  • People who come to the center as an individual. Thus 3 children benefit (with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Hemiplegy and a so-called Rare Disease) and 6 adults (with TEA, Down Syndrome and Cerebral Palsy).

Through this program, the Unicornio Azul Association helps the people in it to improve their physical care, autonomy and personal development and their cognitive stimulation as well as their sensory and emotional stimulation.
The Foundation for the Promotion of Equestrian Sport, through this collaboration, brings the practice of the therapies with horses closer to the people with greater difficulties, helping to make this activity more accessible.
