The next episode of Bergen County Audubon Society President Don Torino’s radio program, The Nature Connection, airs this Sunday, Feb. 22, from 6:30 a.m. to 7 a.m. on WFDU 89.1 FM

This month’s show features Don’s interview with Anna Gassib, Executive Director of the Bergen County Equestrian Center. Anna is an ardent advocate for horses and how these majestic animals bring people joy and comfort through equine-assisted therapy.

Anna’s efforts include establishing Our Stable Life, a program that combines her skills as a life coach with equine therapy to empower men, women and children who are trying to find the correct path for their lives. Our Stable Life serves individuals struggling with addiction, children with special needs, behavioral issues, families who cope with mental illness, veterans who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder and other matters.

The Bergen Equestrian Center is located in the Leonia section of Overpeck County Park.

The Nature Connection airs from 6:30 a.m. to 7 a.m. on the fourth Sunday of each month and is archived on https://wfdu.fm/ for the following two weeks.
