The PATH Intl. Equine Specialist in Mental Health & Learning (ESMHL) Certification Subcommittee and Certification Oversight Committee have voted to expand the options for an ESMHL candidate to achieve their equine-assisted services hours requirements for Step 7 of their portfolio submission. Starting January 1, 2024 all current ESMHL candidates can submit either option 1, option 2, or the new option 3 for their EAS hours requirements.


Option 3: 30 clock hours working or volunteering at a PATH Intl. center offering psychotherapy incorporating equines or equine-assisted learning programs and/or under the supervision of a PATH Intl. Certified Professional. The candidate must have actively participated in every session/activity documented. Only equine-assisted learning and/or psychotherapy incorporating equines sessions will count towards these hours. AND 30 clock hours working or volunteering at a PATH Intl. center offering therapeutic riding sessions at a PATH Intl. center and/or under the supervision of a PATH Intl. Certified professional
