Last wekk I spent a wonderful afternoon - I accompanied Nina and her friends to a therapeutic riding lesson with KRILA.
KRILA is a
non-governmental, non-profit humanitarian organization located in
Zagreb, which offers therapeutic riding to people with physical
disabilities.
KRILA
-- meaning 'wings' in Croatian -- makes this stimulating, safe and
effective therapy available, to people with various disabilities
from the greater Zagreb area. Their riding significantly improves their
physical and psychological condition and enables them to participate in
activities otherwise inaccessible to them.
The girls feel at home there and here they are preparing themself for riding
Nina has chosen her favorite horse
It had to be prepared as well.
At last on the horseback.
Matea was frightend and the trainer tried in vain to persuade her to mount the horse.
But no chance, at last a substitute had to be found.
And after riding Ninas favorit animal - the cat!
What a wonderful experience!
ReplyDeleteI used to have horses and trained a couple. Animals are a awesome tool for helping people with all kinds of problems. What a precious story today, just loved the pictures ! Hope you get your package I sent soon! Hugs my friend!
