Neuguet Retreat: An Accessible Place for People and Animals
Project SummaryAuszeit Neuguet creates a place where inclusion, nature, and education come together in a new way. It is a space that fosters participation, builds resilience, and demonstrates how social cohesion can thrive. Help make this place a reality.
Background
Hof Neuguet is already a center of excellence for horse-centered training. At the same time, our daily work demonstrates just how much potential this place has beyond that: as a safe space where people with special needs can connect with animals and nature, recharge their energy, and develop new perspectives.
However, many people do not have equal access to such spaces for experience. Barriers—whether physical, organizational, or educational—often prevent participation. At the same time, there is a lack of educational programs that connect people, animals, and the environment on an equal footing, in an inclusive and holistic way.
With Auszeit Neuguet, we want to address this very issue. Our goal is to create a place that combines relaxation, healing, and education and sets new standards as a pioneering project for inclusive learning.

With Auszeit Neuguet, we want to address this very issue. Our goal is to create a place that combines relaxation, healing, and education and sets new standards as a pioneering project for inclusive learning.
Idea
With the Auszeit Neuguet project, we are expanding the farm to include an inclusive nature trail and educational path called “Wurzelwerk.” This allows everyone, with or without disabilities, to experience nature with all their senses and to understand ecological relationships directly through interaction with animals.
Two new central features define this educational vision. The new goat barn is directly connected to a training and observation room via a glass partition. This directly links animal observation with theoretical learning—barrier-free, even for people in wheelchairs or nursing beds. The offering is complemented by a new pavilion.
Inspired by the medicinal plant Echinacea, it symbolizes the natural rhythm of the seasons. Under its protective roof, a place of tranquility and mindful interaction with our horses is created.
All programs are closely integrated with our educational work. Through the conscious experience of animals and natural cycles, we foster resilience, social participation, and self-efficacy.

Implementation
Every grand vision needs a solid foundation. Before this inclusive educational and community space can be realized, the groundwork must be professionally laid.
Since the Auszeit Neuguet project is located in an agricultural zone, the requirements regarding building regulations, landscape protection, and permitting procedures are stringent. The first project phase therefore focuses entirely on preliminary planning and a feasibility study. The funds allocated are specifically directed toward:
At the same time, we are tackling key challenges. Uncompromising accessibility—including for nursing beds—requires special pathways, generous turning circles, and adapted structural solutions. We are also investing significant time in training our animals so that horses and goats become accustomed to wheelchairs, walking aids, and medical equipment in a stress-free, safe, and animal-friendly manner.
With your support, we are laying the crucial foundation for a place that will serve as a model for active inclusion for many years to come.

- professional guidance from architects and specialist planners for the design of accessible paths, the pavilion, and the learning spaces
- the involvement of trustees and consultants to ensure a transparent, legally and financially stable project foundation
- the foundational educational work to develop the teaching and training concepts for the experiential and educational trail
