Experience a New Perspective
Equine Guided Education is a dynamic international field where "Horses model the essential qualities of trust, authenticity, honesty, intuition, listening, and willingness of spirit." Ariana Strozzi, Horse Sense for the Leader Within. The amazing thing about them is that they have no agenda with us, they do however mirror back to us our strengths of character, our heart, and our real intentions, which are often incongruent with what we say we are; and this allows us to expand on our self-limiting perceptions.

Tailored to your specific desires and intentions, the Smoketree Programs, designed by Dr. Sandra Thorpe, using her thirty five years of educational background from kindergarten through the master's level at National University, are guaranteed to produce results in awareness and enhanced understanding of self and others. The horses provide the means to new metaphors and insights through their participation in the program. We do not necessarily ride the horses, we connect to their wonderful teaching through hands on experiential activities.

We can take you, your family, or your corporate employees to new levels of understanding and awareness. We will gladly send you a free brochure of our unique programs.
