At Heartprints Equine Assisted Coaching, we believe in the quiet, powerful connection between humans and horses.

Our mission is to create a grounded, supportive environment where individuals can explore their experiences, build self-awareness, and walk away with tools they can carry into everyday life. Through equine assisted coaching, we offer a space where people feel seen, supported, and empowered to move forward.

Located in Cave Creek, Arizona, Heartprints is more than a program — it is a place to slow down, reconnect, and begin again.

A Different Kind of Support

We believe that growth doesn’t always happen through conversation alone.

Horses offer a unique presence — one that is honest, intuitive, and free of judgment. They respond to what is real, not what is said. Through guided interaction with horses, clients are able to gain insight into patterns, behaviors, and emotions in a way that feels natural and deeply personal.

Often referred to as “horse therapy,” equine assisted coaching is a hands-on, experiential process that supports emotional growth and self-awareness. It is a “cousin” to therapy — offering meaningful support without being clinical or diagnostic.

Each experience is unique. There is no script, no pressure, and no expectation to perform.

How Heartprints Began

Heartprints was created from a vision to offer something different — a space where people could experience healing and growth in a way that feels authentic and grounded.

After acquiring Windy Hill Ranch, the Steinbrink family saw an opportunity to create a place of refuge within the natural beauty of the desert. Surrounded by open skies, quiet landscapes, and the presence of horses, Heartprints was born.

What started as a dream has become a place where people come to reconnect with themselves, find clarity, and move forward with greater confidence and awareness.

Why Horses?

Horses are highly sensitive to the emotions and energy around them.

They don’t respond to words — they respond to presence.

Because of this, they offer a kind of feedback that is honest, immediate, and deeply insightful. They reflect what is happening beneath the surface, helping individuals recognize patterns and shift in ways that feel natural and lasting.

This connection is what makes equine assisted coaching so powerful.

Windy Hill Ranch

  • A warm, welcoming barn environment
  • Open spaces to explore and reflect
  • A quiet setting away from the noise of everyday life

Beyond the horses, the ranch includes:

  • A small farm and garden

It’s a place where people can step away from distractions and reconnect with what matters most.
