Educational Day

REGISTER NOW!

Friday, August 28, 2020
Therapeutic Riding Association of Virginia (TRAV)
Virtual Educational Workshop

In line with its mission statement of fostering equine-assisted activities by offering education and networking opportunities to operating centers and to raise public awareness of the benefits of these activities to individuals with disabilities, TRAV annually offers education days for its members, free of charge. It is also open to non-members for a small fee.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, and with such uncertainty surrounding travel, social distancing, and other factors yet to be determined for the next few months, the TRAV Board of Directors made the decision to shift the August education day to a virtual platform.

Please join us for this immersive and educational opportunity.
