"My horse is difficult to catch..."
"The more I do with my horse, the worse he behaves..."
"I feel like my horse progress is 'two steps forward, then four back' every time I ask more..."
"I can't exactly explain 'what' specifically is wrong as my horse is always obedient, but I know he is always carrying tension..."
"I am always wondering what my horse will do next..."
"My horse is great most of the time, as long as he has his buddy horse around..."
"I was making so much progress with my young horse, and now he wants nothing to do with me..."
"Years later, I am still having issues trailer loading my horse..."
"My horse is great at home, but if I haul him anywhere, it becomes a nightmare..."
Anyone can learn, from anywhere! From teaching equine enthusiasts in remote parts of South America to northern areas of Scandinavia, to those near the Artic circle in North America to those across Asia, and many places in-between, as long as one has access to a telephone, they can learn!
The priority is to translate the gap in miscommunication and misunderstanding between horse and rider. By teaching a practical approach, equestrians of all experience levels and backgrounds, improve their horsemanship, recognize patterns and habits that limit their equine partnership, and replace them with strategies to create successful, trust-based horse interactions.
Horse riders and virtual horsemanship students build their confidence, become proactive in their equine communication, and learn to understand the difference between the symptom and root cause(s) of unwanted horse behavior. Virtual horse coaching helps students learn the skills to recognize, assess, understand, and address equine behavior in a manner that has value to the equine. Online horse coaching can help students build safe and rewarding partnerships that increase the horse's willingness and reasonable behaviors.
Testimonials
"Thank you once again, Sam! Whenever I read your posts or listen to you, I am reminded of things that I either overlook or forget to think about. You are amazing!" Tammy P, USA
"The success I’ve had is mind-blowing. Truly. They were always so good for me and I could basically do anything with them but the guilt I used to feel before I talked to you was awful. Now, I let go of the guilt... I am sooo happy! So - a huge THANK YOU!!!!!" Julie O, USA
"I completed one of Sam's Equine Behavior Courses in June and was really impressed with the presentation, which was easy to understand and immensely enjoyable. She is very thought-provoking and it has led me to consider the conversation my horse has to off and listen for his responses. Thank you Sam." Chantelle J, UK
