Welcome, Y’all!
I’m Samantha Houchens,
I train horses because they they’ve mastered keeping a person humble.
& Im a front cover-model because its proof that all women can also be a magazines front cover model, we can be designer fitted, as comfortably as we wear a dusty cowboy hat & worn out-boots to match our riding chaps.
“The past may write the first few lines, but it don’t hold the pen for the rest of your life.”
So, welcome to the front porch, grab a chair & stay awhile.
Fair warning though, If you leave wanting a horse, a signed book, and a strong drink, don’t blame me.
That’s just what happens around here.
From dusty riding chaps and horse training to the runway and national spotlights, I am showing that women can bridge every world unapologetically.

“Love & Pain. One & the Same. The Houchens Name.”
This book is based on years of personal research into my family history, using real newspaper articles, death certificates, court records, photographs, and public documents. It explores love, violence, silence, survival, and the emotional weight passed down through generations. This is not fiction. It took me 5 years thus far.
& The journey has just started.
It’s changed my life. Let’s find out together what it has in store for our future,
Welcome to the official website of Samantha Houchens: an author, researcher, storyteller, model, momma, and a horse trainer. This site is where writing, family history, and life with horses all meet, because apparently one complicated passion was not enough. Through my work, I explore truth, survival, generational trauma, healing, and the long-buried stories that have a rude little habit of refusing to stay buried.
