History

The Equestrian Center at Beverly Farm was established in 1993 as a part of our Development Training Program.  Through the years the Equestrian Center has transformed to include our residents as well as the community.  Equine Assisted Activities(EAA) provide a way to blend the therapeutic benefits of horsemanship into a fun and engaging activity.  Whether it’s Special Olympics or summer camps, everyone has the opportunity to participate.  Horses create a positive playing field that defies age, race, ability or disability.
