Derrick Perkins,
the 2014 PATH International Equine Services for Heroes Equestrian award
recipient, recently competed with horse NTEC Hans at the Adequan Global
Dressage Festival CPEDI3*.
According to the
United States Para-Equestrian Association newsletter, "This was
Perkins first international para-dressage event and he earned his 2014
WEG qualifying score during the team test in Grade 1a. 'For my first
time it felt good. We worked out a few kinks before competition and it
ended up being great. I definitely had butterflies but Hans was
wonderful.'"
Congratulations,
Derrick!

Tip From the PATH Intl. Equine Welfare Committee

Equine
First Aid and When to Use It
By Brittany Aspen,
PATH Intl. Equine Welfare Committee member
Make sure your equine first aid container is clearly marked and that it
is routinely checked and the used/contaminated supplies are replaced
(monthly). It must be placed in a designated, easily accessible
location--in a controlled room temperature environment when possible. Click here to read a few things
to have on hand and when to call the vet.

EAAT
Mentioned in Film as Alternative Form of Healing
|
|
Last year, two
combat-wounded Veterans, Daniel and Doc, set off on a motorcycle journey
across America interviewing researchers, healthcare providers and
Veterans, many of whom had contemplated or attempted suicide. Their
mission was to raise awareness of the high rate of suicide amongst
Veterans and, more importantly, highlight the sources of hope that other
Veterans had found. The effort is called Project 22, painfully inspired
by the recent VA estimation that 22 veterans commit suicide every day.
The film, scheduled for release Summer 2014, discusses post-war
challenges for Veterans that lead to suicide and the healing Veterans are
finding in alternative ways, including equine-assisted activities and
therapies as was demonstrated at PATH Intl. Center Greater New Orleans Therapeutic
Riding Center in Louisiana.

Ride
"The Shamrock PATH"
ACTHA Invites PATH
Intl. Centers to Be Ride Hosts
|
|
ACTHA has coined
March as "The Shamrock PATH" with a goal of 1,000 Obstacle
Challenge trail rides around the country during March. Some rides will
still be taking place in April. The event requires only an arena or some
open land, and two or three people from your center to manage the event.
By becoming a ride host, your center would attract trail riders in your
area to come for a fun day of casual competition. You can gain local
exposure while earning funds for your center and PATH Intl., as your
center will retain a portion of entry fees.
To learn more, visit ACTHA at www.actha.us/path to
see how this works and how your center could benefit, or call Robin
Tilghman, ACTHA's PATH Intl. events manager, at (434) 989-1437.
