CASA IBO - CONA (FE) TEEN | IBOIT05TEEN | 2024-07-03 - 2024-07-10 | MANU,ANIM | Age: 14 - 17

This proposal results from the collaboration with the Ali del Vento association, which operates in the field of horseback riding both with lessons inside and with rides. The activity carried out also takes on strong social value in the exercise of Animal Assisted Interventions (IAA) in favor of the disabled and on the vision of an ethical human-horse perspective and ethological approach, not based on the exploitation of the animal but on its respect and well-being as fundamental elements.In fact, all of the school s horses have special histories and left bad experiences behind. The recovered well-being of these horses constitutes a wonderful combination with the happiness of children, disabled and non-disabled, who can enjoy the relationship with these beautiful animals. Among the goals is also the development of affordable horseback riding for everyone (including adults): horseback riding can be a sport within everyone s reach and not a luxury.

Work: The activities will take place at the riding stables run by the Ali del vento Association in Cona (Ferrara) and will consist of collaboration in cleaning the stables and horses present at the stables, collaboration in horse care and general maintenance of the stables.
