A familiar face on the Midwest show circuit is pretty, petite Nancy Samuelson. A long time supporter of the American Saddlebred, Nancy and
her husband, Don, call Lake Forest, Illinois home. The horses are Nancy’s interest, although Don and Nancy share many
mutual interests including music and traveling. Don is an accomplished pianist and Nancy was a voice major in
college. Together, they have two
sons, Christopher and Scott, from which Nancy’s horse business got it’s name - Chriscot Farm.
 Nancy, along with her sister, Marianne, teamed up nineteen years and started an interior
design business called Interior Motives by M & N. One of the most recent endeavors taken on by Nancy was putting her
professional expertise to use by designing and coordinating the fairytale
wedding of her son, Christopher. Her appreciation to detail is evident in everything she does.
 Beginning
her riding career at the age of eight, Nancy started riding with Bernice and Don
Leadley at Cumberland Stables in Norridge, Illinois. She has had horses with some notable trainers such as Kim and Fran
Crumpler, David Kerger, Ed and Terry Gunn, Scott and Carol Matton and Rick Wallen. Currently, Nancy has her
sporty walk-trot mare, Sparkleberry’s Sonata Dare and a two year old filly out
of her beloved Danielle Steele in training with Andy and Lynda Freseth at Hollow Haven Farm. Some of her former
horses include Chambray, Faberge and Danielle Steel.
With Nancy’s strong love and appreciation of the American Saddlebred, she will continue in this business for a long time.
