PATH Intl. standards

PATH International (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship) standards set quality and safety guidelines for riding therapy programs. They ensure that instructors are well-trained, facilities are safe, and clients receive effective therapeutic services. These standards promote professionalism, ethical practices, and proper risk management to provide safe, beneficial experiences for individuals with disabilities or special needs. Essentially, PATH standards help maintain high-quality, consistent care in therapeutic riding programs, ensuring clients’ safety and well-being while maximizing therapeutic benefits facilitated through horse-assisted activities.
