At Heartprints Equine Assisted Coaching, the animals are not just part of the experience — they are at the heart of it.

Each horse brings their own personality, presence, and energy into every session. Alongside them, the other animals on the ranch help create a warm, welcoming environment that feels alive, grounded, and real.

These animals are deeply cared for, respected, and loved — and they play an important role in every interaction that happens here.

Our Horses

The horses at Heartprints are intuitive, responsive, and incredibly aware of the energy around them.

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

Because of this, they are able to reflect emotions, behaviors, and patterns in a way that helps individuals gain awareness and insight. Each horse brings something different to the experience, making every session

Clyde

Clyde is a 5-year-old Quarter Horse / Arabian cross with a big personality.

He’s known as the class clown of the group — always looking for something to play with or someone to interact with. Clyde is incredibly curious and very food motivated, which keeps everyone on their toes.

His playful nature often brings lightness into sessions, reminding people not to take everything so seriously.

Finn

Finn is an 11-year-old purebred Arabian gelding and a retired show horse.

After competing in halter and hunter pleasure classes, Finn now enjoys a more relaxed life at the ranch. He’s known for his independence — occasionally letting himself out of his stall when he’s ready to explore.

Finn brings a calm, steady presence and enjoys simple things like carrots, peppermints, and time outdoors.

Idol

Idol is a 16-year-old Morgan/Arabian gelding and a former western pleasure champion.

He’s incredibly affectionate and loves attention — especially cuddles and treats. Idol has a way of making sure no one walks past him without saying hello.

His gentle, engaging nature makes him a favorite among many who visit the ranch.

Rio

Rio, often called “Baby Rio” or “Baby Dragon,” is a 4-year-old purebred Arabian gelding.

Like most young horses, Rio is full of curiosity and energy. He’s always exploring, often putting everything in his mouth and getting into playful mischief.

His personality brings energy and unpredictability, adding a dynamic element to the herd.

Catch

Catch is one of the newer members of the Heartprints team and is estimated to be around 6 years old.

He earned his name from his love of freedom — sometimes requiring a bit of extra effort to bring him back in from turnout. Despite this, he is incredibly sweet and enjoys attention, especially neck scratches.

Catch is quickly becoming a favorite around the ranch.

The Donkeys

Walt & Woody

These 5-year-old donkey brothers are proof that big personalities come in small packages.

Walt is the more reserved of the two, while Woody is happy to soak up attention — especially if treats are involved. Together, they add a playful and approachable energy to the ranch.

The Rest of the Crew

More than just horses, Heartprints is home to a variety of animals that help create a welcoming and lively environment.

Cheeto

Cheeto prefers to stay right in the middle of the action.

Whether he’s hanging out in the barn aisle or greeting visitors as they arrive, he’s always close by. Friendly and easygoing, Cheeto is quick to accept a scratch and adds to the warm, welcoming feel of Heartprints.

Jerry

Jerry is convinced he should be a full-time house cat.

You’ll often find him trying to sneak into spaces where he definitely doesn’t belong — or watching everything from a cozy spot nearby. Despite his independent streak, Jerry enjoys attention on his own terms and brings a quiet, curious presence to the ranch.

Bennett, Smoky & Buck

The official welcome committee.

These three are always involved in whatever is happening on the ranch. Friendly, energetic, and curious, they help create a relaxed and inviting atmosphere from the moment you arrive.

The Chickens

The chickens may not lead sessions, but they’re an important part of life at the ranch.

You’ll often find them wandering the coop, pecking around, or quietly going about their day. Their steady, simple rhythm adds to the peaceful atmosphere of Heartprints — a reminder that not everything has to be rushed.

They’re just one more piece of what makes the ranch feel grounded, alive, and welcoming.

Why the Animals Matter

Each animal at Heartprints plays a role in creating an environment where people feel safe, grounded, and connected.

The horses, especially, offer a kind of presence that is difficult to explain but easy to feel. Their ability to respond honestly and without judgment creates space for real awareness and growth.

Together, the animals help make Heartprints what it is — a place where connection comes first.

Experience It for Yourself

The best way to understand the connection between people and horses is to experience it firsthand.
