Testimonials

"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."

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

" 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

"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."

Sarah, WA, 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. "

Marilyn, WA, USA

During every interaction horse owners have a choice...

Letting go of "have tos" that fixate on task accomplishment to instead prioritize building one's skillset to understand and communicate effectively with the horse eliminates vicious cycles of overwhelming scenarios instead creating reasonable and adaptable horses.
