Participant Registration
Complete Your Registration
Providing safe, high-quality equine assisted services requires careful preparation. The following information outlines our registration and documentation requirements.
Annual Documentation Required
In accordance with PATH International standards, all participant paperwork must be updated annually in its entirety, including a completed Physician Release. Participants with expired or incomplete documentation will not be permitted to begin services until updated forms are received and reviewed.
Submission Deadline
All required paperwork must be completed and submitted to Agape no later than three (3) weeks prior to the program start date. This allows our team adequate time to review documentation, assess safety considerations, and determine appropriate equine pairing and staffing.
Eligibility & Safety Review
Submission of paperwork does not automatically guarantee participation. For the safety of participants, volunteers, and our equine partners, Agape reserves the right to determine service eligibility. PATH standards identify certain medical conditions that are contraindicated for mounted services and others that require precautionary measures. A team member will follow up if additional information is needed.
Equine Welfare & Weight Policy
The wellbeing of our equine partners is a top priority. Accurate rider weight must be provided during registration. Agape maintains a 200-pound maximum rider weight limit, and each equine has a specific weight capacity they can safely carry. If mounted services are not appropriate, alternative options such as groundwork may be discussed when available.
Physician Release Requirements
The Physician Release must be completed in full by a licensed physician or specialist familiar with the participant’s diagnosis. All sections must be completed, dated, and signed. Participants may not engage in mounted services if this form is incomplete or not received prior to the program start date.
Please confirm receipt of your Physician Release before services begin. Agape’s fax number: 317-984-9103
