In June, Stefan, a young student from Glasgow University, arrived at Cavalli Foundation to do his EMS placement, observing the work of our Equine Specialists. He left, taking with him, an assorted baggage of knowledge not usually found on the normal University curriculum.

Most of the time he was with Vero, his tutor during the stay and with whom he learnt the day to day running of the ranch. He spent some time with our Equine podiatrist and he was also enthralled by our Vet who specializes in acupuncture and Chinese medicine to treat horses.  As far as keeping the horses in good physical condition, he learnt to lunge and the technique of long reining in addition to learning about equine nutrition and how to feed.

Time flies!  It seems like yesterday since we started the early intervention project thanks to the donation received from Go Mad – Making a Difference, a project that has just finished with excellent results.

A very special pupil of Cavalli Foundation, Enzo, has started his own project. As part of his therapy with animals “socializing to socialize”, he has been very involved in socializing the kittens, so they have a better chance of being adopted.

As for the terrain destined to be the new Cavalli Ranch, we have been working on the distribution of the animals facilities, making them as organic and respecting the structure of the land as much as possible. Just finishing the last details and we will be ready to apply for building licenses – all very exciting!
