Allison Wheaton

Allison grew up with horses and knows first hand the therapeutic benefits they bring to our lives. Allison was drawn to Equine Assisted Activities & Therapies because of the power that horses have to help people. She founded Summit Equestrian Center in 2010 with the mission to improve the lives of children and adults of ALL abilities through interaction with horses. Allison has been a PATH certified therapeutic riding instructor since 2007 and is a certified Equine Specialist through PATH Intl and EAGALA, and has taken several courses through Natural Lifemanship. Having this wide variety of knowledge and experience allows her to be resourceful and help individuals with their unique circumstances.

Her laid back style and contagious energy creates a barn atmosphere that is conducive to laughter, transparency, and fun. She is the fearless leader of an eclectic “herd” at Summit that includes: our horses, sheep, pygmy goats, a potbelly pig, chickens, a duck, cats, and her faithful dog Bernie. (Source)
