Interest in therapeutic horsemanship continues to grow throughout the U.S. and the rest of the world, which is why the Parelli Education Institute is offering several therapeutic horsemanship specialty courses this year.
“It’s amazing to see the impact horses have on people who are dealing with physical and psychological challenges,” explained Parelli Education Institute Executive Director Lori Northrup. “For those of us who work with horses, and teach others about working with horses, it’s important we continue to learn best practices in therapeutic horsemanship. It benefits everyone involved.”
There are two upcoming Parelli Education Institute Therapeutic Horsemanship Specialty Courses. The courses are geared toward leaders in the therapeutic horsemanship industry who are interested in learning more about how Parelli can create safer programs, as well as for licensed Parelli Professionals who are interested in learning how to serve therapeutic centers.
