Equine Tips From the PATH Intl. Equine Welfare Committee

Tough Questions for Difficult Discussions
By Molly Sweeney, PATH Intl. Equine Welfare Committee Member
With appreciation to Courtney at Strides for Success, whose article on Horse Ethics and the Shifting Mindset inspired these questions.
I've been around long enough to witness and experience many shifts from the "old way" to the "new way" to the "newest way" in our perception of horses and how we work with them; from control by dominance through levels of aggression, to alternative methods of a gentler partner-centered relationship, and everything in between.
New insights can release us from old patterns of belief. And new insights can come from from asking tough questions that inspire difficult discussions. Read more

Online Education: Webinars
|
|
You may have noticed that the PATH Intl. Webinars have been removed from our online store. We are currently experiencing technical difficulties with the platform previously used for the material. We are in the process of transferring all of the offered webinars to a new platform that will allow for easy access of the resources. We will provide an update when all of the material is transferred and the webinars return to the online store. We appreciate your patience.
Please visit the
PATH Intl. store for access to online courses and conference session recordings.
