Projet
Les Rênes de la Vie
Active for 40 years, Les Rênes de la Vie integrates a therapeutic and social approach to relationships between the child with disabilities, the pony, and nature. The association supports deaf, blind, paraplegic, Down’s syndrome, and autistic children as well as those suffering from muscular dystrophy, psychotic disorders, and dyslexia. It is one of the only pony-clubs to promote inclusion and integration.
The MAD Foundation finances a solidarity fund that supports families who are unable to pay for riding sessions or training courses for their children. In doing so, it contributes to making equine-assisted therapy accessible to a greater number of people.
