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.

A big
congratulations to all the winners and nominees!
Every year, PATH
Intl. centers and members nominate the very best equestrians, certified
professionals, veterinarians, volunteers and equines serving at PATH
Intl. Member Centers, and we are pleased to announce the regional and
equestrian award winners. Each year our judges face an increasingly
difficult decision to choose from among the outstanding nominations,
once again demonstrating the high quality of service PATH Intl. Centers
offer. Thank you to all the nominators for their dedication in
recognizing the achievements of those in equine-assisted activities and
therapies. A special thank you also to the judges!
See
the list of the 2016 PATH Intl. Region Award Winners here.

E2 Mentoring:
Sometimes You Are Worlds Apart
Marny
Mansfield
From the framework of an international mentoring relationship, mentoring
will be explored from agreements, communication and reflective practice
to technology, teaching and tips.
Marny Mansfield has
an MS degree in animals and public policy, an MS degree in occupational
therapy, and is a PATH Intl. Certified Master Instructor, mentor and
faculty.
Gain notoriety and
bragging rights by showing conference attendees the great time had by
all at your center. This was a huge hit last year! The conference host
committee will judge and select the top two or three to show at the
awards banquet on Friday, November 4, with others being shown throughout
the conference. We aren't looking for promotional videos, but rather the
videos that highlight your center's staff, instructors, participants and
equines having a great time. Click here for an
example from Hearts & Horses, Inc., a PATH Intl. Premier
Accredited Center in Loveland, CO, the big winners from last year.
Email your videos to Cher Smith. For larger video files, mail a CD
or flashdrive, or email Cher for Dropbox instructions. Note: We need the
actual video, not a YouTube or Vimeo link. Submissions must be sent by
September 15 to allow time for judging. Please include a photo/video release form with
submission.
New This Year:
Reserve a Banquet Table
Reserve a table of
10 at the 2016 PATH Intl. Awards Banquet, November 4, 2016, for $50 per
table. This non-refundable fee will benefit the PATH Intl. Disaster
Relief Fund, which has been seriously depleted due to many requests this
year, but it will also create a better system for tracking and assigning
tables.
Please mark the
table reservation on your online registration or on your registration
form through October 10. (Don't forget to include the name(s) you would
like on the table.) There will also be a signup sheet on site in
Williamsburg at the registration desk through noon on Thursday, November
3. Phone confirmations will not be accepted.
If you have questions, contact Jaime Covington.
Colonial
Williamsburg is a 301-acre living history museum. Costumed employees
work and dress as people did in the era, sometimes using colonial
grammar and diction. Surviving colonial structures have been restored to
estimates of their 18th-century appearance, with traces of later
buildings and improvements removed. Of the approximately 500 buildings
reconstructed or restored, 88 are labelled original. Unlike dry, dusty
textbooks, Williamsburg will awaken a love of history!
