SANDI SAMEL

Sandi Samel is a part-time instructor with a hunt seat equitation background. Sandi received an M.A. in 1985 from California State University at Chico and has over 20 years of teaching experience. She has a lovely teaching style and a fantastic eye for equitation. She is known not only for her sincerity and professionalism with students, but also for her ability to emphasize the most fun and enjoyable aspects of horsemanship. Her keen sense of humor certainly adds to the pleasure of taking lessons from her. While Sandi can teach any level of hunt seat riding, both jumping and flat work, she excels at instructing the very beginning rider. She is patient and kind and has an enthusiasm for her work that is contagious. Many new riders at Mill Creek begin their riding experience with Sandi and continue with us for many years.

Sandi works for us part-time though we wish we could get more of her time since she is such a popular instructor. Owner Cory Walkey states that “over the many years, Sandi has been one of the nicest things that ever happened to Mill Creek.”
