NGO name/title:

THERAPEUTIC RIDING ASSOCIATION OF GREECE (TRAG)

Legal form:

NON GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION

Starting year of activity:

1992

Brief profile:

Therapeutic riding is a rehabilitation programme, where the horse is the therapeutic medium; it improves the overall health and quality of life of people with physical, mental, or emotive disorders or handicaps. The horse becomes an extension of their own body; it helps them venture into new experiences and discover unprecedented feelings: the pleasure of a ride or the thrill of a walk in the countryside, or, mainly, that precious sense of movement and personal independence. Therapeutic riding is a unique experience for people with handicaps, who never thought that they could ride; it differs from traditional treatments of gyms, physical therapy, and hydrotherapy.
