The idea of ​​the project is to support the improvement of the quality of work with youth with disabilities by deepening cooperation between partner organizations in hiporehabilitation equestrian activities. The aim of the project is mainly to increase the professional potential of hiporehabilitation lecturers, to share and acquire new knowledge and skills necessary for the successful implementation of innovative methods and thus to ensure a continuous improvement in quality in youth work.

Equine assited therapy is a world-famous method as a therapeutic horse riding for children, youth, and adults with various types of disabilities. However, where the therapeutic effects of horseback riding in equine assisted therapy ends and it is possible to proceed further, the therapeutic effects begin with simple movement exercise on the horse. This equestrian branch is called paravaulting and this activity itself follows its rules for movement preparation.

The development of the form of contemporary education with its current trends, which includes the use of digital technologies, is gradually reaching all areas and levels of education. Due to the nature of physical activities, practical learning of physical literacy is crucial. The possibilities of innovative processes and digital technologies have not yet been fully exploited in this area, because there was not such a need as in other fields, the emphasis was always on contact meetings, which is irreplaceable here.

The curriculum of movement training will be digitally unified among the project partners. This will be followed by a description of the basic exercises that can be performed on horseback. Teaching materials will be available in Czech, Turkish, Croatian, Portuguese and, of course, in English not only to lecturers, but also to the public in the form of public websites and streaming channels. It will therefore not be a problem for other foreign bidders to use it, thereby promoting internationalization.
