SOCIAL PEDAGOGICAL HORSE ACTIVITY
Social pedagogical activity emphasizes experience, adventure and community. Horse activities at the stable help learning communication skills, recognize and deal with emotions and moods. It is suitable for those who are marginalized and under threat of social exclusion. Activities centered on the horse and his well-being provide structure and activities through which things can be projected to one´s life, such as food or hygiene role. Working with the horse is an empowering experience, where one can get more happiness, strength and courage to everyday life.
Pipsa has completed the Social Pedagogical horse activity education at South Ostrobothnia Folk High School in 2012.
