📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The Association A.S.D. Ali del Vento (Wind Wings) works in the field of horseback riding both with lessons in the riding school and with walks. The activity carried out also has a strong social value in the exercise of Assisted Interventions with Animals (IAA) in favour of the disabled and on the vision of a man-horse ethical perspective and on the ethological approach, not based on the exploitation of the animal but on its respect and welfare as fundamental elements. The horses of the school, in fact, all have special stories and bad experiences left behind. The recovered well-being of these horses is a wonderful combination with the happiness of children, disabled or not, who can enjoy the relationship with these beautiful animals. Among the objectives there is also the development of horseback riding for all (including adults) at low cost: horseback riding can be a sport for everyone and not a luxury.

💼 What the programme involves

The activities will take place at the riding stable managed by the Associazione le Ali del vento in Cona (Ferrara).

For the third period, the volunteers will be engaged exclusively in activities of cleaning stables, care of horses and general maintenance of the stables.
