Serving as a testament to their commitment to corporate social responsibility, the group members from Sophos Germany recently dedicated a day to volunteering at a renowned horse therapy farm, which provides innovative equine-assisted therapies to individuals with diverse abilities and needs. The day was filled with interactive experiences that provided the group with a personal and profound insight into the profoundly positive impact these awe-inspiring creatures have on the daily lives of those in need.
Sophos volunteers lent a hand, tackling a range of tasks on the farm, from gardening to cleaning stables and preparing horses for medical treatments. Behind-the-scenes efforts are crucial in maintaining a farm’s viability and ensuring that its animals contribute effectively to the physical, emotional, and intellectual growth of individuals with disabilities.
Equine-assisted therapy harnesses the soothing and uplifting qualities of horses to promote personal growth and healing. Contributors to these applications often exhibit notable enhancements in stability, muscular tone, and coordination, accompanied by boosts in emotional well-being and self-assurance.
As the volunteers experienced firsthand, the day revealed the unwavering commitment and boundless enthusiasm required to successfully operate a horse rescue farm. The sense of fulfillment and appreciation expressed by those who have benefited from these efforts serves as a poignant reminder of the tangible benefits that arise from dedicating time, resources, and energy to projects of this magnitude.
The Sophos Worker Volunteering program grants employees up to 40 hours of paid time off each calendar year for volunteering activities. Explore what makes Sophos an exceptional workplace and find your next career opportunity among our latest job openings at .
