PATH is an international governing body that sets standards for equine therapy and equine facilitated learning for centers that provide services for the disabled. PATH Int. has been a leader in therapeutic riding since 1969. You can visit their website at http://www.pathintl.org.

Breaking Free earned a Premier Accredited Center in 2013 through the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship Intl. We have been a PATH Center Member and followed their safety and program guidelines since 2009, when we began.

Why Therapeutic Riding?

Our therapeutic programs improve riders' physical, psychological, and cognitive abilities. Abilities such as balance, coordination, strength, and patience are only a few of those strengthened through horseback riding. The horse is a means of exercise, as well as a warm and friendly companion.
