Muncie Light Horse Club was Founded in 1942 and is a Nonprofit Organization

Our Story

The MLHC has been active since 1942 in Muncie and surrounding communities. Our activities have included a variety from horse shows to trail riding, volunteering in the community to hosting fundraisers.  Our members are from all walks of life and professions but share a common love for the horse. The club's objective is to create, stimulate, and maintain interest in saddle horses of the light horse breed.  The club members meet on the second Monday of the month from October to May with a carry-in dinner and guest speakers. Warmer months include rides and other club outings and activities. MLHC is always seeking new members.

Greg Wilkins - President

Hi, I'm a career firefighter with over 33 years on the Muncie Fire Department and currently hold the rank of Battalion Chief.

 

Nancy and I have been members of the Muncie Light Horse Club since 1989.  During that time one or both of us have been on the board in one capacity or another. 

 

I am also a board member on the Indiana Trail Riders Association in my second term.  I have been actively involved in the development and maintenance of the Prairie Creek horse trails for the past two decades.

 

We enjoy trail riding and camping with our horses.

LuAnn Williams - Vice President

I will begin my role as MLHC Vice President in January 2024 and have been a member of the MLHC for many years.  I am an active member and throughout the years have been on the Board of Directors in different roles that include but are not limited to secretary, Vice President, President, and even immediate past President. I love riding horses and the camaraderie the club has to offer. We are a small club with lots of potential. 

 

I have been a massage therapist for 35 years and belong to the American Massage Therapy Association, where I have also served on the board of directors for several years.  Love my profession and have enjoyed and appreciated all the people that have come my way, but I am happy to say I am now semi-retired.

I am married to Rodney; we have 3 grown children with 5 grandkids and 10 great-grandkids. We have 4 Tennessee Walking horses, Doc, Lilly, Lexus, and Moses, and 5 dogs, Nellie, Stella, Ace, Myra, and Ellie Mae at our home. I wish I could say that Rodney enjoys the animals as much as I do, but I can only say he accepts them for me.  Looking forward to new and wonderful things for 2026.

Ilene Parrish - Treasurer

Hello,  I have been a member for about 20 years.  Since the doctor told my husband it was not a good idea for him to be out riding a horse, we had to sell them. 

 

We still enjoy being around all the MLHC people and horses and helping with events.  My hobbies include kayaking, biking, camping, and scrap-booking, and being with family & friends.

Rachell Schultz - Secretary & Social Media Person / Newsletter

Howdy, I am a Mom of some little miracles, Esthetician, Artist, and lifetime horse girl! I've had horses my whole life, showed, trained, broke many different breeds from driving, racing, and showing.  As time has gone on, I also have other passions. I am a Naturalist at heart while trying to help others along the way. Love outdoor adventures, but Horses of Course!

I love being a part of the MLHC, it has been around for generations, and I believe it will be for generations to come because of the families, friends, and memories it provides. Being on the trails with loved ones and your horse, there's nothing better! Hope to see you all Out there, Happy Trails...

Lisa Cron - Board Member

Hello! My name is Lisa Cron and I have been a member of the MLHC for about 14 years. My

husband John and I live near Middletown, IN on a 12 acre place with a creek and woods. We

love living out in the country! We have a Great Dane named Ranger, two indoor cats and 3 barn

cats plus my Kentucky Mountain Horse, Montana. I have been an elementary art teacher for 34

years! It is a great job! When the weather is nice, I love to camp and trail ride with friends. We

have traveled to Virginia, Tennessee, Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky, and South Dakota with our

horses. My favorite place to visit is Glacier Park, MT. My mom is from Montana and I have been

on about a dozen pack trips into the Bob Marshall Wilderness with my uncle Larry who lives in

Montana.

Our family includes John’s daughter, Scarlett, and son-in-law, Kameron and two grandsons,

Liam and Lukas. So far their favorite thing to do is ride dirt bikes. It has been a pleasure being a

part of the Muncie Light Horse Club and meeting some wonderful horse-loving friends.

My other hobby is playing Bluegrass music with a group of guys. I play a mandolin. It is so

much fun!

Robin Miller - Board Member

I have been a nurse for 28 years. I currently work for Medtronic, a Medical Device Manufacturer, as a Clinical Manager. I have enjoyed friendships through membership with MLHC for several years. I became a board member in 2026. I enjoy trail riding and showing horses with my husband, Rob. I have 3 grown kids (Justin, Giancarlo and Allie), 1 daughter-in-law (Jenn) and 2 granddaughters (Sylvie and Elliott who seem to have the horse bug - fingers crossed). We have 5 quarter horses, 1 half-Arabian and 1 Friesian.  

Like most horse people, I feel like I was born with the obsession. I'm equally happy working on developing a horse at home or in the show ring as riding down the trail somewhere. When I'm not with my horses, I'm thinking about being with my horses. Looking forward to meeting many more people through this club!

Nancy Coker - Board Member

Hi, I’m Nancy Coker. I moved back to Indiana from Tennessee two years ago to be
closer to family. I’m originally from northern Indiana but ended up in the Muncie area
and I’m happy I did. I work from home for Progressive Insurance. I have three grown
daughters and eight grandchildren and I adore them all.
I fell in love with horses as a very young girl from the very first sight, touch, sound, smell
etc. I can remember. I did not come from a family that having a horse, or even spending
time with horses seemed possible, but God put this passion for horses in my heart and
with His intervention and my determination, a life including horses became a reality. I
have two horses. Tango an appendix QH and Mateo a half Paso Fino and half TN
Walker. I am totally crazy about them and very grateful to have had them for many
years. They are both my heart horses and best buds. I love trail riding and camping.
Who doesn’t?! LOL
I’m so grateful for the Muncie Light Horse Club. I’ve met so many wonderful and like-
minded people. They are also a fun group! This is the group I was looking for that I
didn’t know existed. This is my first year serving on the board of directors and I’m
thankful for the opportunity to work with such a knowledgeable and committed (and fun!)
group of horse loving individuals.

Rickie Sipe - Board Member

I work in an exciting job where I get to meet new people and help friends with their real estate needs, my husband Ron is retired. 

 

We have a wonderful farm we call Autumn Dream, and we have 7 walkers and one very spoiled pony that also calls Autumn Dream home.

Although we have slowed down our trail riding, we still love to camp and ride.  In the past, we have traveled all over the country experiencing the joy of seeing nature at its finest while riding our wonderful horses as they bring such joy.
