GUESTS AND LINKS:
- Host: Piper Klemm of The Plaid Horse Magazine
- Guest: Delaney Flynn is a 24 year old 5* Grand Prix rider that grew up in Park City, Utah, showing on the West coast circuit with Bjorn Ikast and then with Judy Martin. Delaney got her first riding job when she was 16 years old with Will Simpson and was with him for two years before moving East. Delaney’s first job on the East Coast was with Andrea King and she then moved to Florida to work for Wembley Farms. After a few years and a lot of education with the Dello Joios, Delaney went to ride for Maarten Huygens, which brought her riding to the next level. Next, Delaney was offered a job from Christine and Jonathan McCrea at Windsor Show Stables. The McCreas wanted to hire a young American rider who didn’t necessarily have their own financial backing with goals of representing the US in team competition. Today, Delaney says that her current string of horses are the nicest she’s ever had the pleasure of riding, and she’s lucky to have the support of an amazing team.
