Our Human Staff

Equi-librium lovingly refers to our administrative team, instructors, and therapists as “human staff” as the horses are our “equine staff” holding equally important jobs!

As a charitable non-profit organization, Equi-librium is governed by an all-volunteer Board of Directors, and managed by a professional staff of 30 paid employees. The staff is assisted by over 200 active volunteers who support the daily operations of the program. As a Premier Accredited Center of PATH International, our instructors are Certified in Equine Assisted Activities and the therapists are Registered with both PATH International and the American Hippotherapy Association.

Our staff bios are currently under construction! Check back soon!
