Feldman Ecopark Horse Complex has new residents \u2013 two Lipizzans, the Friesian, the Welsh Pony and two couples of the American Miniature Horses found home here. The animals arrived from Ukrainian and foreign clubs. They have already adapted in their new home and started to take part in the activities of the Social and Humanitarian Multi-Complex. Each of them now has a work based on the specific character and breed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Lipizzans are wonderful saddle horses originated from the Arabians. They are the born artists for our horse theatre. The Friesians are usually called \u2018black pearls.\u2019 They are big, strong and can participate in dressage and carriage driving competitions. We have already purchased a lightweight carriage for our young \u2018pearl\u2019 to be able to take kids for a drive on weekends,\u201d the Head of humanitarian programs in Feldman Ecopark Iryna Yavorska told. \u201cThe Welsh Pony will enrich our friendly collective in the Pony Club, where the smallest members of the Children\u2019s Ecology and Nature Study Academy learn to ride and to softly train the ungulates. The most honorary and responsible \u2018job\u2019 will be given to the American Miniature Horses \u2013 they will take part in the animal-assisted therapy lessons for children with special needs given by the Centre for Psychosocial Rehabilitation.\u201d<\/p>\n
