Our Team

All our professional workers have great affinity with both our target group and the animals they work with.

They have different professional, educational and personal backgrounds, but are all qualified to work with our target groups. Our medical director Luigi Gabriele Tommasi supervises their work.

Special effort is put in developing a tailor cut approach for each individual rider. We always look for the best possible match between client, horse and therapist.
