Program Details
Our project combines social impact and animal care, offering therapy through deep connection between children and horses. We work alongside two trained therapists and are looking for a kind and proactive person to help with:
Feeding & cleaning the horses
Light training (bitless, saddle-free style)
Supporting therapy sessions
Maintaining a calm and respectful environment for both animals and children
We donโt use bridles or saddles โ our approach is all about freedom, trust, and emotional connection ๐๐ซ
You'll have plenty of free time to surf, explore, or rest, and weโre always open to new ideas to improve what we do. It's a beautiful place to grow, connect, and give back.
