You might be asking where the heck you should start, what you need to do, how to prepare for everything? I remember, years ago, looking at all the information and wondering a lot of the same things! Please understand I’m not knocking on the certification process or organization. Embarking on any new journey that has has novel information and a unique process can create these feelings and questions!

PARTICIPANT TESTIMONIALS

This course is a MUST for anyone beginning the CTRI process (like me). The process is daunting. Period. But Saebra Pipoly provides a guided walk-through of this daunting process to help break it down into digestible portions. The knowledge offered in this course will afford confidence in working towards your CTRI certification one step at a time. If you feel disheartened or disillusioned with the mountain before you that is the CTRI Certification process, let Saebra Pipoly with Hoof Falls and Footfalls take your hand and show you that the mountain indeed can be scaled and you can become PATH CTRI-Certified. -Katherine C. Texas, USA

As an Equine Science major at a higher education PATH Intl facility currently taking a gap year due to COVID-19, this course was the perfect introduction to navigating the new CTRI process, as my initial plans of in-person learning were put on hold. Saebra Pipoly of Hoof Falls and Foot Falls is a knowledgeable, patient, and supportive teacher who wants to make this certification process as painless as possible. By offering a variety of class meeting days and times over a 2 week period, Saebra catered to multiple different time zones with this course in order to make it accessible for all. She also provided numerous links and educational study resources that are well worth the course fee. Thus, I would highly recommend this course to any instructor-in-training! –Diana B. Westwood, Massachusetts, USA

This course was incredibly informative for both those starting the CTRI certification process and for mentors who want to learn more about the process. Saebra gives so many great tips and resources! I highly recommend this course! – Cindy L, Indiana, USA
