Belgian gelding born 2004; son of Delilah. Sampson (“Sammy”) joined Tally-Ho in 2016 and is now one of our most trusted carriage horses. He’s earned the nickname of “Baby Boy” as his eyes often read that he’s looking for reassurance in the world (he has a “Mommy!” look all the time, which is really adorable). For the first two years with us, Sampson’s primary driver, Christine, developed a close, trust based relationship with him that exemplified what a great horse-human partnership should look like. That work laid the foundation for the Sampson we know and love today, who, despite his worried look, has become a very brave and honest horse. Sampson now helps train new carriage drivers, making sure they understand how things are done around here. :0)
