Welcome Delaney Wright with WrightChoiceFarms to Carmel Equestrian as our full time trainer, instructor, barn manager! We are over-the-top excited to have Delaney's experience, talent and positive vibes leading our growth! Delaney brings extensive showing experience in the Hunter/Jumper/Equitation rings and has learned from and worked for top trainers as an assistant trainer in CA, FL, and in the North East...Michael Tokaruk, Rick Fancher, Kyle Timm, Kyle Dewar and Robert Blanchette. She grew up in Oklahoma working hard in barns, braiding, hauling big rig trailers, and overall, earning the respect of all around her with her horsemanship skills and work ethic. I met Delaney ten years ago when my son Drew and daughter Kate also qualified for the Emerging Athletes Program for Atlanta, GA. CEC is proud to have Delaney leading the growth of the beginner to advanced and show program options.

I’m officially a … again! 🐎

The last time I was on a horse was at my grandparents’ home in Louisiana when I was 8yo. I was riding with my cousin and we got bucked off and I haven’t been on since.

But I’m back in the groove after hanging out with Brose and Kathy at to talk about and the wonderful work the nonprofit is doing to help children with life skills!

Stay tuned for the story on on ReJoyce Financial

We are excited to host a weekend of Masterson Method training from Coralie Hughes. Improve performance, communication and your relationship with the horse. The Masterson Method is a unique, interactive method of equine bodywork that anyone can learn. Build trust, relieve stress and physical tension by working with the horse, rather than to the horse.

Location: Carmel Equestrian Center 11801 River Road Carmel, IN 46033 The prerequisite for this course is to purchase and view the Beyond Horse Massage DVD and/or the Beyond Horse Massage book prior to attending. These will be good reference tools going forward.
