Either you or/and your family decide to stay with us in our nice, spacious apartment (95m2) and have the horses just in front of the door in our garden. If you stay in another accommodation and you visit us, get riding lessons and hopefully by the end of the week we go for a beautiful hack into the countryside You learn about the horse’s behaviour and his nature, learn to care for it, learn to saddle your horse etc. You work with the horse on the ground and you get lessons on the lounge in our round pen on site. Step by step you will gain confidence to lead and ride the horse by your own. You will need to know horse riding to do these trips. You will experience one of the most beautiful countryside Andalucía has to offer. Riding on our relaxed, Andalucian horses you enjoy the amazing view over the strait of Gibraltar to Africa, you ride through the pine forest on sandy ground Therapy with horses: With a qualified teacher (No previous experience with horses needed) This form of therapy is aimed at people with special needs or people who have to master and face special challenges in their lives. ‘’Challenges in life‘’ have a wide spectrum and nearly all of us have to face them at some moments and times in our lives. The word ‘’Therapy‘’ sometimes has a negative stigma attached to it. I would like you to forget about this. Of course we aim for benefit but I believe by enjoying, having fun and facing something new, the biggest benefits arise often by itself. The horse as therapist transmits and offers such a wide range of possibilities and has a call character which once in his present is often indescribable. The horse then gels with him and an interaction between man and horse gets created. Only through respect and mutual trust the basis for a relationship (exactly the same as going into relation with a person) is laid. The work takes place via the relationship triangle client, horse and therapist/teacher/facilitator. The relationship between man and horse has an archaic and symbolic primal power, which gets channelled in the interaction with the horse and has a healing support. The horse is supportive dealing with education, social, emotional and cognitive problems. In partnership and interaction between client, horse and therapist/facilitator we discover new life perspectives and gain strength ''From the horse we learn humanity '' -Hans Heinrich Isenbart - Horse therapy/being with horses facilitates to deal with symptoms such as Autism, Down syndrome, social isolation, traumas and individual issues. The horse in horse therapy is the natural mediator in the therapeutic interaction with the human being - self-reflection and acceptance are important components, which come without force -. The direct and reliable feedback of the animal transmits safety and self-efficiency to the client. Horse therapy has cognitive, emotional and physical effects on the person dealing with it. The Emotional side (examples) Horses react and reflect directly to situations and by how they are treated. The horse urges people to communicate and react. The person experiences the direct feedback of his own actions and body language while dealing with the horse. For example, being able to lead a horse requires courage, a clear appearance and enforcing power. The person will be confronted with situations in which he/she must become active. If he/she has mastered such a task, he/she will be proud of it and his/her self-esteem will be strengthened. The Cognitive side (examples) Cognition is the term used in relation to the processing of human information. Certain learning processes deliberately take place, but there are situations in which the human being is learning unconsciously. Man needs a certain motivation to learn. As the horse has a high call character motivation is usually high. By working around the horse the vocabulary is supplemented with specific words. For example, the naming of cleaning utensils, body parts of the horse. Depending on the client, new gestures are learned or he/she is asked to use the already learned gestures when working with the horse. The continuous repetition of workflows ensures security and over time allows activities to be carried out independently. The Person learns to follow instructions and can interact more and more adequate to the horse, the teacher and his surroundings. The person learns to express wishes and to give instructions. The goal is that the person becomes more and more independent and is able to demand help if necessary. This can be verbal, through gestures, or mimics. Motoric /Physical side (examples) While sitting on the horse without a saddle, the warmth and the movement of the horse has a relaxing effect on the person. Due to the rhythmic support, early deficits can be worked up. The horse's movement actively supports the patient's freedom and the equilibrium. The three-dimensional rotation movement, which is produced by the horse on the human being, in particular on his pelvis, is relaxing as well as muscle building. Possible further benefits are: Relaxing tight muscles Building muscle strength Improving fine motor coordination Sharpening hand/eye coordination Improvements in Posture & Flexibility Mountain biking.
