Delaney grew up in Canton, Georgia, where she began riding at 5 years old. She competed in the American Paint and Quarter Horse Associations for many years before graduating and making the decision to continue her passion for horses at the University of Kentucky. While studying Equine Science and Management, she has served as the president of the UK Western Equestrian Team and ridden on the team for three years. She has done graphic design work on behalf of UK Ag Equine Programs, helped develop the Horsey Hustle 5k Run, and serves as a Teaching Assistant for the Equine Behavior and Handling course at the college of agriculture. 

Delaney hopes to continue her love for the arts and horses in the future, and is excited to cultivate her talents at EEI. One day she hopes to be in equine insurance, marketing, public relations, graphic design, or advertising.
