Timber and Opie say they promise that they’ll play nicely together.
(We don’t believe them 😉)

Did you know that our herds are carefully managed by our Equine Operations Director to ensure that each horse gets ample socialization? Some horses prefer to lead, some prefer to follow, and some like to blend in to the group! Some do best with a particular friend, while others get in less trouble with that friend when there is a fence dividing them. Managing herd dynamics can be an art when each horse has their own unique personality!

Thank you Byway Farm LLC- Arena Design & Equestrian Construction for working magic in our indoor arena!

🚧 Pardon our Dust 🚧

During this chilly two-week program break, lots of work has been happening around our property. Today, our indoor arena was regraded to better maintain the comfort of our horses and volunteers. While we can’t entirely prevent hard footing in freezing temperatures, this will surely help.

Additionally, some of our office staff have been hard at work putting the finishing touches on the interior of our library to make it a comfortable place for volunteers to store their belongings, relax during downtime, and warm up/cool down between lessons. Photos coming soon!

We are grateful to receive a grant from IronPigs Charities for the 2026 program year! Over $80,000 in grants were provided to local nonprofit organizations this year; we’re very lucky to be a part of this community!

Some of our mares enjoying time outside in the snow ❄️ We want to give a huge shoutout to the staff and volunteers who cared for the horses during the blizzard and worked to keep our property accessible during and after the snow. Thank you to Jeff, Scott, Brett, Kim, Kaelyn, Brandy, and Mara for all of your work keeping our horses safe and happy!

Our team is working on emergency preparations for the upcoming snow storm this Sunday. We have incredible employees and neighbors who will be ensuring the safety of the horses, and who will be clearing the driveway and paths once it is safe to do so.

Currently, we are anticipating the farm being CLOSED to any non-essential workers on Sunday and Monday. We are on a program break until February, so no participants should be impacted by prospective closures.

Please note that speed bumps have been temporarily removed from the driveway to allow for plowing. PLEASE continue to drive slowly and carefully, yielding to animals and pedestrians, even in the absence of speed bumps.

Thank you!

As it stands, I'm confident in a widespread blanket of heavy snow. We may have to introduce sleet & freezing rain into the mix overnight Sunday and into Monday more certainly for the I-95 corridor, but up to route I-78 isn't ruled out right now. However, this would come AFTER 12"+ of snow has fallen across the Lehigh Valley. We are fairly confident this starts around daybreak Sunday, but the end time is more iffy. Some models have the storm pulling out early Monday morning, while others have it ending late in the afternoon/evening. Stay tuned as we have plenty of time to fine tune.

We MAY reach BLIZZARD WARNING criteria Sunday evening into very early Monday morning (Defined as: Sustained or frequent gusts to 35 mph or greater and considerable falling and/or blowing snow. These conditions must last for at least 3 hrs.)

Start Time: Sunday Morning 3AM-8AM
End Time: Monday Morning-Afternoon
Stickage: All Surfaces
Power Outages: Possible
Snow Type: Fluffy/Dry
Winds: Wind gusts up to 35MPH Sunday Night.
Hazards: Blowing & Drifting

Lollipops? This storm may throw some suprises, especially Monday morning, but it's too soon to speculate. Intense banding is a POSSIBILITY as the storm starts to pull away. I think RIGHT now the ceiling is 18". I don't see anything AT THIS TIME to support extreme frontogenesis banding to support 20"+ amounts. We will monitor.

We will continue to intensively track and fine tune this forecast.

Hats off to our amazing winter volunteers! In addition to normal program operations, they have been hand-walking our horses during break weeks and freezing temperatures and cleaning muddy horses now that the snow has melted and our pastures are mud!

01/10/2026

A sight we love to see - our horses relaxing comfortably in their stalls after a full night outside!

Turnout has been limited over the past few weeks due to icy conditions in our pastures. We’re so thankful to the staff and volunteers who have been hand walking the horses for some extra exercise, and we’re thrilled that the pastures have thawed (for now!) and the horses are back to a more normal turnout schedule.

While January is one of our quieter months at the farm, we are still operating programs with approximately 80 participants each week! Our team has also been hard at work keeping the property safely traversable in winter weather, training and onboarding new horses, and planning exciting new programming for 2026!

01/01/2026

January 1st marks not only the first day of the Year of the Horse, but also the unofficial birthday of many of our horses - a default for many breeds along with many horses who are unregistered.

George’s friend Nancy stopped by with a birthday gift; this big guy is 21 years old! 🎉

It was a very cold, but successful first day at Peepsfest! We’ll be here at ArtsQuest tomorrow as well from 3:00-6:00 pm with activities, giveaways, and more! If you have tickets to this sold out event, make sure to stop by our tent!

Thank you to Just Born, Inc. for having us, and to our volunteers and staff members braving the cold and windy weather!

Rosalia has enjoyed getting to know the staff, horses, and fellow volunteers at Equi-librium.

"The staff at Equi-librium are truly dedicated and exemplary individuals who care for the horses, barn, animals, land, and mission with unparalleled care and dedication," says Rosalia. "The instructors lead with compassion, kindness, skill, creativitiy, and respect. The volunteers are truly special, generous individuals, who are the backbone of the program, without whom the mission could not be the success that it is. Continuing education and volunteer enrichments are the heartbeat of the program, bridging the importance of equine partnerships, safety, supporting participants, and programs.

The horses are extraordinary and sentient beings, that offer more than a ride, their strength for pulling, or their bodies for grooming. They offer their heats, their whole selves, their spirit, and their divine knowing for the beauty of unspoken connection. The time in their presence is a present. It’s living in the moment and the beauty of letting everything else go.

This is what Equi-libtium and its mission mean to me. It’s healing. It’s holistic. It’s life-changing.
