"Where gentle animals give and get love"
In 1997, Claudia Campbell moved to Florida from NY and purchased her home which soon became Delmar Farm. The name Delmar came from a combination of two very special horses, Shalimar and Delgamo. When Claudia was only 13 years old, she rescued her first horse Shalimar. She kept and took care of that horse through her young adulthood until 16 years later when Shalimar passed. Claudia made sure to provide for that horse no matter what. Then came Delgamo - a difficult horse who taught Claudia so much but despite the challenges between them, Claudia kept and cared for Delgamo for twenty years until he passed. So Del and Mar from both of those names became Delmar Farm back in 1998 and the same acts of compassion and responsibility have remained and have become what Delmar Farm is still now and will always be.
Once settled in Florida, Claudia continued her horseback riding training which had started years earlier on Long Island, NY at a show barn (Wellington Show Stables) in Wellington as a full time trainer. It was here that Claudia became familiar with the highly competitive horse show world and helped her students earn numerous grand championships. She did this for 7 years until she became a mother to her two daughters and that is when she started acquiring a few more ponies and taught lessons from her own farm. She was happy to offer children more than just riding and rather she always stresses how important it is to know how to properly take care of the horse. Over the years, Claudia became so much more passionate about rescue and how important it is and she has helped so many animals over the years. She believes in the commitment to a safe retirement for older or injured horses and many of her own have been under her care for many years and have a home for life at Delmar Farm. Our horses are so well seasoned with teaching children. Their kind souls continue to benefit so many. They don't ask for anything much in return...just for our love and care.
