The horse in the main role

Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) is the use of animal interactions with patients to aid recovery from health problems or to help people cope with certain medical conditions.  Animals do influence the emotional and physical health of humans.

Scientists believe that the emotional relationship between humans and animals helps to release interferon and endorphins in the human body.

Interferon strengthens the immune system and endorphins raise the pain threshold. This healing effect of the animal on humans is related to the empathy, respect and love that the animal can show to humans. Human-to-animal contact puts people in better mental well-being.

The most widespread are:

• canis therapy - dog therapy
• felinotherapy - cat therapy

• hippotherapy - horse therapy

Our photos from the HORSE collection were created thanks to PONY FARM IN SUCHÝ VRCH. It is beautiful there and we definitely recommend this place. We asked a few questions about the horses you can find there.

1. How many horses and how many ponies do you have on your farm?

We keep 19 horses on a pony farm, of which 2 are ponies.

2. What are their names?

Riding horses that children have the opportunity to meet are Tristan, Jazmín, Bertík, Lukas, Sally and Izabela.

3. What goodies do your horses like best?

Horses prefer carrots, apples and dry bread, but foreign animals but foreign animals can never be fed arbitrarily. It is ideal to bring treats to a breeder who knows their daily dose, as increased or improper feeding can cause the horse's indigestion and subsequently it may end up in the surgeon's clinic.

We thank Mrs. Hromadová from the farm for the opportunity to take pictures and providing us with answers.
