Samantha is happy to share her intensive research and extensive experience on Hunters, with Judges, Competitors and Clients - in regards to all aspects of what constitutes a true Hunter type.
In addition to this, she is naturally happy to advise and assist as to what is typically and traditionally required of a Competitor and of a Judge in the competing and officiating of Working Hunter, Hunter Turnout (including Side Saddle) classes, and the correct attire and tack to be worn by both horse and rider from general Agricultural show level to Royal and National show level.
Her research has been documented and implemented, as the basis of all documentation for The Australian Hunter Horse Association, of which she is a co-Founder. Samantha has officiated in the Hunter ring extensively at all levels, including Royal Shows both in Australia and Internationally. She is also regularly called upon as a guest seminar speaker on Hunters at Judges Seminars throughout Australia.
