The People-Pet Partnership (PPP)



PATH, a therapeutic riding program, gives
children and adults with disabilities the joy of riding a horse.
The Pet-People Partnership (PPP), a public service program in the Center for the Study of Animal Well-Being (CSAW) in the College of Veterinary Medicine, was created to more fully understand the human–animal bond and to promote the humane treatment of companion animals.


Through education, research, and outreach, the PPP provides a number of important public services, including:



Palouse Area Therapeutic Horsemanship (PATH): A program that provides recreational therapeutic horseback riding to people with emotional, mental, and physical disabilities


Human-Animal Bond Research: Our research seeks to better understand the significant bond between animals and humans, how caring for animals enhances human well-being, and how the bond between animals and humans influences veterinary medicine.

Pet Education Partnership: An online curriculum to teach children responsible pet ownership
