The Remote Horse Coach highlights recognizing the subtle horse behavior that offers feedback to understand the equine's mental, spatial, and physical defensive triggers that lead to anticipative, tension-filled, fleeing responses. She also highlights how changing the horse's expectation of patterns during human interaction can bring to light if he is offering a mindless conditioned response versus having the ability to think, adapt, search, and try for what the human is asking. https://youtu.be/jBPCFZ1ZVfw<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">Horsemanship learning, horse courses, horse articles, equine partnership, online horse learning, alternative horsemanship, horses, equine, horse behavior, online horse instructor, alternative horsemanship, Samantha Harvey, remote horse coaching, distance horse learning, horse questions, ask horse trainer, horse videos, horse blog, equestrian, horses, free horse learning, equine partnership, horsemanship clinics, equine behaviour, </div>SamanthaHarveyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07307337547455246728noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995612239300826372.post-90173220178345878592024-02-13T08:39:00.003-07:002024-02-13T08:39:18.049-07:00Tips for Improving Horse SkillsTips for Resetting Your Breathing and Releasing Tension at the Halt<br> (Mounted or Unmounted)<div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHfClb9WKhhdaAgejKaN2neFcye9qsnd718_-C6XUZO-jpyOiKJs-Djldg9CQR7C8yy0aDSiEjFDzTaVzPiGL3QFAAyrx0M7DLzYVft6OV7oxU3glkCnZds8GvfUIsFyvf8LeK8fqBmprMEngvxJ7n0pL_ELrJI2rcWGFQjp4QeTOWoNYmBmri-NQy3a4V/s1009/Meeting%20of%20the%20Minds.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="969" data-original-width="1009" height="307" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHfClb9WKhhdaAgejKaN2neFcye9qsnd718_-C6XUZO-jpyOiKJs-Djldg9CQR7C8yy0aDSiEjFDzTaVzPiGL3QFAAyrx0M7DLzYVft6OV7oxU3glkCnZds8GvfUIsFyvf8LeK8fqBmprMEngvxJ7n0pL_ELrJI2rcWGFQjp4QeTOWoNYmBmri-NQy3a4V/w320-h307/Meeting%20of%20the%20Minds.jpg" title="Alternative Horsemanship with Samantha Harvey" width="320"></a></div><div>Only when realizing it, many riders hold their breath quite frequently when interacting with or riding the horse.<br>This Unintentional simple act creates continuous containment of the horse due to the rigidity the human then carries in their body causing constant chaos, and miscommunication with the horse.<span></span></div><a href="https://learnhorses.blogspot.com/2024/02/tips-for-improving-horse-skills.html#more"></a><div class="blogger-post-footer">Horsemanship learning, horse courses, horse articles, equine partnership, online horse learning, alternative horsemanship, horses, equine, horse behavior, online horse instructor, alternative horsemanship, Samantha Harvey, remote horse coaching, distance horse learning, horse questions, ask horse trainer, horse videos, horse blog, equestrian, horses, free horse learning, equine partnership, horsemanship clinics, equine behaviour, </div>SamanthaHarveyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07307337547455246728noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995612239300826372.post-15787288250779376652024-02-05T07:53:00.002-07:002024-02-05T07:53:31.673-07:00Pressure and HorsesPressure & Horses <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6D1cm3rHI19SqhTgrQAL9nlO7U6ddxn6zj_oMFkZnaBF-Ew9YVVN_oq5bgG2Cx1GoxwELxkUojL4ZyQAXZla9YBls6v3rqFvHy1Ms_uH2foCbFT8i-DMIFff9R6FiSJwjySYMWTdKNZ7nxwOONVnbvgwlLTsXaa-Sj7DRKFADprcA5uVr2-W4Z-oeIF4J/s2000/IMG_20200330_100221_540.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="2000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6D1cm3rHI19SqhTgrQAL9nlO7U6ddxn6zj_oMFkZnaBF-Ew9YVVN_oq5bgG2Cx1GoxwELxkUojL4ZyQAXZla9YBls6v3rqFvHy1Ms_uH2foCbFT8i-DMIFff9R6FiSJwjySYMWTdKNZ7nxwOONVnbvgwlLTsXaa-Sj7DRKFADprcA5uVr2-W4Z-oeIF4J/s320/IMG_20200330_100221_540.jpg" width="320"></a></div>I’ve never had an “English” language conversation with a horse, but over the years I feel that I’ve found some degree of a “common language” with which I use to communicate with them. I explain to students there is no “one” way to do things, and I always tell people “take what you like, leave what you don’t” from any learning situation. I finished reading a horse blog the other day and realized that in this day and age, I don’t think you can participate in any aspect of the horse world without hearing the word “pressure” about communicating with the horse.<br> I was thinking about what “pressure” might mean to others; ideas and questions started to pop into my head.<span></span><a href="https://learnhorses.blogspot.com/2024/02/pressure-and-horses.html#more"></a><div class="blogger-post-footer">Horsemanship learning, horse courses, horse articles, equine partnership, online horse learning, alternative horsemanship, horses, equine, horse behavior, online horse instructor, alternative horsemanship, Samantha Harvey, remote horse coaching, distance horse learning, horse questions, ask horse trainer, horse videos, horse blog, equestrian, horses, free horse learning, equine partnership, horsemanship clinics, equine behaviour, </div>SamanthaHarveyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07307337547455246728noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995612239300826372.post-38985476071328910822024-02-05T07:29:00.007-07:002024-02-05T07:29:55.456-07:00Tips for Improving the Equine Partnership<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1tPLlH4MAluoAtPMLMk7H77f3OQvHEtcW8uFAUVIHTCqiIhkjkZu9TC5UdOkxOOStfFzs0gMKccEBcjprNdPmwYciNEMw5wnwma1dpWmit38CKhFsCtMtbMLlnMXMXDk-3RpBoH8yMiu6EzmmWB3XcqzbL3bWfOz7DIsGQnkyBrf9UIyB8Orh9IiZ-Q6V/s1065/mindful.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1065" data-original-width="1065" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1tPLlH4MAluoAtPMLMk7H77f3OQvHEtcW8uFAUVIHTCqiIhkjkZu9TC5UdOkxOOStfFzs0gMKccEBcjprNdPmwYciNEMw5wnwma1dpWmit38CKhFsCtMtbMLlnMXMXDk-3RpBoH8yMiu6EzmmWB3XcqzbL3bWfOz7DIsGQnkyBrf9UIyB8Orh9IiZ-Q6V/s320/mindful.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>"Letting Go" to Feel of the Horse<div><br />Learning the commonly taught mechanics to work with a horse from the ground or how to ride can be a challenge.

This then gives the human guidance on what needs to be addressed to help the horse better.</div><div><br />"Letting go" of self-imposed or society's traditionally taught hurried, repetitious, patterns, have-tos or "horse training rules", allows for unexpected Opportunities that can often become trust-building experiences between the human and the horse.<br />The more we learn to "let go," the more present in the moment and available we are to observe, experiment, and adapt which is then mirrored in the horse's willingness toward our requests.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Horsemanship learning, horse courses, horse articles, equine partnership, online horse learning, alternative horsemanship, horses, equine, horse behavior, online horse instructor, alternative horsemanship, Samantha Harvey, remote horse coaching, distance horse learning, horse questions, ask horse trainer, horse videos, horse blog, equestrian, horses, free horse learning, equine partnership, horsemanship clinics, equine behaviour, </div>SamanthaHarveyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07307337547455246728noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995612239300826372.post-81004857976043973662024-02-05T07:26:00.002-07:002024-02-05T07:26:46.812-07:00Horse Behavior: Imposing at the gate<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gCOzmjk_hd8" width="497" youtube-src-id="gCOzmjk_hd8"></iframe></div><br /> In this horse learning video, Alternative Horsemanship The Remote Horse Coach shares a young horse who is imposing upon the human as they approach the gate.
