Trainers and Staff
Behind every great ride is a team of people who make it possible — from the trainers who guide the process to the staff who care for the horses and manage the details that keep the whole barn running smoothly. At Cummings Eventing, we believe in a collaborative, hardworking, and heart-centered approach to horsemanship. Our team brings decades of experience, deep horse sense, and a shared commitment to supporting riders and horses at every stage of their journey. From teaching lessons and grooming for shows, to tracking schedules and making sure nothing falls through the cracks, every role matters.
We’re proud of the people behind the scenes showing up —rain or ribbons, sunshine or sore muscles — with heart and grace.
Anna Cummings
Anna Cummings is the head trainer and founder of Cummings Eventing, where she combines over a decade of professional teaching with a lifetime of horsemanship.
A 2★ event rider competing at the Preliminary level, Anna is known for her thoughtful, individualized approach that builds confidence, connection, and clarity between horse and rider.
Raised in a family of trainers—her mother a dressage and eventing professional, her father a skilled colt starter—Anna’s philosophy balances classical foundation with modern feel. She has trained extensively with Olympian Julie Richards, and continues to learn from top professionals including Phillip Dutton, Captain Mark Phillips, and Jessica Wisdom.
Now also a mother, Anna brings a deepened sense of patience, balance, and perspective to her coaching. She believes growth in and out of the saddle go hand in hand—and creates an environment where riders of all levels can learn, progress, and truly enjoy the journey.
