Coach Tracy McCarty, from Born 2 Be, comes to check on Sam and Trevor before they enter the ring at the 2014 state Special Olympics.

Showmanship has been a tougher category for Sam to compete in over the years. He came by way of it much later than by riding. He was introduced to some of the concepts through 4-H, but still, some of the things a person must do hinge not only on the horse, but also on the judge.

Sam still did well this year, as you can see below. He took bronze.
