PATH Intl. Welcomes Your Expertise at Its 2020 Conference

Denver – When you hear PATH Intl., what comes to mind? An organization whose instructors focus on equine-assisted activities? An organization setting high standards of safety for its field? An organization whose centers provide therapeutic horsemanship to those with physical, cognitive and emotional challenges?

Yes to all.

PATH Intl. also provides continuing education for its credentialed professionals and center staff through its annual conference. A broad spectrum of session content is needed each year to offer a rich and rewarding experience for all attendees at the PATH Intl. Conference.

At this time PATH Intl. is conducting a call for abstracts for its annual conference, which attracts hundreds of attendees from all over the country every year. Do you have horse knowledge? Are you a vet or a farrier? Do you have knowledge of how to better care for horses, whether it’s through vet care, feeding a senior horse, euthanasia, how to tell when a vet is needed, how to evacuate horses to safety, horse equipment, innovative studies on equine—the list is long.

Come share your expertise with professionals who are thirsty to learn. The deadline for abstract submission is March 3. Visit https://www.pathintl.org/path-intl-conferences/international for information on how to submit.

We look forward to learning from you!
