Tip From the PATH Intl. Equine Welfare Committee

Tips
to Prevent Burn Out
By Emily Wygod, PATH
Intl. Equine Welfare Committee member
How to maximize your equine partner's career at your center is a
challenging topic. Our herds are usually comprised of donated horses that
are not able to continue a previous job or horses that are purchased from
a tight budget. We all know that not every horse is suited for the work
at an EAAT center. This two-part article will address ideas to maximize
your herd's longevity, and we will show how growing your program
offerings can lead to a happier and healthier herd. Read more.
