He emphasizes practical horsemanship and outdoor skills in his trail riding and camping clinics.


Peggy Cummings – Connected Riding

 Teaching “feel” is the gift that Peggy Cummings shares with riders worldwide. She is a master rider Peggy-Cummings-1-768x512and teacher and has the same passion and perseverance for her mission that she began over 40 years ago. She believed then and now ‘knows for sure’ that promoting freedom of movement and reciprocity through elastic connection between horse and rider creates the magic of being ‘in sync.’  It’s the memory so many people have of being on a horse as a child.  Peggy Cummings’ Connected Riding has found a way to help anyone recapture that feeling again.
