Hippotherapy

[PLACEHOLDER] Hippotherapy (horse-assisted therapy) uses the movement of the horse in developmental and therapeutic work. The horse’s steady, rhythmic movement helps work the trunk and pelvic muscles and develop balance and motor coordination, while the natural setting and contact with the animal also support emotional well-being. Our sessions take place at our equestrian development base in Ciaracio and are accompanied by trained professionals and helpers.

Who can it help?

[PLACEHOLDER] We recommend it above all for the development of children with special needs and mobility impairments, for example where there are difficulties with motor coordination, balance or trunk stability, although typically developing children are also welcome to take part. In every case we consult the child’s doctor, physiotherapist or speech therapist about whether the sessions are suitable.

How to apply

[PLACEHOLDER] Let our responsible staff member know you would like to apply by phone or e-mail (contact details are on this page), or write to us on the Contact page. In the first conversation we discuss the child’s needs, the necessary medical recommendation and the schedule of the sessions.
