History
The Equestrian Center joined the Beverly Farm Campus in 1993. Originally a part of the Developmental Learning and Training Program, it provided occupational and physical therapies for the residents. Fast forward to now and the Equestrian Center has become its own stand-alone program that is open to the community as well as the residents. Though no longer providing therapy, the Equestrian Center has no storage of programs and services to offer for everyone.
