SAMANTHA ARRINGTON

             Samantha Arrington is currently a Junior at Model High School. Born in August of 1998, she has deep family roots originating in her home town of Rome, GA. On top of occupying a steady equestrian career, Samantha is also an avid student, aspiring to be an Orthopedic Physicians Assistant. 

              Her horse-back riding career dates back to 2006, where she first started riding with her to-date trainer, Keri Davidson. During her nine years of experience, Sam has been to a great number of horse shows throughout the South East, competing in Alabama, South Carolina, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and of course her home state, Georgia. Currently, she is preparing for her third TPHC circuit in Tennessee, as well as her second Pinto World Championship Show, taking place in Oklahoma during the Summer of 2015.

                Although she has riden a countless number of horses throughout her lifetime, she has been with her current horse, Gibbs, for four years. They are absolutely a dynamic duo, growing together as horse and rider over the years. Being their fourth year as a team, Samantha feels as if this is their year, since they are now better than ever.
