Welcome to Region 5! I am so excited that you have joined PATH Intl. in its endeavors!
In 2005, I learned about EAAT. My professor in college suggested working at my local center to meet my practicum requirements for graduation. I instantly fell in love with the way the clients and horses interacted. I facilitated a child saying his first word and I knew then that this would be my lifelong passion.
I have years of experience in non-profits and small centers but I can also help guide those of you who are from large centers. I have held a variety of positions and can shed some light on most issues. When I can't personally get you the information you need, then I will get you touch with who can. EAAT is about working together and assisting each other as much as we enable our participants. I am honored to help lead the growing community of EAAT professionals.
I want to sincerely thank you for providing safe and effective EAAT for those who need it most. I admire your desire to change the world one stride at a time. Keep up the good work and please be in touch with issues, comments, concerns, praises or to share your story. Together we can show the world how effective our equine partners are in the lives of those with disabilities.

Hello: I'm Peggi Noon, your new state chair. The wonderful Amy Tripson is headed to the other side of the world or the far side of the moon! It is my privilege to take her place working with you and PATH INTL. This is my premier effort with Vertical Response. Please send me information, events, questions or suggestions. If you have an event happening in your area, please let me know and we will try to help you participate. Funds, although somewhat limited, are available to spread the word about PATH INTL and the work we do. I look forward to meeting you personally.
