Virtual Horse Learning Since 2014
Since 2014, Samantha Harvey has brought the Alternative Horsemanship™ approach directly to riders who can't make it to an in-person clinic — the same depth of horse behavior insight, real-time feedback, and skill-building, wherever you are in the world.
The Remote Horse Coach
Samantha Harvey first developed the Remote Horse Coach program in 2014. Her approach helps riders worldwide become more proactive, confident, and aware by learning how to interpret and communicate effectively with their horses.
Remote coaching is not a workaround — it is a complete learning pathway. Sam reviews video of you and your horse, assesses what is happening in real time, and gives you specific, actionable guidance tailored to your horse's behavior and your current skill level.
Not sure where to start? An Intro Consult (15–60 minutes) is the best first step. Sam will listen, assess your situation, and identify the right coaching path for you.

View WebinarsI have been riding and owning horses since I was 7 years old. I was ready to totally give up on my mare. Luckily, I heard of Sam and started working with her. I realized I lacked the profound knowledge needed to truly bond with my horses — to speak their language, to teach them to fully trust me and my leadership. My mare and I have a whole new relationship now. We both look forward to being with each other.— Cassandra, CA
