Bio
Stanlee Smith lived and dreamed of horses for most of her childhood. She hung out with horses whenever she could, competed in hunter/jumper, eventing, and dressage disciplines. Becoming disillusioned with coercive methods used to train horses, Stanlee gravitated to Natural Horsemanship. Always yearning to integrate her life's work with her passion for horses, when she discovered Barbara Rector's AIA Equine-Facilitated program, everything seemed to fall into place.
For the last 30 years Stanlee has been studying the healing arts as well as pursuing her own personal and spiritual quest, focusing on meditative exploration, self-realization, and human growth and development. Flowing into the field of equine- assisted growth and learning was just the next logical step.
In the last few years Stanlee has been a part of the Feminine Power Global Community, is a graduate of the 9 month Feminine Power Master Course and continues to be involved and evolve with this work. www.femininepower.com
