In Episode 8 of the SaddleUp Podcast, Heather Lynn sits down with Carmen Dalton — Owner and Head Trainer of Foggy Mountain Ranch in Morgantown, West Virginia — for an inspiring conversation about passion, perseverance, and building something meaningful from the ground up.
Carmen shares how her lifelong love of horses, paired with a strong background in medicine and business, shaped her unique journey. After pursuing a career in nursing, an unexpected opportunity in 2022 led her to purchase the property that would become Foggy Mountain Ranch. What started with just three horses and a leap of faith has grown into one of the largest equine facilities in the state.
Today, Carmen and her team board, train, lease, sell, and teach — with their standout program, the Foggy Mountain Ranch Champion Riding Academy, supporting four barrel racing teams across different riding levels. She also discusses how her medical knowledge helps her provide exceptional care and rehabilitation for the horses she works with.
✨ Tune in for an empowering episode about following your passions, trusting the process, and building a thriving equine community through dedication, knowledge, and heart.
