SAMANTHA BROWN
Samantha Brown is a new face to Pripet, but a life-long face in the Maine horse world. She started riding with Lisa Kingsbury at age five where she showed in hunters and western pleasure in the local Maine circuit. Rounding out her junior years by turning her strictly western QH into a Downeast Medal Qualified hunter, Sam took a hiatus from the horse world to complete her Bachelor’s in Bioengineering and compete with the University of Maine Cheerleading team. She met Barton in 2021 and fell in love with Dressage and Pripet. She spends her winters gaining show experience at White Fences Equestrian Center, and is beyond excited to return for her second summer at the program to share her knowledge.
