Great joy in the riding therapy at the Fendsbacher Hof: A lifter was purchased that enables wheelchair users to mount a horse.
Fendsbach - The joy of riding therapy at the Fendsbacher Hof of the Steinhöring facility association is great: With the support of the Pater Rupert Mayer Foundation, a lifter was purchased that enables wheelchair users to mount a horse.
This is communicated by the institution association.
Riding therapy is - under normal circumstances - an opportunity for children with and without disabilities to meet at the Fendsbacher Hof (Pastetten municipality).
According to the press release, children and adolescents from the Erdinger St. Nikolaus School can currently only visit the institution for individual therapy.
Several of the students are dependent on the wheelchair - the new lifter offers them the opportunity to continue to participate in the therapy offer.
“The aim is, among other things, to develop, strengthen and consolidate social, cognitive, emotional and sensorimotor skills,” the facility association announced.
The range of riding therapy includes, among other things, child-friendly introduction to the horse, performance-free equestrian sport in integrative groups as well as qualified riding lessons and riding as a sport for people with disabilities - for children and young people, but also for the residents of the Fendsbacher Hof.
The riding therapy there is a facility of the Steinhöring facility group under the sponsorship of the Katholische Jugendfürsorge München und Freising eV The costs of the riding therapy - from the procurement of the horses to the riding accessories to the training and care of the animals - are financed entirely from donations, as there are no donations here state aid gives.
Anyone who would like to support the facility association here can do so with donations to the account DE74 7025 0150 0000 1332 56 at the Kreissparkasse Munich Starnberg Ebersberg under the keyword "Riding Therapy".
