Mission Statement
PATH Intl. provides standards, credentialing and training resources for the equine-assisted activities and therapies industry which uses the human-horse bond to help people with special needs achieve health and wellness goals in a safe and effective setting.
About This Cause
Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International (PATH Intl.), a federally-registered 501(c3) nonprofit, was formed in 1969 as the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association to promote equine-assisted activities and therapies (EAAT) for individuals with special needs. With more than 4,800 certified instructors and equine specialists and 881 member centers, more than 8.000 PATH Intl. members around the globe help more than 66,000 children and adults--including more than 6,200 veterans and active-duty military personnel--with physical, cognitive and emotional challenges find strength and independence through the power of the horse each year. In addition to therapeutic riding, our centers offer a number of therapeutic equine-related activities, including hippotherapy, equine-facilitated mental health, driving, interactive vaulting, competition, ground work and stable management. More recently, programs offer services in human growth and development to serve wide-ranging audiences for such educational purposes as leadership training, team building and other human capacity enhancement skills for the workplace and for daily use.
