Saturday Mornings:

Saturday mornings alternate between instructors.

Note: It takes almost a year of hard work and many steps to become an internationally recognized PATH Instructor. They must pass tests, take classes, complete many volunteer training hours instructing; and finally complete a 3 day intensive pass or fail workshop. They must also complete 20 credit hours of “Continuing Education” classes each year to keep their certification. We cannot operate our sessions unless we have a certified instructor in the arena. Please show them your appreciation whenever possible and not take what they do for granted. Horseplay Therapeutic Riding Center is a nonprofit organization managed by a six-member, volunteer board. The board meets monthly to review and discuss the program’s budget, barn management, fundraising, volunteer recruitment, etc.
