paper, you'll end any worry about losing your form on the desk or in the
mail.

executive director must be logged in to their personal account in order
to renew online.
If you need to update the primary contact for your center, please send

Equine
Tip From the PATH Intl. Equine Welfare Committee
|
|
Benefits
of Conference
By Cathy
Languerand, PATH Intl. Equine welfare Committee Chair
It was a nine hour drive to Cleveland, Ohio, a great time to think and
plan (on the way out) and reflect (on the way back) on my reasons for
attending this year's PATH Intl. Conference. Read
more
The
PATH Intl. Equine Welfare Committee is making a commitment to refine and
deepen our perspective of equine well-being to include the physical,
mental and emotional well-being of our wonderful four-legged partners.
Join us on this journey. Please add your thoughts on the PATH Intl. Community
Connections page. It is our desire that these tips start a further
discussion on Community Connections. Any thoughts? We appreciate hearing
from you!
