Leonia NJ, Bergen County opened the new Equine Wellness Center in Leonia . The Bergen Equestrian Center established in 1974 is a multi service horse facility on 22 acres of landscaped grounds providing a home for over 75 horses at Overpeck County Park in Leonia, New Jersey, (minutes away from the GWB.) Amenities include 3 outdoor riding rings, 2 indoor riding rings, air conditioned tack rooms, heated lounge with a panoramic view of the main indoor arena for an optimum year round experience. Programs include children’s camp, group and individual riding lessons, corporate team building and A Stable Life. A Stable Life is an equine assisted therapy program for families, small groups and individuals looking to heal their souls with the presence and grace of a horse. Dedicated and fully trained staff and therapists work to ensure participants receive a positive experience. The facility is also the home to Columbia University’s Man of War Program.
Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco said in a Facebook post, “We couldn’t ask for better weather to cut the ribbon on the Bergen Equestrian Center’s new Equine Wellness Center! This new center will allow for the expansion of the Equestrian Center’s “A Stable Life” Program, which is a treatment program focused on prevention, education, healing, and assisted recovery for members of our community dealing with life’s many challenges.”
Tedesco went on , “From our veterans to our children, every single person can benefit from this program. Whether it be someone suffering from addiction, anxiety, depression, PTSD, or isolation, “A Stable Life” utilizes the soothing spirit of horses to promote true healing right in the central park of the Bergen County Parks System at Overpeck County Park.”
“The County is proud to be able to partner with the Bergen Equestrian Center to offer this invaluable and innovative resource, expanding accessibility and promoting mental wellness for all our communities.
I encourage anyone who is dealing with any kind of hardship to come visit the Bergen Equestrian Center and see what the “Stable Life” program can do for you. Know that, in Bergen County, there is always help and there is always hope.”

Tedesco again !
He is relentless.
Tedesco never misses an opportunity to do two things. First, to get his fat ass into a photo op, and second, to ignore the horrible, sunken manhole, overfilled pothole-infested Bergen County roads. FIX THE DAMN ROADS.
