The overall assessment of the course has been very positive. Thus, with their contribution, the Foundation for the Promotion of Equestrian Sports continues to work with associations and therapeutic riding centers where it is needed, in order to make known to the general population the therapies used to improve the lives of people with risk of social exclusion.
