We are committed to providing them with everything they need to stay healthy, sound, and happy. As a member center of PATH, International, we follow the Five Domains Model of animal welfare, assuring/assessing the well-being of each of our horses in each of the five domains, which include nutrition, physical environment, health, behavioral interactions, and overall mental state.
The work of a therapeutic horse is both mentally and physically challenging. It takes a very special horse to do this important job and to help ensure the safety of our Lovelane riders.
