From their very first encounter to navigating challenging cavalry demonstrations, discover how Sampson pushes SGT Espinoza to conquer his own insecurities and grow as a horseman and a person.
Inducted into the Irwin Army Community Hospital team in December 2024, Sampson welcomes visits from IACH staff. Come experience the calming presence of this magnificent animal and learn about his unique bond with his handler.
