Christmas charity event in Equishop

Christmas is a very specialtime, when we put all the quarrels aside, we manage to find some time for theclosest ones, we sit by the Christmas table and make presents for one another. It’salso a time when we want to share our joy with others, especially those, whoreally need our help. And that is why we, as Equishop, decided to support the FundacjęHipoterapia na Rzecz Rehabilitacji Dzieci Niepełnosprawnych (Hippotherapy Foundation for the Rehabilitation of Disabled Children) this year.
