Veterinary Clinic.
Cindy began volunteering for a wild mustang non-profit in Reno, Nevada

She has adopted 4 wild mustangs that she is now training to become a part
of her equine facilitated learning team.

| Apache is a 3 year old Virginia Range wild mustang who was removed from the range in 2012. He became a part of our herd in October 2013. He is adjusting nicely to being with us and we look forward to having him join us in our HEARTSOUL programs |
| Dream Catcher picked me out of a group of people on a 200 acre in February 2013 and joined our herd in May. She is a lovely mare and was the alpha mare of Apache's band. I look forward to the day I can reunite them. Chief is a 4 year old mustang paint horse who was captured off the Virginia range in August and joined our herd in October. He is still very shy and needs things to be taken slow. He is now sharing a corral with Apache and is learning through Apache that humans can be trust. He is a very sweet and sensitive boy. |
The current equine partners that assist in your training are Rondo's Carbon Copy aka RC. He was
born June 13, 2008 and he is the apple of Cindy's eye. He began working with clients when he was
just 15 months old and he seems to have a gift of reminding us all of our inner child who is curious,
playful and has no fear. He has graduated his level II Parelli Natural Horsemanship and is very close
to becoming a level III graduate and we are all very grateful to have him in our herd.
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.
DreamCatcher is a 5 year mustang mare that we adopted in May of 2013 and she was very wild.
She is now becoming very gentle and loves engaging with people. She is a very confident alpha mare
and is a great teacher of women empowerment.
Apache is a 3 year old mustang gelding who is a very proud horse and up until August 2013 was a
stallion.
Chief is a 4 year old beautiful paint mustang who also was a stallion up until August of 2013. The
two of them are still very wild and are learning to trust humans. The two of them are very
wonderful examples of how you can take a living being out of the wild but it takes time and patience
and skill to help them to let go of the wild within them.
