WINDHAM
RTT volunteer chosen for award
The Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International (PATH Intl.) has recognized Pat Niboli as its 2021 PATH Intl. Volunteer of the Year.
PATH Intl. leads the advancement of professional equine-assisted services by supporting its members and stakeholders through rigorously developed standards, credentialing and education.
Niboli is a longtime volunteer of Riding To The Top Therapeutic Riding Center (RTT), whose mission is to enhance health and wellness through equine-assisted services.
RTT board member and fellow volunteer Janis Childs said Niboli is a dedicated and passionate supporter of the center. “I am sure that there is not anything she has not done at the farm,” said Childs. “She mucks, she feeds, she invents, she is a horse leader in lessons, and she is the ‘driving’ force behind the carriage driving team! Those are just a few of her gifts that she offers on a weekly basis!”
RTT Executive Director Sarah Bronson agreed, noting that Niboli is always thinking about how to help out, bringing new people to the farm and raising important funds to “keep the programs strong, the horses fit and the clients happy.”
“There is no one more deserving of this award and we are thrilled that (Niboli) has been recognized for her efforts, not only by RTT, but internationally by PATH Intl,” said Bronson.
A virtual awards ceremony will be held by PATH Intl. on Nov. 5.
