About Ann Cummings

Ann is a Level II Centered Riding Instructor. In 2000 Ann worked with nationally known level III CR instructor, Donna Snyder Smith to receive her recommendation to Centered Riding and received her Level I instructor status through Level IV CR , international Instructor and author, Wendy Murdoch. In 2005 Ann received her Level II recommendations through Senior level IV CR international Instructors Sue Leffler and Lucille Bump.

Throughout her riding career, Ann has received instruction from cavalry and dressage masters to members of the USEF and a former member of the French equestrian team and graduate of the Cadre Noir - one of Europe’s oldest and most prestigious riding academies. She believes in continuing and diversifying her education. She has also worked with T.E.A.M., as some of theses methods parallel Centered Riding’s philosophies. She has also worked with Tom Nagel in his rider biomechanics clinics.

Ann grew up riding Hunt Seat Equitation and jumping. She has ridden western while working on dude ranches out west. She currently rides and competes in distance riding with one of her students!

Ann works with ages 7 to adult teaching and coaching Endurance, Competitive, Dressage, Eventing and Pleasure riders. One of her greatest rewards is to share fun and effective methods to help riders  “think outside the box” to increase skills and confidence in both rider and horse. Small and subtle changes can often bring big results. Ann travels throughout Wisconsin to teach. She also teaches, coaches, and trains, competitors and pleasure riders from her own barn in Elkhorn.
