ONGOING SUMMER THERAPEUTIC RIDING AND ACTIVITIES

Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International (PATH Intl.) https://www.pathintl.org/, formally known as the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association (NARHA), was founded in 1969 to promote safe and effective therapeutic horseback riding throughout the United States and Canada. Though PATH Int. began with a focus on horseback riding as a form of physical and mental therapy, the organization has since developed a multitude of different equine-related activities for therapeutic purposes, collectively known as equine-assisted activities and therapies (or EAAT). Please inquire about programs available at each Center. Some of the activities that these riding Centers might offer include: Grooming & Tacking, Ground Work, Hippotherapy, Therapeutic Riding, Mobile Community Programs, Vocational Training, Competition (Special Olympic, Paralympics), Recreational Riding, and 4-H, Camps (Summer, Day, or Other).
