Midnight Mountain Staff



Georgie Stapleton

Georgie facilitates all the groups. She has a Masters in Counseling Psychology. She is an approved Epona instructor. Georgie has twenty years experience working with people in a variety of capacities, adolescents, families, addictions and local Mental Health facilities. She spent most of her childhood on a horse and now is combining her two passions, people and horses.

"I work collaboratively with my horses to help facilitate personal change. Horses provide mirrors into our behavior to patiently help us see old patterns that may keep us stuck. Workshops are offered regularly, individual sessions are available and clinics at other barns are possible. No horse experience is necessary, but this work also translates into your riding. I have found the “behaviors” our horses are displaying may be mirrors into ourselves. I can help you to look at these, which in turn helps you to move forward with your trainer."
