PATH is the renamed acronym for which organization?

• A. PATH
• B. NARHA
• C. AHA
• D. HPCS

Answer: (B)

This item tests knowledge of the organization name change in therapeutic horsemanship. The organization originally known as North American Riding for the Handicapped Association reorganized and rebranded as PATH, or Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International. This shift reflected a broadened mission to include a wider range of therapeutic horsemanship activities and professional standards, while continuing to support instructors and therapists through certification and safety guidelines. The other options don’t fit because PATH isn’t renamed from a different organization, AHA is a different field (American Heart Association), and HPCS is a credential, not the parent organization.
