THERAPY THROUGH THE HORSE

• Therapy and Rehabilitation
The main  objective of this  kind of activities,   is to help
the social  integration through  the sport.     People with
physical or mental handicap follow a regular sport activity,
structured on their  specifical problem and enabling them
to have an effective relationship with “others” in the Centre:
horses, operators,  “normal”  people.   The same situation is
created for people with problems of social-psychological diseases.

The Association has a decennial experience in cooperation with institutions:
Town of Rome, County of Rome and Department Lazio.
• Support activities to the person and the family
Everyone is actually a “system”: family and society are behind him/her.
That’s why L’Auriga doesn’t work only on the “person with problems” but also
on the context in which he/she lives.
• Courses to form operators, job opportunities
The Association forms operators, in basic equestrian competences and specifical
therapeutical   training,   offering  them the possibility,   once they complete the
course, to work in the Centre.
• Work stages
L’Auriga employs also problematic people in work-stages, in order to (re)insert
them in a normal context of life and social intercourse.
• Horse training
At L’Auriga horses are trained not only for sport and leisure: the Association forms
some horses especially to work with disabled people.  They will stay at the Centre,
or continue their “professional life” elsewhere, in similar centres.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The Association promotes every initiative meant to grow knowledges and techniques
in  equestrian   activities,    especially  concerning   the  scientific  research  in  the
therapeutical-rehabilitative area.
L’Auriga has produced scientifical and didactic works, presented in meetings and
conventions, in Italy and Europe.    Also, the Association organised initiatives to
prevent and to take care of handicap.
