Horses are social animals, very much like humans. Their peer structure is
observable and identifiable. Yet horse and humans differ in at least one key aspect:
Humans are natural predators, while horses are prey animals. Prey animals are
constantly scanning their surroundings for potential threats, making them excellent
barometers for how human actions speak louder than words. The size and power
of the horse also is naturally intimidating to many people. Accomplishing a task in
spite of these fears help people develop confidence. Horses have the ability to
mirror what human body language is telling them. They help us to learn to express
gratitude. We never walk away from our horses without thanking them for time
spent and lessons learned.
Program Skills:
Horses Helping Humans programs do not focus solely on horse-riding or
horsemanship. A session involves setting up activities with horses that will require
students to apply certain skills. Students may not be accustomed to using these
skills. They include the following:

  • Creative Thinking
  • Effective Communication
  • Problem Solving Techniques
  • Leadership
  • Responsibility
  • Teamwork
  • Self-confidence

These tools are immensely important in helping our youth obtain the confidence to
withstand today's pressures and help them make responsible and thoughtful
choices. Horses help humans learn about honesty, responsibility and accountability
for every choice we make.
        
HORSES HELPING HUMANS & CINDY HARTZELL
Experiential Learning
What is Horses Helping Humans?
Horses Helping Humans is an experiential
learning experience by engaging people with
horses, offering them the opportunity to fully
participate with their mind, body and spirit.
Experiential education is learning by doing with
reflection.
No previous horse experience is
necessary.

It's About Change....
Horses Helping Humans is an experiential approach designed to bring people a
better understanding of how they present themselves in the world and how
changes in their beliefs and subsequently their behavior
can create positive
changes in their lives.

Horses and Humans operate from many different modes of consciousness. We
have our reactive mode, this is seen in the horse by their flight response to what
they perceive as danger or as our default behavior. We have our thinking mode;
this is displayed by a horse standing still, ears perked up and licking their lips and
our contemplation (being in our head). We have our intuitive mode; this is
displayed by a horse who is working with humans and seeks out the individual
they are connected to, sensing who they can help. This their gut feeling as well
as ours. We often operate from these modes of consciousness unintentionally.
Do you know what modes you operate from?
It's About Connection....
Horses Helping Humans is for
people seeking a relationship with
horses and discovering more
about themselves. These beautiful animals have so much to teach us about
intimacy, boundaries, our emotions and our own intuitive abilities.

Being with horses is about being in the present moment, mindfulness, simplicity,
encouraging and enhancing our spiritual connection with all of life and the world
around us.

EQUINE SERVICES OFFERED:
Cindy Hartzell offers a variety of services for the horses in our lives. Horses
are sensory aware animals, this means they are acutely attuned to everything in
their environment. When we ask a horse to partner up with us in any way we
are exposing them to stress factors that can affect them either
physically,mentally or emotionally. At times they can be affected on all of these
levels. This is why Cindy Hartzell offers sessions in the following areas:
EQUINE COMMUNICATION, EQUINE ACUPRESSURE MASSAGE,
EQUINE REIKI with AROMATHERAPY  AND RAINDROP THERAPY.
For more information on any of these services please contact Cindy by
email:cyahart@yahoo.com or (530) 386-3639
