The bad economic situation in Bulgaria has affected our everyday work and has increased the cost of every therapy session. Thanks to our donors the children in our Program continue improving by having their free individual therapy sessions.
In our struggle to keep providing high quality free therapeutic riding for children with disabilities we have created the project ‘’Youth in Equine-Assisted Therapy’’, supported by the European Union. In May 2022 we were honored to host international events with specialists in equine-assisted therapy practices, young people with special needs and their caretakers, youth workers, and our partners. They came to exchange good practices from France, Belgium, and Bulgaria. We spent 5 days in getting to know each other and building up our professional knowledge and skills.
The project is only part of our effort to ensure therapeutic riding within our organization is up-to-date and includes the latest novelty in the field which continues to develop rapidly. We believe that is the path towards successful establishment of our Center.

The project aims to gather organizations from different sectors and embark upon together a journey to better the quality of the work, activities and practices of the entities in the field of YEAT across the partner countries – Bulgaria, France, Belgium, the European Union and internationally. The project will advance the capacity of the participating organizations, build bridges between different sectors, address common needs and priorities in YEAT, create and spread innovative approaches in YEAT, serve children and young people with disabilities.
The first meeting of the partnering organizations already took place and the team is already working hard on collecting good practices of equine-assisted therapy from Belgium, France, and Bulgaria.
We are excited to build up our expertise in equine-assisted therapy and apply it in our Program ‘’Free Therapeutic Riding for Children with Disabilities’’.

Big News - Land for the Therapy Center
By Mina Raduncheva | Project Leader

After a lot of hard work, the team managed to find a piece of land that will be suitable for building the Horse Therapy Center. The land is conveniently located close to a road with a beautiful view of the mountains. The sound of the birds from the surrounding forests and the fresh mountain air will create the perfect environment for children to improve their conditions.
We received a lot of support from the local people. They are becoming more and more involved in our cause, understanding the importance of having a Therapy Center which will offer regularly free professional equine-assisted therapy.
Meanwhile we continue our Program for free therapeutic riding for disabled children. This winter we have one goal - to ensure that the children with disabilities continue their regular equine-assisted therapy. Our campaign ‘’Christmas Gift – Therapy for a Disabled Child’’ aims to gather funding for the Spring 2022 Program for free therapeutic riding.
