HeartSoul Ranch
More than horsemanship.
More than personal growth.
A place where horses and women learn, heal, and grow together.
Because every horse and woman deserve to feel safe, seen, and understood.
We believe many of the behaviors we call problems—whether in horses or in ourselves—are actually questions waiting to be understood.
Through trust, confidence, connection, communication, and presence, we help women and horses build deeper relationships with themselves, each other, and the world around them.
Whether you're seeking a deeper partnership with your horse or a sanctuary to reconnect with yourself, you'll find our ongoing offerings below.
For special events, clinics, and workshops, visit the Clinics & Workshops page above.
Where horses are given permission to ask questions.
Where women are given permission to come as they are.

Because every horse and woman deserve to feel safe, seen, and understood.

A place where horses are given permission to ask questions.
And women discover the ease that comes from true partnership.
Listen Beyond Behavior. Understand What Your Animal is Experiencing
Animal communication and Reiki sessions offer a grounded way to understand what your animal may be experiencing—emotionally, physically, and within your shared connection.
This work is quiet, steady, and focused on what’s actually happening beneath the surface.
Whether you’re navigating a concern, a transition, or simply want a deeper understanding, these sessions create space to listen more clearly and support your animal in a meaningful way.
Animal Communication & Reiki Sessions
Animal Communication Session
A focused session to understand what your animal may be experiencing.
Through intuitive communication, I tune into your animal to sense what they are feeling, responding to, and aware of—beyond what is visible on the surface.
These sessions can bring clarity around behavior, emotional states, physical discomfort, transitions, or the overall relationship between you and your animal.
You're welcome to bring specific questions, or simply a desire to understand them more deeply.
Animal Communication + Reiki Session
This session combines intuitive communication with Reiki support.
Along with understanding what your animal is experiencing, Reiki works with your animal’s natural ability to restore balance—creating a calm, supportive space for relaxation, ease, and regulation.
It can be especially supportive for animals experiencing:
- stress or anxiety
- physical discomfort
- emotional processing
- transitions or aging
These sessions are quiet and non-invasive, allowing your animal to receive support in whatever way serves them best.
Many animals visibly soften and settle during this work.
This option allows both insight and energetic support to work together.
The Inner Work of the Horsewoman
I guide women in building a deeper, more connected relationship with their horses—by starting within.
Through a Rooted • Regulated • Anchored approach, I help both horse and human become more steady, aware, and confident together.
This isn’t about forcing or fixing.
It’s about learning to feel, listen, and lead in a way your horse can trust.
Inspired by Horses. Written for Women.
Cindy Hartzell is the author of Breaking the Chains Within and Where the Hoofprints Lead—two deeply reflective books that blend personal experiences, life lessons, guided reflection questions, and the wisdom of horses to inspire courage, self-discovery, connection, and personal transformation.
More than books to be read, they are invitations to pause, reflect, and explore your own journey with greater awareness, trust, and possibility.

About Me
I believe every horse and every woman deserve to feel safe, seen, and understood.
I am the founder of HeartSoul Ranch, a sanctuary where horses and women come together to learn, grow, and discover what becomes possible through trust, connection, presence, and authentic partnership.
My work is rooted in a lifelong love of animals, over three decades of horsemanship experience, and a deep understanding of the powerful lessons horses can teach us about ourselves.
As a Horsemanship Mentor, Animal Communicator, Reiki Master Teacher, and Transformational Coach, I help women build deeper relationships with their horses, themselves, and the world around them.
For horsewomen, this often means learning how to create a partnership built on trust, communication, confidence, and mutual understanding.
For women without horses, it may mean experiencing the quiet wisdom of the herd through guided experiences designed to foster greater awareness, connection, joy, and presence.
I have been communicating with animals my entire life and have worked professionally as an animal intuitive for more than twenty years, helping people better understand what their animals may be experiencing physically, emotionally, and within the relationships they share.
I am also the author of Breaking the Chains Within and Where the Hoofprints Lead, two books inspired by the transformative lessons horses teach us about courage, connection, resilience, and navigating life's journey.
Today, my greatest passion is stewarding HeartSoul Ranch—a sanctuary where horses and women can slow down, reconnect, and discover what becomes possible when both feel safe, seen, and understood.
A place where horses are given permission to ask questions.
And women are given permission to come as they are.
