The first one of equine hygiene, where brushing and showering of horses and ponies have been carried out for users, emphasizing the importance of self-care.
Likewise, elders who have had contact with animals in their lives have shared these memories with their companions, encouraging autobiographical memory.
The users have made a brief tour with the horse, foot to land, where they gave importance to physical exercise as a crucial element for a healthy aging.
Another of the workshops has been aimed at sensory stimulation through aromatic plants.
Each user has planted a carrot seed that they have taken to the center to continue caring for it.
They have also enjoyed a workshop where those responsible have explained to the elderly the different foods of the horses and then feed them, encouraging exercise and, once again, sensory stimulation.
Finally they have participated in a therapeutic game with Luna, the dog of the Foundation.
