Sam has been part of the Elisabeth Curtis Centre family for over ten years and is a much-loved favourite among riders, volunteers and staff alike.
Like Whisper, Sam tends to have just one speed, but that is exactly why he is our go-to pony when assessing new participants. His safe, calm and reliable nature helps riders feel confident from the moment they meet him.
When he's not working, Sam's favourite activities are eating and sleeping. He can often be heard snoring in his stable and is even partial to a snooze during sessions. However, the mention of a carrot, an apple, or the opportunity to sneak a mouthful of grass is usually enough to have him wide awake and paying attention!
