Boo Martin is a visionary, master horsewoman, and highly-regarded community and team leader who has taught and inspired thousands of groups and individuals through the camps, retreats and trainings held at her historic Stepping Stones Farm in Temple, NH. She is the Founder and former Executive Director of the award-winning nonprofit, Touchstone Farm, as well as Horse Power Instructor Training School. Boo currently consults in strategic planning and fundraising for other nonprofit organizations, plus continues to empower clients through her newest venture, Wisdom Horse, LLC, which offers unmounted experiential equine education.
The Equine Assisted Learning sessions at Somœtic™ are led by Boo and are the outcome of her training and accreditation through the E3A as a Certified Equine Facilitator. Building upon the Clifton Strength-Based Leadership Model, she and her horses help clients tap into their natural talents and innate abilities through dynamic group interactions, designed to strengthen self-awareness and enhance teamwork. Boo holds a Master of Education in Organization and Management from Antioch University, which further informs her natural ability to connect with teams and individuals to illuminate how learnings in the arena can be directly applied back at the office.
