Our organization started a therapeutic horseback riding project for the Nova survivors in collaboration with the therapeutic farm, Riding in Nature, in Sdei Hemed.
Horseback riding is especially effective for those suffering from PTSD. 💔
From a physical perspective, the horse’s movement supports muscle relief, improved balance, and relaxation. 🤸
From an emotional standpoint, the connection with the horse promotes security and trust, reduces stress and anxiety, and eases the processing of traumatic experiences. 💆
Additionally, the natural surroundings of the therapeutic farm constitute a calming and safe place that is conducive to emotional processing and dealing with feelings and memories. 🏠🌻🌳
The farm’s incredible team have created a unique experience for participants, who left satisfied, with renewed energy.
The participants shared:
“It was incredible. Each week I learn that my heart can open and widen more than the last…”
“When I come here I have the assurance that is you, I have the confidence that is you, and the nature that is the horses…”
There are many more beautiful, heart-warming testimonials just like these.
