School Project

THANKS TO AN ETHOLOGICAL, EMPATHETIC APPROACH, CHILDREN WILL LEARN HOW TO APPROACH THESE ANIMALS AND HOW TO ESTABLISH A CORRECT RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM. THROUGH DIRECT EXPERIENCE, THEY WILL DISCOVER HOW MUCH CARE IS NECESSARY TO ENSURE ANIMAL WELL-BEING.

THE COURSE WILL ALSO ALLOW CHILDREN TO EXPRESS THEIR IMAGINATION THROUGH COLORS AND MANUAL ACTIVITIES.

WE HAVE THOUGHT OF CREATING SMALL PATHS NEXT TO THE PONIES TO DEVELOP SKILLS OF
LISTENING, OBSERVATION AND EMPATHY, CARING FOR, BRUSHING A MINIPONY CAN
HELP EMPOWER CHILDREN.

CARE ACTIVITIES:

BRUSHING AND GROOMING:
CHILDREN CAN LEARN TO BRUSH AND CLEAN PONIES, IMPROVING THEIR FINE MANUAL SKILLS AND LEARNING TO CARE FOR ANOTHER LIVING BEING.

RELAXATION ACTIVITIES:
CONTACT WITH PONIES CAN BE USED TO PROMOTE RELAXATION AND REDUCTION
STRESS IN CHILDREN, THROUGH CUDDLES AND MOMENTS OF QUIET INTERACTION.
EVEN GETTING TO HUG A PONY AND LET YOURSELF BE CARRIED AWAY BY EMOTIONS.
(THESE MOMENTS CAN BE ACCOMPANIED BY THE SWEET MELODY OF THE LULLABY DRUM.)

PONY KNOWLEDGE:
CHILDREN CAN LEARN TO RECOGNIZE DIFFERENT PONY BREEDS, THEIR PHYSICAL AND BEHAVIORAL CHARACTERISTICS, AND HOW TO CARE FOR THEM.

GROUP GAMES:
ORGANIZING GAMES THAT INVOLVE BOTH CHILDREN AND THE PONY CAN PROMOTE SOCIALIZATION, COOPERATION, AND FUN.

BENEFITS:

REDUCING STRESS AND IMPROVING EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING:
PONY CONTACT AND ASSISTED INTERVENTION ACTIVITIES CAN HELP REDUCE STRESS AND IMPROVE CHILDREN'S EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING.

INCREASING RESPONSIBILITY AND AUTONOMY:
BY TAKING CARE OF THE PONY, CHILDREN LEARN TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND TO TAKE CARE OF ANOTHER LIVING BEING.

IMPROVED MOTOR SKILLS:
ACTIVITIES INVOLVING THE PONY, SUCH AS BRUSHING AND RUNNING SMALL OBSTACLE COURSES OR GYMKAHANS AMONG THE PINS, CAN HELP DEVELOP AND IMPROVE COORDINATION AND FINE MOTOR SKILLS.
