Crisis Resources

Equuvation Therapy + Education Center is currently closed due to the COVID-19 health crisis. While we hope to resume sessions, programs and events in late April, we must remain nimble to the state of our country and local community. In the meantime, we hope these resources prove helpful for those in need of therapeutic and/or educational services; or help with your horses. If you are a current Equuvation client, and need to be in contact with your therapist or other staff member, please contact us here. {rev. 04.05.20}
