The Equine Retreat- Samantha Harvey
Samantha Harvey developed her Alternative Horsemanship training approach over the past three decades of working within various facets of the equine industry including Three Day Eventing, Jumpers, Dressage, race track prep, ranch horses, cutting, reined cow horse, driving, packing, and more.
She starts colts, rehabilitates "difficult" horses, and finishes for both the show arena and pleasure riding. She works with both competitive and pleasure riders of all levels and backgrounds, horses of a variety of breeds, ages, and disciplines worldwide.
She has lectured, presented, and offered demos at equine symposiums and expos. Sam has taught horsemanship and equine behavior to pre-veterinary students. She has been a featured speaker on nationally syndicated radio programs. She regularly posts to her award-winning blog, which has been recognized as a top 75 blog in the equestrian community worldwide. She is also a regular contributor to equine publications and has contributed to several published horsemanship books.
Sam offers Horsemanship and a variety of other discipline-specific clinics worldwide and spends time working abroad with horses in South America, the Caribbean, the South Pacific, and most recently in Southeast Asia.
Her innovative teaching style shared in her Remote Horse Coaching programs empowers students to evolve into confident, pro-active horse enthusiasts.
Equestrian students learn how to interpret horse behavior and improve communication with their horses. She teaches students practical and realistic skillsets to recognize and evolve their mental approach, notice their patterns, and replace habits that are limiting them from achieving their full potential. She helps horseback riding students set, implement, and achieve realistic goals while building an empowering equine partnership.
