I had the priviledge of witnessing Samantha Harvey’s exceptional horse training firsthand, and I am compelled to share my experience. Samantha’s unique approach to training is both enlightening and transformative, focusing on teaching horses to understand human boundaries. This methodology not only prepares the horses for a myriad of future scenarios but also significantly reduces their frustration by setting clear expectations.
- Samantha’s dedication to establishing mutual respect between horse and owner is evident in her meticulous (and I mean METICULOUS) training techniques
- Her ability to communicate effectively with the horses ensures that they learn what is expected of them in a gentle yet firm manner
- The results of her training are immediately noticeable, with horses showing a marked improvement in their behavior and interaction with humans
- Samantha’s passion for her work shines through, making the training experience not only educational but also deeply enjoyable
Samantha Harvey offers a stellar training experience that goes beyond traditional methods. Her focus on understanding and respect makes her stand out. Any horse owner looking to enhance their relationship with their horse and ensure a happy, respectful partnership would greatly benefit from Samantha’s expertise."

"I have worked with a lot of trainers but once I audited one of Samantha's classes I was hooked. It was and continues to be the best training for me and my horse. So blessed to have found her." Theresa, CA
I’ve been watching your Dear Sam series on YouTube, and it feels like you are talking directly to me and where I’m at in my human-horse relationship journey. So much of what you say is deeply resonating with me, and I finally feel like I’m starting on a path that feels right for my and Chapo’s relationship. Getting other people’s voices out of my head, and my own critical thoughts of where I’m at is difficult, but I just wanted to say thank you for helping me to find some clarity and realize I’m not alone in all of this. I wish I had more opportunities to work with you at Oakzanita, so I don’t resort to other trainers who I know aren’t putting Chapo’s mental state first, but I remember you telling me in person and through the videos that I am the voice for my horse. The only task I’m really fixated on accomplishing is building a supportive relationship with Chapo, and I will explore the additional resources your website has to offer in the meantime. Looking forward to March and April! Tori K
