The hippotherapy project takes place in the countryside around Ravenna, at Villaggio Lakota, which was established to create social inclusion through recreational and sporting activities
The project
Our relationship to animals touches our feelings and that is why hippotherapy works miracles, especially for young people with autism spectrum disorder. Taking care of a horse, tending to it and then riding it, is a relationship journey that gives confidence and stability in the most natural way. The Project offers the opportunity to develop motor skills and social integration; it includes learning about the environment, the stables and the working field. The families are involved and supported on this journey, and the riding school offers unique opportunities to carry out outdoor activities where they can interact with each other. The project includes the possibility of taking the young people to the Special Olympics and Paralympics.
The project will develop over a period of 3 years, with a total support of 139,135.00 euros
