From the beginning, Vera Samantha possessed all the qualities her owner admired most. Beautifully put together, striking to look at and blessed with a kind nature, she quickly proved herself to be something special.
“ She has always stayed kind,” Angy explains.“ She is beautiful inside and out.”
In the arena, Vera Samantha’ s calm and willing nature makes her an absolute pleasure to handle.
“ She’ s relaxed, sometimes too relaxed,” Angy jokes.“ But she knows her job and completes it willingly.”
Their approach to training has always mirrored the mare’ s easy going temperament. There are no gruelling schedules or intense preparations. Instead, the pair focus on consistency, trust and keeping things enjoyable.
“ We lunge a few times a week for short periods, do a little practice standing up, but that’ s about it,” Angy says.“ She’ s always been so easy.”
While their journey has included remarkable highs, it has not come without challenges. The most devastating came when she suffered a massive stroke a life changing event that temporarily forced her away from the show ring.
