Gassib, traded her high-profile career in finance at large banking institutions forr an entrepreneurial opportunity that combined her love of horses with her commitment to help others. After many years of acquiring struggling stables and making them profitable again, Gassib turned her attention to helping others. Most recently, she assumed what was a defunct facility in New Jersey and turned it into a profitable business in just one year. At this facility she established a nonprofit and designed a program that combines her skills as a Licensed Therapist and a Life coach to empower men, women and children who are trying to find the correct path for their lives. The stables are now home to more than 70 horses that provide a variety of services to help their human partners.

Among the people served by the program are individuals struggling with addiction, children with special needs, behavioral issues, families who cope with mental illness and veterans who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. Gassib has partnered with many organizations throughout the local area and hopes to expand the program across the East coast. Equine therapy has long been recognized as a meaningful and long-term approach to a variety of mental health and medical issues and has been known to “heal the soul,” an outcome close to Gassib’s heart.
