After his time with the American Adventure, he started to work with problem horses and trained many horses here in the UK.

Throughout his training career he has worked with horses with many different problems and ahs also worked in many different disciplines ranging from polo horses to driving horses and even racing horses.

In the last 8 years he has been training mainly quarter horses and ahs shown horses in the UK.

In the last 2 years he's been successful in the show circuit with great acheivements in the arean with 'Blazin Chic Olena'. Sam Magdalena achievments for 2009:

• 2009 Reserve High Point Champion in Limited and Intermediate Open with British Reining
• 2009 British Reining Championships - Limited Open Champion and Reserve Intermediate Champion.
• British Championships - 1st Place NRHA Intermediate Open

• High Point Champion in 2008 (AQHA UK)

He also coaches novice riders and in the last 2 years some of his pupils have achieved British Reining Green as Grass 2007 and 2008, Rookie rider 2007  and the all rounders awards at the East Coast Circuit in 2007.

Sam has been indispensible again this year.  He's trained me, my show horse - Peach, my youngsters Sassy and Winnie (both of whom came on beautifully under his care).  In his free time, Sam showed Peach around the shows winning a plaque from the NRHA which is proudly displayed at home.  We thought we'd give Sam a little holiday with no pressure by sending him to North Carolina for a little Futurity at the end of October 2010.  Because we know he'll really enjoy the rest, we have also arranged for him to go to a slightly larger Futurity in Oklahoma City in November.  Our hopes are therefore pinned on him winning his air fare back home!!
