High Hopes Director Earns New Certification
The PATH Intl. Master Instructor Certification is the highest certification level an instructor can achieve through PATH Intl., designed for those instructors with career involvement in therapeutic riding and other equine-assisted activities and therapies. Master Instructors have a strong background in horsemanship, teaching and a thorough knowledge of a variety of physical, cognitive, intellectual and emotional disabilities and their relationship to therapeutic riding and other equine-assisted activities and therapies. They are also capable of training other therapeutic riding instructors to the Advanced level.
High Hopes is fortunate to have Ms. Adams’ talent and commitment within our ranks and congratulate her on this professional level of achievement.
