After what seems like an incredibly long winter break, we're beginning our Spring tune ups with our equine partners to get into shape for our upcoming sessions.

If you participated last year or were on the wait list and want to participate this Spring, please let us know. Once we know how many returning students we have, we will open registration for new students.

If you would like to volunteer this year, please stay tuned. We will soon be setting up a volunteer orientation, and we have some upcoming classroom training opportunities. More to come....

There WILL be better days!

As we watch the unprecedented fires in Los Angeles County and surrounding areas, our hearts are heavy with worry for the many PATH Intl. members, centers, participant families and animals in the area. Aside from the flames themselves, there are lost homes, evacuations, horrible air quality and all around devastation. Please check in with us here if you are in the area or call anytime (800) 369-RIDE. We are sending everyone our good vibes and strength. Please let us know if we might be of assistance and remember the PATH Intl. Disaster Relief Fund is available for PATH Intl. Centers if you need it!

As we prepare to say, goodbye, to 2024, we are so grateful to our Board of Directors, our Volunteers, our Participants and their families, our Equine Partners, Donors, Sponsors, and everyone who helped build such a supportive community around Aspen Trail Therapeutic Riding and Equine Assisted Services. 2025 brings with it so much promise, because of the foundation we have built together. Our goals include growth in the number of participants we can accommodate and expanding our herd. We hope to install an outdoor arena and acquire a more permanent solution for tack and equipment storage. And, we want to start the design phase for a Sensory Trail through the Aspens on our property. Thank you all for your continued support, and we wish you and yours a most Happy and Blessed New Year!!
