Tara joined the Delaney team in May 2023. Her background is all things animal related from small animal rescue to dairy farm. The admiration for the horse that she possess started from a young age. It began with English riding lessons that blossomed into casually show jumping her late OTTB. The barn was always her home away from home where chores and tending to horses basic needs was not just a task, but a way of life. Born and raised in Red Deer, her passion for horses brought her to Sherwood Park.

 

Currently studying towards becoming an Equine Remedial Therapist at the Canadian Equine Therapy Institute, she strives toward bring her knowledge of the horse to the surrounding community and onward.

 

Tara enjoys spending as much time as she can outside, walking her golden Aussie, Ryker.

Whitney obtained a Bachelor of Animal Health degree at the University of Alberta in the fall of 2023 and recently joined the Delaney team. She grew up in the northern town of High Level, Alberta on an acreage with many animals, both small and large. Whitney started riding horses at a young age and has participated in many different events such as Pony Club, gymkhanas, rodeos, and trail riding. She currently has two senior horses, a paint gelding named Wayne and a percheron/paint mare named Keira. In her free time, Whitney enjoys spending time with her nieces and nephew, and exploring new riding trails in the Edmonton area. Whitney plans to pursue further education in the equine industry and is excited for the opportunity to work with and learn from all of the Delaney staff.

Hanna grew up on her family farm, gaining years of hands-on experience working with a variety of animals. From feeding livestock to training horses, farm life has shaped who she is today. She currently owns two amazing mares, Fancy and Marlee, along with her dog, Emma, and her cat, Madi. Outside of barn life, Hanna is working toward becoming a Registered Veterinary Technician through Penn Foster. Whether she’s hauling to rodeos, working in the barn or clinic, riding trails, or studying for school, Hanna’s life revolves around animals — and she wouldn’t have it any other way.
