Join Alternative Horsemanship™ The Remote Horse Coach to stop guessing and develop confidence building, quality horse interactions. The video catalog provides comprehensive and supplemental virtual horse insight and instruction to deepen your understanding of equine behavior, enhance your horsemanship and communication skills.


Information Overload

Horse owners are constantly bombarded with training methods, unsolicited opinions, and endless social media content promising to fix unwanted or reactive behaviors.


Yet few equine enthusiasts worldwide are left frustrated, overwhelmed, or even hurt because they haven’t been taught how to understand horse behavior, address root causes instead of masking symptoms, or how to assess, develop, and adapt their own skills to create lasting change in the horse.

What is Alternative Horsemanship™?

The Remote Horse Coach is based on Alternative Horsemanship™ , an approach that focuses on understanding and interpreting equine behavior to build relevant skills to create safe, reasonable, adaptable horses.

Understand Horses: Create a Common Language

Learning to translate (without the human emotional filter) horse behavior and communication creates an opportunity to develop a shared “language” between you and your horse. It eliminates guesswork and hopefulness, replacing it with adaptable, relevant interactions dissipating anticipation, tension, and unwanted, defensive equine behavior.

"Thank you for this mindfulness webinar. I look forward to interactions with my horse but I know I get excited inside to make connections and may overstep the intentions that I initially set out to make. I hope I can start off with more clarity but it’s also interesting how we humans can get into that grey area so easily. I plan to watch these videos again this week and take notes for gentle reminders to start fresh each time. I know I have a lot to practice to bring my awareness into focus, clear my mind, gain confidence and work towards gaining the trust of my horse. Thank you so much."

"Such a clear break down of information. So much for me to look at with the horses I am around. The horse is so clear with his communication when we know what to look for. Thank you" Nami Z, Australia


"Your talks are inspirational, practical, and instructive. I can imagine as you describe — and want to raise my game." Betsy, MA, USA


"Thank you for enlightening me and all of us about a more holistic and respectful approach to working with the horse." 

Debra CA, 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

" After watching the 'Reading the Horse' behavior course, I’ve been working to help my horse stop anticipating what I’m going to ask of him, which has in turn helped him to release tension and drain some of his defensiveness towards me and my asks. Today was his 13th birthday and a pretty successful session. Just wanted to share a small celebration we’ve shared after applying what I’ve learned from you."

Tori, CA, USA

"Thought I should tell you, though, how often I use the tools you give us.  Feeding, leading, loading, riding, it doesn't matter what I'm doing, I'm far more aware of what my horses are feeling and thinking, which (as you obviously know!) leads to better communication and a positive outcome.  I think the loading moments are my favorites...where is the brain?...come back to me!...oh, hello, you wanted what?  Thanks for expanding the horizons of both me and my horse. "
