H.E.L.P. Reset, Refocus, and Ride Strong into the New Year

Why Short, Flexible Coaching Might Be Exactly What You Need Right Now

The holidays are a beautiful mix of celebration, reflection, and—let’s be honest—stress. Between busy schedules, winter weather, family expectations, and year-end pressure, it’s no surprise that many riders and horse owners feel overwhelmed or stuck this time of year.

But the end of the year also creates new opportunities:
A chance to reset your mindset, refine your goals, and start the new year with clarity and confidence—without locking yourself into long-term coaching commitments.

That’s exactly why I created H-E-L-P, a short-format, easy-access coaching service available through remote horse coaching.

What Is H-E-L-P?

H-E-L-P is a targeted coaching option designed for equine enthusiasts and horse owners who:

  • Need help fast

  • Don’t want lengthy coaching programs

  • Prefer flexible, short-term support

  • Want expert guidance without pressure, contracts, or subscriptions

It’s the coaching version of “I just need someone to walk me through this right now.”

Whether you’re facing a behavioral issue, confidence dip, training block, or simply want clarity on your next steps, H-E-L-P gives you direct support—quickly and without obligation.

No long commitment.
No monthly billing.
No complicated program structure.
Just clear, supportive, actionable guidance when you need it most.

 The end of the year tends to amplify challenges:

  • Less riding time

  • Weather interruptions

  • Schedule chaos

  • Horse behavior changes

  • Rising stress + lowered confidence

  • Pressure to “start the new year right”

This is often when riders feel most alone in their struggles.

But you don’t need to push through it solo.

H-E-L-P lets you tap into quick, expert support exactly when something pops up, without having to commit to a long-term coaching relationship. It’s a tool you can use once, occasionally, or as needed while navigating the season.

What You Get With H-E-L-P

Every H-E-L-P session is built to be:

✔ Short & efficient

Focused sessions that deliver clarity without requiring hours of your time.

✔ Flexible

Use it when you need it. Skip it when you don’t.

✔ No long-term commitment

Perfect for riders who just need targeted guidance or a quick problem-solving session.

✔ Completely remote

No hauling horses, rearranging schedules, or dealing with winter footing.

✔ Personalized to your situation

Your horse, your goals, your challenge—no cookie-cutter advice.

Sometimes the most valuable gift is simply help—the right help, at the right moment.

Horse & Rider Help : Alternative Horsemanship™ the Remote Horse Coach


A lot of people are unsure about "how" they can learn if the instructor is not nearby... The irony of much of what limits the human's student ability to learn and retain new ideas and skills, can be the "distraction" of having their horse in hand/sitting on them. As a coach, we know the estimate is that humans retain less than 10% of what is taught in a lesson- never mind when they are trying to address their horse in real-time. 

I cannot count how many times initially unsure new virtual coaching students have shared how much more value they have gotten out of the distance learning lessons, because they had the time to process what was being taught. Then when they headed out to interact with their horse, their clarity, intention, and awareness was significantly raised leading to significant changes and improvement with the equine. 

The video catalog was designed as a support to the coaching and an introduction to Alternative Horsemanship™... It is not your traditional "one size fits all" mindless or "it should look like this" vague horse instruction. 

Instead, it is a grouping of many aspects of horse behavior, human skills, and communication that I have found "holes in the education and understanding" after decades of teaching people worldwide of all backgrounds, disciplines, and experience levels. It is a starting point to raise self-awareness, for new thoughts, considerations, experimenting, etc... 

For those committed to developing long-term changes with the horse, I still find the one-on-one sessions to be the jumpstart most equine enthusiasts needs to find the motivation and belief that change is possible.

Sam Harvey's equestrian and horse training tactics apply to both competitive and pleasure riders. Her adaptable distance learning format can be used to supplement a rider's current horse training program or used by itself. She has had proven success in working with a variety of equestrian students worldwide, irrelevant of their chosen riding discipline or years of horse experience. Her students vary on a wide spectrum from those facing equine-related trauma or fear to those needing the mental edge when competing at the international level.

Horse Training Approach: What do you do with horses?



People often ask "what kind of horse training do you do?" I say, "I work with people and horses."

In the traditional world of horses, not categorizing yourself meant that you didn't really know a whole lot about anything. Nowadays I find it quite ironic how many students I have that many of my clients come from "specialized" trainers but are having major issues on fundamental basics with their horses and the specialized trainers are unable to help them through the situations other than forcing the horses into submission through fearful and aggressive tactics.

Three Mares in a pasture: Curious Horse Video


This was an unexpected moment I captured in the pasture with a client's three horses. One is a rescue paint mare, another is a filly brought in from the wild, and the last is an endurance Morab mare. Each horse has their own confidence and curiosity levels that they offer in their human interaction.
