The History of The Remote Horse Coach
Alternative Horsemanship™ was developed by Samantha Harvey based on her horsemanship journey and horse training philosophies over the past three decades of working with various competitive and pleasure riders worldwide.
Beginning in 2014, Sam expanded her in-person equine teachings by becoming The Remote Horse Coach, an innovative horse coaching service creating online and distance equine learning options. Her goal was to offer horseback riders ongoing support, instruction, and teaching to equine enthusiasts without in-person horse learning access.
Can Remote Horse Coaching help me?
The Remote Horse Coach's intention is to help bridge the gap of potential miscommunication and misunderstanding between horse and rider. She teaches practical and realistic horsemanship skillsets to help equestrians worldwide improve their horsemanship, recognize patterns and habits that limit their equine partnership, and replace them with strategies to create successful, trust-based horse relationships.
Horse riders and horsemanship students build their confidence, become proactive in their equine communication, and learn to understand horse communication by deciphering the difference between the symptom and root cause(s) of unwanted horse behavior. The Remote Horse Coach helps develop horseback rider's to recognize, assess, understand, and address equine behavior in a manner that has value to the horse. Through her equine coaching, she helps horse students build safe and rewarding partnerships that increase the horse's willingness and reasonable behaviors.
As a distance horse coach, Sam has developed innovative online horse learning options to help students of all experience levels.

"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
