Thank You to Donors!

Donations--with a median gift of just $25--added up to over $45,000 to help cover the costs of instructor certification, center benefits such as the Foundation Directory, and media outreach to raise awareness of therapeutic horsemanship among the general public. Thank you!

PATH Intl. Announces 2013 Region Award Winners
| |
A big congratulations to all the winners and nominees!
Every year, PATH Intl. centers and members nominate the very best equestrians, certified professionals, veterinarians, volunteers and equines serving at PATH Intl. Centers, and we are pleased to announce the regional and equestrian award winners. Each year becomes more difficult to choose from among the outstanding nominations. This year, PATH Intl. received an astounding 227 nominations, demonstrating once again the high quality of service our centers offer. It takes a lot of time and thought to nominate someone, and we thank everyone who nominated someone. (Remember that nominations are now accepted year round.) A special thank you also to our judges for making the difficult decisions. Click here to see a list of the 2013 PATH Intl. Region Award Winners.

PATH Intl. Field Test Standards Now on Community Connections
| | |
The Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International Standards for Certification and Accreditation is a document that is constantly evolving as the EAAT industry continues to grow and develop. Any new standards proposed or standards that are rewritten to the extent that the intent of the standard is altered are offered to the association members in the form of Field Test Standards for comment and critique. Traditionally, member input has been solicited only at accreditation site visits, regional conferences or the PATH Intl. Conference. In an effort to extend the opportunity for input to the members of the association, current Field Test Standards are now posted online in PATH Intl. Community Connections.
All PATH Intl. members are encouraged to read and post comments on the current Field Test Standards. With strong member input, PATH Intl. will continue to lead in the promotion of best practices for safety and service in the industry.
