Stasia D'Onofrio is the founder and owner of Empower Stables. She has had a love for horses for as long as anyone can remember. She got her first horse, a small thoroughbred named "Diamond in the Rough", when she was only eight years old. She went on to be a top competitor in the hunter ring as well as the jumper events. Not only is she well-versed in what it takes to be competitive in the show ring, she always knows the value of building a relationship with a horse before you ever step foot in the stirrup. Stasia has a passion for sharing her knowledge with others, aware that a bond between a girl and her horse can be a source of inspiration, empowerment, and lifelong passion.
