Region of operation: São Paulo
Served audience: children in vulnerable situations
We established a partnership with the Instituto Horsoul, in Itu (SP), to structure voluntary services for young children in vulnerable situations. The initiative seeks to improve the health and quality of life of people with disabilities, especially intellectual and multiple disabilities, as well as their families, through conventional therapies and equine-assisted activities.
The approach is based on Systemic Therapeutic Riding, in which patients ride together and share experiences. This emotional bond with the horse, combined with exercises, rides, and playful activities, promotes significant progress in cases of hyperactivity, attention deficit, shyness, panic, and other symptoms, becoming a pathway to personal growth and resilience.
Founded in 2011 by psychoanalyst, family therapist, and riding instructor Claudia Poci, the Instituto Horsoul is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting children and adults with disabilities and their families. Its work is recognized for pioneering equine therapy as an integrated practice for health, care, and human development.
