Interactive
Vaulting Terminology Update
|
|
In alignment with
terminology used by other vaulting organizations and to more accurately
reflect the variety of movements taught and tested, the PATH Intl.
Interactive Vaulting Subcommittee has recommended that the term
"compulsories" be replaced with "vaulting
positions." All PATH Intl. Interactive Vaulting materials will be
updated accordingly beginning in July 2016.

Intl./Wounded Warrior Project Partnership Update
|
|
PATH Intl. and
Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) have enjoyed a partnership since 2011. In
that time, PATH Intl. Premier Accredited Centers (PACs) have served more
than 1,000 Wounded Warrior Project Alumni and have touched the lives of
countless others associated with these veterans.
PATH Intl. has been
informed by the WWP that they are in a period of reorganization and as
such will not be able to fund the 2016/2017 scholarship process for any
of their provider partners PATH Intl. will continue to foster, to the
best of its ability, the relationship with WWP. As one of its longest
standing provider partners, we hope once their leadership changes and
the dust has settled within their organization that they will consider
renewing the partnership. WWP has always given very positive feedback
regarding their pleasure in the significant work PATH Intl. Premier
Accredited Centers are doing to improve the lives of the WWP Alumni.
Veteran participants themselves were in turn giving WWP incredible
feedback about the profound influence equine-assisted activities and
therapies were having on their lives. Hopefully these factors will
contribute to a future continuation or renewal of a partnership. We
promise to keep everyone posted as details become available.
Questions or
comments, please contact Jeff Kelling, PATH Intl.
Manager of Programs and Education, (800) 369-7433, ext. 112.

This Month's
featured Community Connections post is addressed to the Instructor
Community where a member asks:
We have been
approached by a local family service provider to provide an
equine learning experience for their staff (corporate learning). Does anyone
have any written curriculum, or ideas that we can use with our horses to
provide this type of experience? We do have a licensed councilor to
help. Just looking for a road map of ideas from others who have been
there done that. Thanks in advance for your help.

advice to help this member, please click
