Off a busy highway two miles from the George Washington Bridge and nestled inside Overpeck County Park, more than 100 horses, ponies and even donkeys, are at home in A Stable Life, Bergen County’s first equine emotional wellness center.
“A Stable Life brings together horses and humans to establish a connection in a non-judgmental, safe environment,” founder Ana Gassib said.
“It’s a holistic approach, whether it’s riding and wanting to get in shape, mental wellness and working with horses on the ground. The majority of my clients are women who have experienced trauma and veterans who have PTSD,” Gassib said. Therapy can include group sessions or one-on-one appointments.
