Anne Meredith Winograd graduated from Mount Holyoke College in 1990, A member of the top intercollegiate riding team in the country. After graduating college, she moved to Boston and worked full-time for the management consultant firm, Bain & Company, Inc. She also taught riding lessons for the Ken Edwards Riding School and co-managed the 76 stall Longview Farm equestrian facilty in Danvers, MA before moving back to Florida in 1992. Anne started riding as a child, showing hunt seat at eight years of age with Canadian Olympic rider Martha Ann Shires at New Canaan Mounted Troop, in New Canaan, Ct. She successfully competed in open hunter/jumper competitions until moving to Tampa in 1982 where she changed to western and competed throughout West Central Florida.
Anne has always been an industrious, goal-oriented person. She became one of the first equine physical therapists in the country, certified in equine sports massage in 1991. While co-barn managing the Longview Farm equestrian facility, she trained and showed her Arabian stallion. Returning to Tampa in 1992 with three Arabian show horses and a Thoroughbred school horse, Anne trained her horses, taught lessons, and promoted her equine sports massage practice. She also worked part-time as a veterinary technician for a local equine practitioner. These experiences contribute to her respect as a horsewoman, and her skills in equine health care and physical conditioning and rehabilitation.
Anne was introduced to Morgan horses when she asked to come and address the conditioning and sports therapy needs of the Morgan show horses at Freedom Acres in Tampa. Anne took special notice of the extremely well-mannered and popular breed. Subsequently, Anne became more closely associated with the Morgan horses there and their fun-loving clients, meeting and eventually marrying Morgan horse owner Glenn Winograd in 1997.
While employed full-time with United HealthCare as the senior Corporate Technical Writer, Anne trained and showed hunt seat, western, and driving. Eventually leaving her position at UHC, Anne contnued to write and freelance as a technical writing career, and in 1998, began work as full-time Professional Trainer/Instructor once again. She continues to train and show, is a certified Equine Appraiser, and teaches a wonderful group of beginners through advanced riders and drivers. Additionally, Anne has developed interests in several related industries including consulting for national equine products companies, website development and support of the UPHA Chapter 16 and Academy program, as well generating concepts for future websites and businesses. She has created the therapy programs that have become integral to the WCM services, and act as a rehabilitation facility for horses transitioning from a hospital setting to return to work.
Anne coordinates all of the training and business management of West Coast Morgans, Inc. with assistance from her husband, Glenn. They have two wonderful children, Rachael and Ethan, and three silly dogs, Desi, Lucy, and Nova.
