My Goal...

Hi, my name is Maria Lee, and I'm the founder of EAF, as well as the resident Horse Specialist.  I have been studying the Parelli Natural Horsemanship Program for over 8 years now, and I cannot begin to describe the important role that it has played in my education and my life.  The forming of EAF was a direct result of the inspiration that I received from that learning.

I have learned a tremendous amount in eight years, but I feel like my journey is far from complete.  I am ready for yet a higher level of education myself, and I still very much want to bring what I have learned to others.  My goal is to enter the Parelli Professionals Program to enhance my skills and gain certifications that would allow me to share my passions and to increase my support of EAF financially and in added value of my services.   

With this certification, I could train more horse specialists for our programs, in order to reach more kids and horses.  Having the proper credentials would also allow me to teach public clinics that could raise a significant amount of funds for EAF Programs.  EAF would no longer have to wait for schools and community programs to aquire grants to pay for our services.  This would be a much needed step towards expanding EAF!
