Support our horses!

Horses are our faithful  colleagues. We couldn’t help without them, they can make the magic bound between us and the children. We would like to give them everything they need to protect their health, so they can cheerfully carry children on their backs for long time. Maintenance of horses cost serious amounts, it is a huge challenge for us, specially in cold winter time.

In spring her communication was very poor, she didn’t made eye contact, didn’t turn attention to anyone around her. Sometimes she was simply laying on the back of the horse with no interest, sometimes she was jumping on it with much...

Children and horses

A kind of magic happens when a desperately unhappy child is brought to the country to interact with horses. A change of environment, especially from an urban area to open, natural surroundings, filled with fresh air and flooded with sunshine, can have an uplifting and calming effect, and with time, a troubled teen can begin to let go of a lot of pent-up, negative emotions.
