MIDDLEBURY, Ind. -- After around seven months of repairs and waiting, LoveWay has reopened.

Due to mold found in classrooms and offices, LoveWay required necessary repairs and received new HVAC and electrical systems, making their new facilities ADA compliant.

Wednesday evening, community members gathered at the revamped facility for a ribbon cutting ceremony, tour of the new repairs, and a visit with some of the resident horses.

"When a human and a horse come together, heartbeats synchronize, blood pressure lowers, anxiety declines." Said Jennifer Irions, President of the Board of Directors at LoveWay. "There's just so many numerous benefits from the interaction between horses and humans, and we're proud to support that that facilitation of healing and growth with the clients that we serve."
