Report

Thanks to your support, Yaroslava has completed another course of hippotherapy—and the results are encouraging.

Yaroslava’s muscle tone has strengthened, and her sense of balance has improved. She has become more confident in the saddle, has better control over her body, and her movements have become more coordinated. Her parents note that after the sessions, her anxiety has decreased, and Yaroslava has become calmer and more open to communication.

It is especially important that hippotherapy continues to help her develop communication skills—interacting with the horse is becoming a bridge to interacting with people. Each session brings Yaroslava closer to her main goal: to be more confident, calm, and active in everyday life.

Yaroslava and her family are grateful to everyone who supported this fundraiser. Thank you for being with us.

About the campaign

Yaroslava has several diagnoses and needs hippotherapy!

Yaroslava is 12 years old. Immediately after birth, she was diagnosed with Down syndrome, congenital heart disease, and hypotonia. At the age of 4 months, she underwent open-heart surgery. This was followed by a long period of rehabilitation.

As Yaroslava grew older, she began to experience problems with coordination, balance, and psychomotor development. At the age of 10, she was diagnosed with Spina bifida occulta. Among the various therapies available, her family discovered that hippotherapy was the most effective. Communication with a horse helps Yaroslava in an amazing way: to strengthen muscle tone, develop a sense of balance, reduce anxiety, and, most importantly, gradually improve the communication skills that she needs every day.

The horse becomes a friend, a support, and a soft training device at the same time. However, hippotherapy courses require regularity and, unfortunately, considerable funds.

We are raising money for another hippotherapy course for Yaroslava. So that she can continue to move forward with confidence, peace of mind, and self-belief!
