A small part of our horse family
With the falling of the leaves our season for actively working with children with special needs is slowly coming to an end. It was a great journey to follow the kids in our Program and support them in improving their physical and mental health. We are grateful to be able to overcome the challenge of the extremely hot weather we experienced this summer in Bulgaria and still manage to continue the free therapy sessions for the children.
We developed innovative environmentally friendly outdoor activities especially for young people with disabilities, young people at risk, and young women. The development was part of our project Youth Going Back to Nature – Engage, Connect, Empower. More open resources and interesting information can be found on the platform that is being developed – www.outdoorportal.eu .
The plans for 2025 began and we cannot wait to join forces with you and all our allies in bringing joy and happiness to more children with special needs. Thank you for inspiring us and being with us all this time!

Welcome to Another Child in our Therapy Program
By Mina Raduncheva | Project Leader

A little boy of only 4 years joined the program for Free Therapeutic Riding for Children with Disabilities. He suffers from Cerebral Palsy which doesn’t allow him to walk properly. His bright mind and spirit are an inspiration to all of us. He already started to get to know the horses in our farm and will be benefiting from the first lessons. Let’s all welcome I. and his family!
At the same time we have not forgotten about growing and being active in working for the young people who experience challenges. We co-authored new tools within the project Youth Going Back to Nature – Engage, Connect, Empower. A Toolkit and a documentary ‘’Young Women Going Back to Nature’’ are now available for free download on our website. More open resources and interesting information can be found on the platform that is being developed – www.outdoorportal.eu .
To advance communication with people with intellectual disabilities we became part of a project dedicated to the development of alternative augmentative communication (RURAAC). Now anyone can apply it thanks to the free The Booklet - Training modules on Alternative Augmentative Communication for natural heritage, ready to dowload here.
Thank you for being with us for another year of making a difference!

2024 waits us with New Challenges

Our team welcomed the new year with a lot of excitement about all we have planned.
We are preparing for the new season of the program for Free Therapeutic Riding for Children with Disabilities. We are excited to be organizing a few inclusive outdoor events this summer that will be designed to include people with special needs of all ages.
All of our projects are up and running. We are still developing many useful tools within the project Youth Going Back to Nature – Engage, Connect, Empower and looking forward to new initiatives.
Finally, we keep on working with our foals that need to get used to being around people and get used to objects such as buckets, ropes, gates, and others.
All that is possible only because of our supporters and their continuing contributions. We are grateful for everyone of them and their dedication to our cause!
