🏢 About the local organisation
Der Rosenhof Bieswang e.V. ist ein gemeinnütziger Verein und orientierert sich an christlichen Werten.
Das Leitbild des Vereins beinhaltet die respektvolle Begegnung von Mensch, Pferd, Tier und Natur und das Akzeptieren jedes Einzelnen in seiner Einmaligkeit. Der Rosenhof unterstützt die Menschen mit den Pferden in der Entwicklung ihrer Persönlichkeit, gemäß ihrer eigenen Natur und ihren Talenten. Als heilpädagogischer Reiterhof besitzen wir neben unseren 15 Pferden und Ponys auch viele weitere "typische" Bauernhof-Tiere.
Zu unseren Aktivitäten gehören neben dem therapeutischen Reiten auch ein ganzheitlicher Reitunterricht auf der Grundlage der Methode des "Centered Riding" sowie Pferdetraining und die Ausbildung von Reitpferden. Darüber hinaus bieten wir auf unserem Hof auch Reiterferien für Gruppen und Urlaub auf dem Bauernhof für Familien an. Weiterhin gehören zu unserem Portfolio auch erlebnis- und naturpädagogische Projekte. Auch Schulklassen verbringen ihre Klassenfahrten häufig auf unserem Hof, genauso wie verschiedene andere soziale Einrichtungen ihre Ferienfreizeiten.
Unsere Zielgruppe besteht zu ca. 95% aus Kindern und Jugendlichen im Alter von von drei bis 16 Jahren, sowohl mit als auch ohne Behinderung beziehungsweise Verhaltensauffälligkeiten, die restlichen ca. 5% werden von Erwachsenen gebildet.
Unsere Schwerpunkte im therapeutischen Bereich sind Entwicklunsverzögerungen verschiedener Ursache, Folgen von Frühgeburten sowie emotionale und soziale Entwicklungsstörungen. Aber auch Kinder und Jugendliche mit Autismus-Syndromen, ADHS, Lernbehinderung oder geistiger Behinderung sowie Opfer von sexuellem Missbrauch werden auf dem Hof reittherapeutisch begleitet.
