Resumo: (Therapeutic Riding for Children with Disabilities)
The hosting organization provides free equine-assited therapy to children and young people with disabilities; develops methods of natural training of horses; and promotes the qualities of the horse breeds. We are a team of three people passionate about horses and helping others.

We are so dedicated to the cause that we moved to the countryside where we live together with our 14 horses and 6 dogs at an eco-friendly ranch. It is the place where all of the organization’s projects happen. To preserve the natural resources we use only renewable energy for our electricity needs. Water in the facilities also comes from our own source. The ranch raises the horses as close to their natural environment as possible. The horses live on large pastures and graze all day long with an access to a creek. The 14 horses, aged 1 to 25 years, are divided in two herds – stallions and mares. Because of the way they are raised and trained they are very calm and suitable to work with children. At the facilities there are also 4 guard dogs and 2 small dogs, companion for our visitors. Maintaining the ranch and that many horses sometimes is overwhelming but helping even one child makes it all worth.

Age: 18-30

*At the ranch electricity and water come from renewable sources and their use may have to be limited at times, depending on the weather. There is Wi-Fi available but it also depends on the weather and is not always stable. The volunteers’ kitchen and WC facilities are outdoors. There is a laundry machine at the nearby home of the team of the organization which can be used by the volunteers.

Tarefas: Our organization is dedicated to caring for our horses, mostly of the breeds Paint and Quarter, spreading the natural horsemanship method of training, and providing free therapeutic riding for children with disabilities.

The later has become our mission. We seek volunteers that will assist the instructor in the Program for Free Therapeutic Riding for Children with Disabilities.

We also need volunteers to help maintain the facilities of the ranch where the organization and its horses are based and construction of small projects.

All activities are outdoors and there are no additional requirements associated with Covid-19. The national measures for coping with Covid-19 will apply.

Condições: Accommodation is in a small house in the village 15 mins away from the ranch. The house is equipped with kitchen, bathroom and WC. There is a washing machine at the ranch where the activities take place. More about the living conditions we can provide upon request.
