The center aims at the integral rehabilitation of people with disabilities through equinotherapy, a method that uses the horse as a therapeutic tool. It provides care to people of any age and type of disability, with the intention of improving their quality of life and that of their families, as well as to promote a social awareness of the value and humanization of people with disabilities. Through horse therapy, the benefits offered by horseback riding such as: improves the confidence, coordination, balance and mobility of the rider, making it an excellent way to improve the living conditions of people with disabilities. that it provides great motivation and enthusiasm on the part of the patient, achieving total cooperation and therefore accelerating the process of rehabilitation, social integration and autonomy.
