Mark your calendar! The 2020 Region 1 Conference will be held at Full Circle Farm in Newport, NH April 25 & 26. Do you have a great idea you want to share with your PATH Intl. colleagues? Each year the PATH Intl. Regional Conferences offer valuable learning opportunities for everyone involved in equine-assisted activities and therapies or for those wishing to learn more about EAAT. Not only is there a variety of information shared through sessions, but attendees also can network with colleagues and earn continuing education. Currently PATH Intl. is conducting a call for abstracts for Region 1. Presentations vary and may include, but are not limited to, equine welfare, working with veterans, EAL, EFP, hippotherapy, personal development and administrative topics.
The deadline is November 22, 2019.

PATH Intl. Region 1 was a vendor at this year’s Abilities Expo in Boston, MA. A huge thanks goes out to Sarah Norris for coordinating the booth, Kassandra from Strongwater Farm, Andrew from The Bridge Center, and Jen Wright from Windrush Farm for volunteering their time to share information about PATH Intl., location of centers within our region, and information on what equine assisted activities and therapies are, benefits, and center needs.
