OUR PROGRAMS

EQUINE ASISSTED THERAPY (EAT)

Within the process of EAT each individual user gets specifically written work program with clearly defined therapeutic goals, descriptions of selected methods, procedures and use of equipment and didactic materials, as well as guided analysis evaluation of therapeutic procedures.

EAT is performed by experts whose basic training profile is as follows: education teachers, educational and rehabilitation experts, social pedagogues, psychologists, teachers, educators, occupational therapists, physical therapists, social workers, doctors and other health professionals who have completed additional training from EAT and equestrian (specialization).

VOLUNTEER PROGRAM

Since its foundation the Association “Pegaz” has been implementing, promoting and developing volunteer work of citizens of different age groups – members of the Association. During the 15-year- span of the Association and HR program, volunteer program has been gradually adapted to the current needs of the organization, moreover, it has been included in the strategic and operational planning of the Association as one of the main “engine” behind all programs and facilities that the Association offers. Volunteer Program of the Association “Pegaz” is implemented in accordance with the Law on Volunteering . Following the Decision of the Agency for Mobility and EU programs from August 8th 2016, the Association “Pegaz” has become an accredited organization within the European Voluntary Service (EVS). The Association “Pegaz” has earned three-year accreditation for receiving volunteers from abroad, sending volunteers to foreign countries and became the coordinator of EVS programs. Activities of the EVS networks in Croatia are carried out by the Erasmus + program.

HALF-DAYS EXCURSIONS 

The Association cooperates with kindergartens and primary schools in the organization of half-day excursions for children with the goal of introducing preschool and primary school children with farm animals, activities on the farm and it encourages children to spend time outdoors in nature. For the participants of half-day excursion it is possible to arrange riding, horse grooming, walks on the nearby walking paths, group games in the open.

RECREATIONAL PROGRAM

During 2014, we detected a need to expand regular activities of the Association by adding the recreational and quality leisure activities for different groups of members and users of recreational program, to its core activities – EAT. Recreational program of the Association is primarily intended for members of the Association without disabilities. The program of recreation and amateur sport takes place in the pre-agreed terms, under the expert guidance of trained personnel and with safety riding equipment.

CAMPS AND LEASURE
