Conectartecon

Emotional Colonies for children from 6 to 12 years old with German and English, interacting and playing with horses.

We are a team of people who focus on development of social skills (empathy, assertiveness, observation, listening, communication and teamwork).

Children learn to build satisfying relationships and environments through horse handling, communication and language. Living what depends on them to achieve it.

Our goal that both children and horses become great friends and companions.

The exercises are performed:

-On foot interacting and playing with horses to connect with them, where we work on such important aspects as empathy, assertiveness, listening, communication and teamwork, among others.

- They ride without rim, that is to say "bareback". To have a greater contact and sensitivity with the horse. So that they feel with greater intensity what they transmit, the heat, the movements, the smell, the sounds, in this way they become more aware of their emotions and their body language. They enjoy these exercises a lot.

In addition, we also care about staying in a healthy physical state . So we include Pilates classes, since this exercise improves their ability to concentrate and allows them to relax and they also perform gymnastics on top of the horse , to release tension and trust the horse. horse, stretching, coordination and balance.

On the other hand, given the importance of languages today, we include classes in German and English. We offer these activities during the Christmas holidays, carnivals, Easter and summer.

We also hold after-school classes for the development of social skills, two days a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the school year.

We carry out activities for schools in the morning for the development of social skills aligned with today's needs.

At Conectartecon we organize horse camps for children between 6 and 13 years old both on summer dates and on Christmas holidays and throughout Easter when they don't have to go to school.

If we say that they are colonies with horses it is because we work on a completely different concept in which animals are not mounted in the traditional way. Instead, they become companions who help children and young people in their cognitive and emotional development, something that is later applicable to all aspects of their lives.

With exercises, small routes through wooded areas, races and jumps we get the assistants to contact the equines in a complete way. Here we ride without a saddle so that the participants experience all the sensations provided by the horse, from its skin to the warmth of the body and the fluidity of its movements. Thus they become aware of their own body language at the same time.

We do activities such as painting, we dance, we build, we use touch and we encourage collaboration among all children, seeking to help them learn to communicate and solve problems by being decisive.

In Connect with the kids they have the opportunity to participate in Emotional Colonies in which, in addition to working on their personal aspects, they will have contact with the English and German languages, giving an important role to the horses during the activities.

Attendees must be at least 6 years old and we accept students up to 13. Our program is based on training the social skills of each child, achieving issues such as learning to empathize and relate to their peers and the environment in a healthy way.
Through the interaction with the equines of the camp we achieve:

- That the assistants know how to handle different situations . We will plan problems that they must solve and it will be key that they resort to collaborating and cooperating with each other.

- Increase the capacity for observation and interaction with the environment . With games and riding without a chair, children's senses are fully opened to receive each of the stimuli around them.

- Let them exercise physically : with the gymnastics activities and the workshops the participants relax and train their body as well as their mind.
