Nicki & Mantequilla

 

Nicki Carson, Account Manager

Nicki Carson is a lifelong horsewoman who is excited about putting her knowledge of the horse industry to work for MLE clients. Her passion for horses started at the age of six when she told her parents, "If I don’t get riding lessons for my birthday, then don’t get me anything at all!" That passion continued, and she grew into a confident young woman with a dream of reaching the Olympics. For years she was a working student, first for a hunter trainer, and then for an eventing trainer. Once into the sport of eventing, she fell in love with dressage.

Nicki currently resides in North Central Maryland, where she bases her training business, FCF Sport Horses out of her mom's Flying Chesterfield Farm. Nicki specializes in the breaking and training of horses and ponies for Dressage and Eventing. In her spare time, you can find her out on the Region 1 Dressage and USEA Area 2 show circuits with home-breds (Whisper to Heaven and DeLiza) and client horses.

 

 


Ashley & Uno

Ashley Colonel, On-staff Bookkeeper

Ashley Colonel has been working as a bookkeeper and an accountant for 20 years now, working for many different types of businesses, hotels, spas, equestrian facilities, trainers, and restaurants, as well as helping to run a family-owned scenic float-trip company. She started organizing and hosting equestrian camps when she was the Area IX Adult Rider Coordinator from 2003-2005. This later led to the formation of Four Star Management where Ashley combined her bookkeeping skills and her love for horsemanship. She currently manages several equestrian businesses, including Amy Tryon’s and Stephen Bradley’s.

Ashley began riding at the age of 5, taking Western pleasure lessons. When her family moved to Texas, they couldn’t locate a Western riding instructor, but found a Pony Club trainer, and her passion for eventing was born. She has competed through the Intermediate level with her OTTB TB, Numero Uno. They have been together for 12 years now. The winters in Jackson Hole are tough, so Ashley only gets to ride about 5 months out of the year, but says it keeps her focused. She’s thrilled to be joining Mythic Landing and their outstanding team of professionals.

 

 


Sue & Mickey

Sue O'Donnell, Sales Assistant

Sue O'Donnell has assisted Margaret behind the scenes at area shows and clinics for the last couple of seasons (you've probably seen her behind the prize tables), and has now stepped in as the MLE Sales Assistant. She brings with her years of horse care and equestrian-based retail experience, and is excited to put her diverse knowledge to good use. A recreational rider, Sue spends her free time at the barn she shares with her mom, and on a nice day you can usually find her and Mickey, her Appaloosa gelding, out on a "suburban trail ride" through the development.
