Sometimes, grand gestures aren't needed. No comfort, no explanations. Just a warm coat to lean against. A calm breath. A presence without expectations. Our animals accompany children and families in moments for which there are no words – with closeness, gentleness, and an open heart. 🕊️🌈✨ #animalassistedtherapy #childrenshospice #animalassisted #mindfulness #horselove #carryinghope #healingwithoutwordslichtblickhof #becausethereisalwayssomethinggoingon #equinetherapy #horsetherapy #childrenshospicevienna

Hello, my name is Sirius Solargeisli – my name means sunbeam. Perhaps because I'm meant to bring light to where it's become dark. I'm six years old, curious and brave, with a heart of gold. Everything new is an adventure for me – and every little "I can do it!" helps me grow. I'm currently learning at Lichtblickhofto be a therapy horse. And if one day I... LichtblickhofWhen I work with children, I hope they feel in me: Sunshine can be shared. 🌞🌈💛 Photo: @salted_pictures #TherapyHorse #AnimalAssistedTherapy #ChildrensHospice #NewTeamMember #Sunbeam #HorseLove #CourageousAndGentle #AnimalsDoGood #HeartHorse #StrongerTogether #AnimalsHelpHeal #JoyOfLife #SiriusSolargeisli

Sometimes the miracles along the way are so quiet that you only feel them when you become completely still: A smile. A moment without fear. A look filled with trust. All of these are small miracles that happen in our work – every day, thanks to you. 💛 Videos: @francis.foto.film #WunderAmWeg #lichtblickhof #children'shospice #becausealwayssomethinghappens #rayof hope #horsetherapy #therapyhorses #therapywithanimals

In free work, something happens that cannot be explained—you can only feel it.”
Roswitha Zink
When a child encounters a horse without a rope, without pressure, simply as they are, something special emerges: a space where trust can grow. Where every little sign counts. And where children feel: I am effective. I am seen. I am enough. ❤️ Horses reflect what words often fail to reach—they respond to what is alive inside and invite you to become calm, honest, and present. ✨🌈🐴 #lichtblickhof #therapywithhorses #children'shospicevienna #equoterapia

Sometimes the greatest miracles happen quite quietly. Between horse hooves and children's laughter. Between trust, courage, and the here and now. Our show group was able to demonstrate at Apropos Pferd what moves us every day: That hope rides, dances, and flies—if you let it. 🌈✨ A big THANK YOU to @francis.foto.film for capturing these wonderful moments. #lichtblickhof #children'shospice #becausealwayssomethinghappens #equotherapy #rayof hope #children'shospicevienna #children'shospicecompanionship #therapywiththem

If our sheep could talk, perhaps that's exactly what they would say. They approach children with a silent language of closeness, warmth, and peace 🐑 #lichtblickhof #children'shospice #becausealwayssomethinghappens #equotherapy #rayof hope #children'shospicevienna #children'shospicecompanionship #therapywiththem

Sometimes life writes stories you can't plan: In August, our Cocuya moved to Switzerland with our dear colleague Tina. Her therapy horse passed away suddenly – and that's exactly where a place opens for Cocuya's heart, her calmness, and her strength. 🐴🤍 The two have known each other since a training course and immediately felt a special connection. Now, together, they can take on this important task and bring comfort to children in difficult times. For us, this is a farewell filled with pride and gratitude – because Cocuya carries a piece of Lichtblickhof-Magic out into the world. ✨ #therapyhorse #therapyhorses #therapeuticriding #animalassistededucation #lichtblickhof Photo: @salted_pictures

He can't see our world. But he can hear it. Smell it. Feel it. And suddenly, he and the horses understood each other. They encountered each other in a world full of smells and sounds. Sometimes it's precisely this silent language that creates the deepest connection ✨🌈 #animalassisted #hospicework #heartfeltmoments #lichtblickhof #children'shospice #becausealwayssomethinghappens #equotherapy #rayof hope #lichtblickhof #meditatetherapy
