Learning the Equine Language
Is your horse experiencing something, but you cannot pinpoint why or what it is?
Disillusioned with hurried, obedience-demanding horse training "solutions" and prefer an empathy-based approach to develop quality interactions?
Are you frustrated, overwhelmed, or uncomfortable mimicking aggressive or critical horse training methods rather than using considerate discernment?
Testimonials from Virtual Students
“Transformative Training with Samantha Harvey: a five-star experience… The results of her training are immediately noticeable, with horses showing marked improvement in their behavior and interaction with humans.”
“Another great moment with my submissive, formerly herd-bound horse, Sunny… When I looked at Sunny from a distance and did my whistle, she walked away from her buddies and came up to me. This all started with your trust-building technique. We’ve had a really great summer of trail riding… thanks to you and your method.”
Common Horse Behavior Problems
My horse is difficult to catch...
The more I try to not cause my horse concern, the worse he reacts...
When we are in an unfamiliar location, my horse becomes a nightmare...
My horse always is tense...
I constantly anticipate and worry about what my horse will do next...
My horse is completely herd bound...
I thought my young horse's training was going well, and now he avoids all interaction...
I still have issues loading my horse into the trailer... despite "trailer training".
My horse is pushy, and if I try to set boundaries or use the strong communication I was taught, he acts aggressive...
“ The horse’s mental and emotional state is reflected in his behavior. ”
Alternative Horsemanship™ the Remote Horse Coach
Does Virtual Horse Coaching work?
“The first video of the Mindful Horsemanship Significance Series is rich in information. I’m glad I get to review it and will listen next time I take notes.”
“Thank you for this mindfulness webinar. I’m new to horse ownership, and your guidance helps me stay clear and intentional. I’ll rewatch and take notes so I can start fresh each time.”
Samantha Harvey, founder of Alternative Horsemanship™ , had been traveling worldwide to help horses for decades. She realized despite her in-person efforts, students needed access to ongoing instruction. Starting in 2014, she expanded her teaching to online consulting. From there, her efforts have evolved to current day remote and online services including: virtual horsemanship coaching, via a blog with 1,700 horse help articles, the free Alternative Horsemanship™ FB online coaching group, the Remote Horse Coach Video Catalog, Telephone Consults, Video Instruction, and a Mentorship program.
Working with Sam can be an opportunity to transform your perspective, perceptions, and partnership with your horse.
“Samantha cares so much about each horse and each person. Her depth and breadth of knowledge are stunning. She communicates with a clarity that breaks complex issues into understandable parts.”
"Sam has been amazing at helping me unpack a very long standing issue with my OTTB and trailering fear/anxiety. Not surprisingly we started away from the trailer working on some basic fundamentals with leading and learning how to redirect and "drain" the anxiety. The results have been excellent--I wasnt looking for a quick fix or a way to "apply more pressure," I wanted to really help my horse become more OK with trailering... as well as other anxiety producing events we encounter. Sam delivered and we have a better understanding now and are continuing to work on these things and improve!"
