Our mission is to help children and adults with a diverse set of needs improve their quality of life through deep and impactful experiences with horses. We offer equitation, equine assisted therapy, and equine assisted psychotherapy to people from all walks of life.
Equine therapy (also known as Equine-Assisted Therapy [EAT]) is a form of therapy that makes use of horses movement and personality to help promote physical and emotional growth.
Because of there similarity to humans in a social matter, horses are useful to create metafors with children and adults that are going through emotional situations. Equine therapy is applied to patients with difrerent needs; from ADD, anxiety, depression, trauma, behavior and abuse issues and other mental health issues.
People with cognitive, psycho-motor,autism, dementia, delay in mental development, down syndrome and other genetic syndromes benefit from working with horses to build self worth, improve comunication, build trust and work on independecy, develop socialization skills and many more toold to be able to use in there daily lives.
Daluz was founded in June of 2015 with the goal of becoming an internationally recognized facility serving the people of Costa Rica. Through horses, people are able to learn skills that are then applied to other areas of their lives in a physical and emotional way.
