From the PATH Intl. Equine Welfare Committee
|
|
To all who attended this year's PATH Intl. Conference, welcome home! I hope you all came home to a barn full of healthy horses and more beautiful fall weather. On my way home from the conference I took a detour and stopped at Jo Anne Miller's farm in Virginia to visit a center that is also a rescue and sanctuary. Brookhill Farm is a PATH Intl. Premier Accredited Center and also accredited by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries and the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance. I learned more about how to become a rescue and a sanctuary. Jo Anne shared how being an accredited rescue and sanctuary has helped her to be fully funded and able to guarantee the horses at Brookhill Farm sanctuary for the rest of their lives. I enjoyed walking the 60-acre farm while meeting the 30+ horses that live turned out. Please read this study that took place at Brookhill Farm.
For the Horses,
Cathy Languerand, PATH Intl. Equine Welfare Committee Chair
The PATH Intl. Equine Welfare Committee is committed to refining and deepening our perspective of equine well-being to include the physical, mental and emotional well-being of our wonderful four-legged partners. Join us on this journey. Please add your thoughts on the PATH Intl. Community Connections page. It is our desire that these tips start a further discussion on Community Connections. Any thoughts? We appreciate hearing from you!

Your PATH Intl. Membership: Keeping It--and You--Secure
|
|
This is just a friendly reminder to all members that your individual or instructor membership belongs to YOU and it is your responsibility to keep it secure.
Individual and instructor memberships are non-transferrable and do not belong to anyone but the original person listed as the member. Another person or business may choose to pay for individual and instructor memberships, but said payer does not own the membership/s.
It is your responsibility to keep your information secure. This includes not only your member ID number but also your online account. It is recommended that your login email address is a personal address and not a work address that may be used by another person other than you. It is not recommended that you share your login information with others. If, for work, you are required to share your account login and password with others and you leave your position, it is highly recommended that you change your email and password as soon as possible to prevent the possibility of inadvertent changes to your information.
It is always a good rule of thumb to change your password periodically. Include upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters to increase the security strength of your password.
PATH Intl. values our members and following these tips should help to keep your information and membership secure.
