Horse therapy in Argentina

Participants work alongside the staff to form a team that assists with horse care, therapy sessions, and various support tasks:

• Controlling the horse’s movements while patients ride.
• Walking alongside the horse to ensure safety.
• Participating in all activities led by the therapist.
• Cleaning, oiling, equipment checks, stable maintenance, horse care, etc.

Volunteers work 16 hours a week on the project, i.e. 4 days, from Tuesday to Friday, in the afternoon. The programme is located 30 km from the city of Córdoba. Volunteers can reach the site by bus in 35 minutes (40 AR$ per day).

Volunteers will stay in a shared house with other volunteers. The accommodation is fully equipped, with hot showers, a television, Wi-Fi access, and a fully equipped kitchen for cooking.

Restaurants and shops are located nearby for buying food. Supermarkets are open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Those interested can opt to take Spanish courses for a week in Córdoba before starting the project.

This week aims to help volunteers improve their language skills and immerse themselves in the local culture. Please contact us for more information.
