Gretchen Davis, Lead Instructor & PATH CTRI
Gretchen grew up riding at Blackland Farm in San Diego and has been teaching for over 20 years, both locally and in the southwest Virginia area where she earned her BA from Virginia Intermont College. She earned her PATH Int’l Registered Level Instructor Certification in June 2009 and joined the staff at Helen Woodward shortly after. Her students are an inspiration and a joy, and the wonderful volunteers and co-workers make the work here even more enjoyable.
Susan Quillman, On Call Instructor & PATH CTRI
Susan is an example of how some of the best employees can come through the Volunteer program. Susan was a volunteer with Therapeutic Riding and was motivated by her experience to take her horse experience and begin pursing her PATH Int’l Instructor Certification. Shortly after that, we were delighted to have her join our staff as an Instructor in Training. In July 2016, after a long and challenging process, Susan achieved her PATH Registered Level Instructor Certification and was promoted to Instructor.
