The Facility

Equinection is located on 112 acres developed specifically for our experiential education practice. The land was selected because of its raw beauty and privacy. Being on this land and with our horses is a vital part of the whole Equinection experience.

Every choice made constructing Equinection was carefully considered to support participants’ growth and learning. Walking trails and meditation areas are designed for quiet reflection of the work with the horses.

Meeting in our outdoor classrooms maintains a connection to nature and the horses throughout the program.

Located in the heart of the facility, The Meeting Space is our participants “home” during the day. It has a full kitchen, large porch overlooking the valley, and a spacious meeting room.

The Horses’ Home

Our horses are our treasured companions.They live in pastures with access to fresh flowing spring water and home-grown grass hay. We exercise and work the horses with the goal of creating and maintaining a trusting relationship. We are constantly learning new ways of relating that deepen our understanding of our herd.

GREEN Aspects of the Facility

Building placement, materials, and landscaping were all planned and designed first and foremost to ensure the highest learning for each client and respect for the land. To preserve the maximum amount of open space we built on very few acres. We utilized local materials and labor to minimize our carbon footprint.

• Trees were milled locally and used in buildings and fences
• Barn and stall flooring is 100% recycled tires.
• Reclaimed chestnut wood, salvaged from old barns, has been used throughout the buildings in place of purchased moldings and trim.
• 6 – 8” Soy-based insulation was used in all buildings.
