Sami Malik
Trainer Sami has been around horses almost her entire life. She rode at different farms growing up and learned from multiple talented trainers throughout elementary and high school. Once a senior in high school Blue Skies was formed out of Pine Acres, a Girl Scout camp. From that moment horses became her entire life. She began teaching professionally as a sophomore in college and has enjoyed it thus far. Sami has always been passionate about students having correct, safe, and educated riding skills. She has taught students from their first rides on a horse through the age group equitation, child/adult hunters, pony hunters, and child/adult jumpers. Sami loves to spread her passion of horseback riding and help her students reach their personal goals in riding. Sami brings along green horses, especially off the track thoroughbreds; many of the horses she has been successful on or brought students along with, have been thoroughbreds. Students have been successful at the local and national level; students have qualified for local and national medal finals. Even though Sami enjoys teaching and training, she especially enjoys participating in clinics with top professionals. Sami currently works as an assistant trainer and rider to Heather Steinman of HMS Stables in Canton, Georgia. HMS specializes in correct classical training and works with riders and horses from the child/adult jumpers through the grand prix.
