LESSONS ARE TAUGHT BY ONE OF OUR PATH INTERNATIONAL CERTIFIED INSTRUCTORS. PARTICIPANTS SHOW IMPROVED INDEPENDENCE, SELF-ESTEEM, CONCENTRATION, VERBAL FLUENCY AND REDUCED ANXIETY. THERE WERE A TOTAL OF 6,148 ADAPTIVE RIDING LESSONS IN 2017. 25244 27780 LITTLE BIT HOSTS WORKSHOPS/CERTIFICATION FOR PATH INTERNATIONAL AND AMERICAN HIPPOTHERAPY ASSOCIATION (AHA).
