Dear Friend,
It has been a long path but this year we completed the 3rd Free Therapeutic Riding Program for Children with Disabilities. All because of our supporters. And thanks to you we are getting closer to our dream – to establish the 1st Therapeutic Riding Centre in Bulgaria!
Here is our new video. In the video you can meet the horses, learn about the kids and their parents. It is a great opportunity to forward it to your friends and family. Let them see what a wonderful cause you are supporting.
We all wish you health and happiness!
With appreciation,
Mina Raduncheva and the team of Paint and Quarter Horse Foundation Bulgaria

With More Supporters Our Family is Getting Strong

Our growing family
On June 1st we began the 3rd Program for Free Therapeutic Riding. We had three intense months of therapy sessions with our amazing group of children with disabilities.
We are also proud that our program is growing. Volunteers from around Europe applied to participate in it. For the past months we had young people from France and Portugal assist us in the therapeutic riding sessions and get to know the children. It is an amazing experience not only for the young volunteers but also for the children. It was a first interaction for the children with people from other nationality and culture.
This summer the children and their parents were coming at least once a week to our ranch. They got to pick a favourite horse, learn how to brush it and gave the horses lots of treats. Some children like Johan even learned to saddle his favourite horse, Moby. The two are inseparable. Johan loves to pet Moby from the ground and when he is on his back. There is nothing the two love more than picking apples from our 70 years old apple trees and having a treat. Johan is diagnosed with epilepsy but that will not stop him from doing what he enjoys and helps him live a better life – therapeutic riding.
The story of Johan and Moby is only one of the many more to come. Once we have our therapeutic riding centre Johan and his single mother will be able to stay with us and receive the number of therapies they need.
Join our family and let's do it.
Stay healthy and safe!

One Step at a Time

We appreciate your support that is bringing us closer to the establishment of the therapeutic riding centre!
Facing the pandemic of COVID-19, the changes in the country and the entire world we realize even better the importance of our mission. The children with disabilities and their parents are in great difficulty due to the imposed isolation and lack of access to rehabilitation. Most of them show great regress in their mental and physical conditions. Parents shared with us that problems of nervousness and aggression become an everyday occurrence.
What the children with disabilities will need very soon is intensive care and rehabilitation. For months they will not be able to get back to normal. That is the reason our team struggles to create the first Horse Therapy Centre in Bulgaria as soon as possible, so that the children who need an emergency relief can benefit from the healing powers of the horse. We know that with your support and many fellows like you it will be possible!
Stay healthy and safe!
