Equi-librium harnesses the therapeutic power of horses to aid individuals facing physical, developmental, behavioral, and psychological challenges. Through equine-assisted services, we facilitate healing and growth. Tuskes Homes has played a vital role in our mission by completing essential renovations to enhance the safety and functionality of our farm for both participants and horses. These improvements encompassed various areas, including the installation of new drainage systems to prevent flooding in critical zones such as the indoor arena, classroom, and driveway. Furthermore, meticulous restoration work was undertaken on the historic red barn, including painting and lumber repairs, ensuring its enduring preservation. Additionally, the implementation of new high tensile fencing across pastures 1-3 has significantly elevated the safety standards for our resident herd of horses. Attention was also given to creating a safe, low-maintenance driveway to minimize water accumulation and potholes, further enhancing the overall safety and accessibility of our facility.
