Today is International Day of Acceptance, a time to pause and think about what acceptance looks like in practice and how to continue fostering environments where people participate fully, have their voices heard and are supported in everyday life.

We had special guests from American Quarter Horse Association and Mustard Seed Ranch in the PATH Intl. office last week. Aaron and Jody Enget stopped by to welcome new CEO Kevin Price and wish Kathy Alm a happy retirement.

Great partnerships move the horse industry forward.

We are grateful for the leadership of outgoing CEO Kathy Alm and look forward to working with incoming CEO Kevin Price.

Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a time to reflect on Dr. Martin Luther King’s vision of justice, unity and compassion. As the only federal holiday recognized as a National Day of Service, it reminds us that even one small act of kindness can help build bridges and break down barriers in our communities and beyond.

We're crafting an article for the upcoming Strides edition focused on the Next Generation of EAS and need your ideas about internships! If you have had, or would like to have an intern at your center, please leave us a comment with what projects you've had them work on or would like to have them work on? If you have a photo we could use in the upcoming edition include that too and we'll be in touch for further details. Project ideas that are both equine-related (horse care, instructing) and non-related (web development, marketing, OT/PT, etc.) are welcome!

It's Welfare Wednesday and we have another tip from the PATH Intl. equine welfare committee. Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) is a progressive disease affecting the central nervous system. EPM is spread through contaminated pasture grass, hay, grain, or water, and can be caused by infected opossum f***s. Birds can also spread the disease, making it difficult to control. Any neurologic symptoms without a fever are cause to contact your veterinarian immediately. For more information, visit https://loom.ly/85tdQac.
