In the Beginning....
In early 2006 Cindy decided both
children and adults could benefit
from the melding of all of her
disciplines. Courses are now
offered and designed for
individuals (both children and
adults) or groups (families, teen
groups, business associates).
Classes are tailored for the
specific interest of the student(s)
or group. In 2008 she teamed up
with Sierra Family Service's
therapist; Shawn and Tracey
offering Equine Assisted
Psychotherapy to
individuals,families and groups.
The winter 0f 2009 Cindy
expanded her education into
Equine assisted Life Coaching and
has enjoyed the opportunity to
help people discover their life's
passion & purpose through
working with the horses.
The Horse Team
The current equine partners that assist in your training are Magic, a
twenty-four year old Thoroughbred . Magic was a performance horse for
most of his life prior to joining
Horses Helping Humans. Gino is a 10 year
Tennessee Walking horse who was given to Cindy after suffering a severe
riding accident in 2003. Horses like people can suffer from emotional trauma
and that is the case with Gino. He has severe trust issues and frightens
easily. Cindy only allows him to work with certain individuals that often have
fear and trust issues themselves. Gino will tell her who he wants to work
with and when he does it is always transformational for both client and Gino.
Gino is currently a Level II Parelli Natural Horsemanship horse and Cindy's
very dear friend. Last but certainly not least is our newest addition: Rondo's
Carbon Copy! He was born June 13, 2008 and he is the apple of Cindy's eye.
He is still a little young to do much of this Equine Experiential work but
apparently someone forgot to tell him that. He has already worked with a
few clients and he seems to like to remind us all of our inner child who is
curious, playful and has no fear. He is also about to graduate his level I of
Parelli Natural Horsemanship ground skills and we are all very grateful to
have him in our herd.

Behind the Scenes-Bruce A. Hartzell
Bruce acts as the behind the scenes, jack of all
trades guy. When he's not practicing
veterinary medicine on a full-time basis, he
handles the required repairs, media issues,
photography, computer editing, harrowing the
corral, consulting and occasional advisor role.
The Groupies:
Barley (sitting) and Patti (laying
down) are two eight year old
Queensland heelers. These two
are the constant and near
inseparable companions to
Cindy. Both consider
themselves underpaid and
overworked feeding assistants
to
Horses Helping Humans.

July 2009 to present
Rondo's Carbon Copy aka "RC" is our newest
addition. He was acquired in loving memory of
Rondo who succumb to colic on 2/21/09. "RC"
is a adopted PMU foal and we are honored to
have him join our herd! Keep posted for
ongoing updates.
Sky and Rondo were Cindy's
original team they have since
moved on to greener pastures.
They are dearly missed by all of us!
Gino watches over our newest
herd member: RC, they are
very close and Gino takes very
good care of the little guy.
Magic is a retired athlete and was
donated to our program in the
summer of 2008. Not only has he
become a very valuable member of
our team, he has also become my
riding partner. When we are not
working with people, the two of us
can be found strolling along one of
our favorite forest trails enjoying
each others company.
