What is Asinotherapy?

​

I followed the Asinotherapy course at "Ezelstal Hans en Grietje" in Masstricht. During the course I was able to experience and see what working with animals, especially donkeys, can mean for people with questions for help.

​

Asinotherapy, also called donkey therapy, is guidance for people with a need for help in which donkeys are used.

This can vary from light requests for help to therapeutic requests for adults and children.

​

Asinotherapy as we interpret it is a pleasant way to spend a moment forgetting the time and enjoying the here and now with the donkeys.

​

We offer several possibilities to get in touch with these amazing donkeys.

• just visiting the donkeys

• petting and/or brushing the donkeys

• short cavaletti training with the donkeys

• click with the donkeys

​

​

As soon as there is talk of a therapy, therapists are present where the donkeys play an active role. In addition, the donkey is not a therapist but can help with the therapy that is being given at that time.
