people on their life journey and is excited to meet everyone who can join us here at R&R Ranch.
