Equestrian Therapy
We have always believed that Equine therapy should become a great part in our new project and we have thus taken on this matter knowing it comes with much responsibility. Providing adequate facilities and especially having found Alexia to join our team was enough to give us that extra push to take the last steps to complete our project.
One of our most thrilling challenges was to promote, through different activities, to include disabled people with non-disabled ones. We strongly believe that they can enrich each other through participation in activities that can indulge values and experiences that are, unfortunately, not so present in society.
We think that therapy with horses has ample room to develop and we are confident that through the active participation of all kinds of people,
we can accomplish very good results.
