Renee Samson's Passion for Horses
Renee Samson loves being paid to play with horses all day, a career path she stumbled upon about four years ago.
At the suggestion of a friend, Samson visited Woodbine Mohawk Park for an evening of racing and a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the world of standardbred horses and horsepeople.
"I knew I liked the sport the first time I went to Mohawk," recalled Samson. "I wasn’t even a groom at that point. I just tagged along with one of my buddies that night. It was just unbelievable."
A visit to the paddock proved to be an eye-opening experience for Samson, who hails from Morriston, ON.
