FARMINGDALE, NJ
My name is Ashley Mulvaney. I am going to be a transfer student at Delaware Valley College in the Fall 2012 semester with a major of Equine Studies. When I am not in school, I am fulfilling my duties as the Barn Manager at Coltie's Place Farm and spending time with my horses. I also take hunter/jumper lessons and compete in rated and not-rated competitions. After graduating high school, I attended Johnson and Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island with a major in Equine studies before deciding I wanted to go to school closer to home. When I am not focusing on my schoolwork or my horses, I am indulging in my love of photography, reading, and writing.
