Equestrian projects – C.E.E (Special Needs School) El Molino

C.E.E El Molino (Special Needs School), member  of  Fundación Ciganda Ferrer  and  set  in Pamplona,  has  applied  one  more  year  for  the  support  of Fundación para la Promoción del Deporte Ecuestre for  the  three equestrian  projects  they  launched  in  2018,  what  came  to  their  9th  cooperation  agreement.  
 
With  the  first  project,  39  students  received  three  equine  therapy  sessions  every  week  from   September  to  June,  with  no  cost  for  them,  and  with  the  support  of  trainees  form  Secondary   Schools  or  University  Colleges.  

Sessions  focused  on  increasing  participants’  physical,  psychological  and  social  wellbeing,  and   included  different  activities  on  horseback  and  foot-­‐on-­‐ground,  horse  grooming  and  care,  and   audio-­‐visual  materials.  

 
The  second  project  of  the  program  was  the  in  the  2018  Spain  Riding  Championships  for   sportspersons  with  intellectual  diversity.  

A  group  of  5  horsemen  and  2  horsewomen  participated  in  this  championship,  organized  by  the   Federación  Española  de  Deportes  para  Discapacitados  Intelectuales  (Spanish  National   Federation  for  Cognitive  Disability  Inclusive  Sports),  celebrated  in  Murcia  from  the  21st  to  the   25th  of  March.    

The  goal  was  to  reward  some  pupils  that  had  been  working  throughout  the  school  year  in  the   therapy  program,  who  demonstrated  their  skills  and  technical  improvement  by  wining  medals.  

 
The  third  initiative  supported  by  Fundación para la Promoción del Deporte Ecuestre was  the  participation  in  the  2018  Navarra  Riding  Games,   held  at  Riding  Club Biki Blasco and Marina Zapata from Zolina.

From  March  to  May,  71  pupils  from El Molino participated  in  this  new  edition  of  the  Games,   distributed  in  four  different  groups  that  got  involved,  up  to  four  times  and  for  2  to  three  hours   each  time,  in  activities  as  ring  handling,  vaulting,  stable  maintenance  and  horse  grooming,  and   rides  out  in  the  mountains-­‐falconry.  They  had  the  assistance  of  34  professionals  and  trainees.  

 
The  wide  range  of  activities  and  equestrian  projects C.E.E El Molino programs  for  its  pupils  proves   their  willingness  to  introduce  horses  in  their  school  culture  as  a  means  to  provide  quality  of   life.  Their  trust  in  Equestrian  Therapies  encourages  Fundación para la Promoción del Deporte Ecuestre to  maintain  its  support.
