Horse therapy in Namibia brings happiness for children with the inability to learn the program.

Windhok, Namibia: Susan de Mayor’s horses have different effects on different children. Hypercractive children learn to be slightly calm around them, while non -abusive children are transferred to communicate and tied them up. D Mayor launched a program in Namibia, the southern African country, which exploits power, but also to help the gentleness of horses Learning children And conditions like ADHD and autism.
The morning of each week, the dusty padock of the de Mayor, outside the capital, is included by a group of eight to 10 children, one of which helps one of the special schools. Children ride horses, prepare them, stroke them and often, say day mair, talk to them.
D Mayor grew up in a field surrounded by horses and has always been a part of his life. He said that he has a quality that is invaluable: they do not judge children, no matter how different they are.
“The horse is a hero in this whole situation because these children do not want to live around a lot of people,” said De Mayor.
The program of Day Maini, “Embarking Through the Horse,” is supported by the Namibian EcWastrian Federation and won an award from the International Equestrian Federation last year as it “underlines the amazing characteristics of horse in sensitivity and intuition.”
Racist Autism is promoted by groups and people who work with children with learning inability as positive effects. And in general veterinary medicine has been found useful in many examples, such as dogs that help military giants with post-tractic stress disorder and therapy cats that take to hospitals and nursing homes.
Some survivors of the disastrous 2023 Hawaii Wildfire were relieved in horse treatment, while hurting the loved ones they had lost.
De Mayor jokes he has “two and a half horses”. These include two billion-a white mare named Furnah and a brown geling, lanses-“half” is a short horse called Bonzi, about the head-high for a 5-year-old child.
De Mayor said that Arabs are often most useful for children’s treatment because due to their size, D. Mayor said.
“This gives them self -esteem. When they stroke the horse, therapy begins as it is a much larger animal than their height, and they are not afraid to stroke the horse … and then to ride it and tell the horse that they want,” he said.
De Mayer Autism, attention-conversion/hypercarctivity disorder, down syndrome, which are halocked or touch sensitive, and some include some that were born with fetal alcohol syndrome and include developmental problems, including many conditions or disabled children.
He has been interested in Africa and other countries of Asia to start a similar program.
Chriszel Luv, a teacher at Dagbrek School, said, “The changes I have seen with the learners are important,” it says that it is one of the only two government schools in Namibia for intellectual disabled children. “We have a learner who likes to talk a lot. When we come here, she knows that she has to remain silent. She sits in her place.”
“Some of them see that they are more open, they are happy. Some of them were very afraid when they started with horse riding, but now they are very excited. When they hear that we are going to horses they are very excited and just want to go by themselves,” Luv said.
D Mayor said that his program helps with well-motor skills, gross-motor skills, strengthening of muscles, coordination, balance and asana, all are important for children who struggle to sit and learn at a desk in school.
A simple exercise day mayor has children when they ride, when they let the rebellion go and spread their arms straight and sides, only their torso and lower body goes to the horse around the padock to form a groom as a groom.
Some children get out smiling when they let go and see they are growing.
“We make the world different for these children,” said De Mayor.
