Celebrating 50 Years! Member of the Month: Rachel Royston
|
|
Rachel first joined PATH Intl. in 2008 when she had a new friend who was a NARHA instructor who insisted she volunteer with the Indiana School for the Blind. Her friend worked on her for a couple of months before her boss told her to take a long lunch so she could see what it was all about. Currently, she's with Turning Point Ranch Therapeutic Riding Center, a PATH Intl. Premier Accredited Center in Stillwater, OK.
 She says her favorite thing about belonging to the EAAT community is serving people who are facing enormous challenges and helping them conquer -- whether it's sitting up straight, learning how to establish boundaries or developing a partnership with a horse that will serve them in every aspect of their life.
