Or bring your friends — intensive, personal, and adaptable
Private clinics are for individuals — or small groups of friends — who want to participate in an intensive two-day horsemanship clinic with Samantha Harvey's undivided attention. A variety of topics are covered during mounted and groundwork sessions, designed to suit you and your horse's specific needs.
These are for those who would like to address more topics than a group clinic allows time for. Choose from a half day (3½ hours) or a full day (7 hours), and structure your sessions around what matters most to you right now.
Sam comes to your facility — no travel required on your end.
More Time. More Depth. More Results.
What sets private instruction apart from a group clinic
Undivided Attention
Every session is focused entirely on you and your horse. No waiting for others, no generalized instruction — every moment is tailored to what your horse needs right now.
Your Facility, Your Terms
Sam comes to you. Work in the environment your horse already knows, with the equipment and setup you use daily — no trailering stress, no unfamiliar arenas.
Multiple Horses Welcome
Have more than one horse to work with? Private clinics make it possible to address each horse individually across your sessions, something a group setting simply can't accommodate.

"I'm so thrilled, I just have to tell my friends. Samantha Harvey is awesome. After two days and 6+ hours of lessons, I can say it is the best money I ever spent. As an example, the last thing we did was loading. In 20 minutes she had me loading Sunny very quietly and gently, literally step by step in and out. I rode Sunny in the round pen, getting her to turn left and right, all very gently, no fuss. Through the gate, step by step, all very calm. Absolutely amazing."
"Does it work at home? Yep. Unloaded easily. Nice calm walk to the pasture and back. Brought her back to the pen, de-wormed her, no fuss."
"Her technique is all about horse communication. Walking through the gate is the same as loading, walking through narrow spaces, putting on the saddle, and so on. There's no going round and round in the round pen. I suspect you guys already know all about this — I guess Samantha just talked my language and it all made perfect sense to me. It's a process I can work with."
