Horse-assisted activities
Animals make us feel good, and can be helpful for us humans. At Catthult's equestrian activities, this is precisely what is in focus.
About the project
Catthult's equestrian activities have the project idea to help people feel better through horses. The project aims to start two groups: One for individuals who have suffered from exhaustion and one for youth with high school absenteeism. The idea is for the groups to meet and be with the horses in a calm environment – both for recovery and for increased self-confidence.
From the application
”Together with the horses, one can train communication and interaction as well as increase their self-confidence and self-esteem.”

The board's motivation
The company wants to meet the demand for physical, mental, and social stimulation. In a rural and peaceful environment with the horse as a helper, this can happen, self-confidence can be strengthened, and well-being can increase. Social exclusion can be broken, and homebound students can find their way back to school. Within GGVV, there are few similar opportunities. This means that Catthult has the conditions to develop its business idea in contact with primarily municipalities and regions.
