At Smoketree Institute the
horses assist in developing the three "C"s.
Creativity involves opening one's mind to new
ideas and discovering ideas that cannot be gathered using
linear thought process. Compassion is a way of
viewing one's own and others existence and actions from a
non-judgmental open minded perspective.
Communication allows for many pathways to
send and receive information. |

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. |

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
