Trudy Mossop has been finding ways to have horses in her life from a young age, starting off by mucking out stalls at a neighbor’s barn to trade for riding lessons. She rode with the Cornell University recreational equestrian program (mostly hunter-jumper) during college and was a trail ride leader during graduate school. Trudy became a PATH certified therapeutic horseback riding instructor in Philadelphia, PA at Pegasus Riding Academy, where she managed a 15 horse herd, including their ongoing training and exercise programs. She has a Master’s of Science in Human Development and Family Studies from the University of Delaware, and is a Washington state approved trainer for early learning educators. During the week, Trudy is a Program Coordinator in the University of Washington for the department of Biomedical Informatics and Medical Education where she builds and manages exams for medical students. She escapes the city to hike, bike, and camp with her husband and dogs. Trudy is SAFE’s Saturday Barn Staff.
