Farm Visits

Hey there! I am Michelle Jennings, Equine Nutritionist and Director of Equine Nutrition and Sales here at The Mill. I have spent my entire career helping to find solutions for horses battling against nutrition related issues. This passion stemmed from the extensive research and years of dealing with horses of my own with digestive problems. Realizing as a young adult how intrigued I was by the science of it all, I obtained my degree in Equine Science with an emphasis in Equine Nutrition from Wilson College in Chambersburg, PA. Since graduating in
1995, I have worked extensively with several widely respected Equine Nutritionists and Equine Feed Companies; namely Pennfield, Kentucky Equine Research and McCauley Brothers before landing at The Mill, fulltime, in 2007. Today, my husband, J.B. and I reside here in Harford County along with our two children, J.W. and Kate. They keep my non-working hours packed full of horses, hockey and lacrosse. I am committed to staying abreast of today’s latest research and products to offer our customers the most recent and updated advice on the market.

Hi!  My name is Kelley Nash. I have been with The Mill since 2019 as an Equine Sales Manager. Flexibility is the name of the game in my roll and I love the variety. My focus is to provide support for our team, as well as, our customers.  While I spend one-on-one time with customers on farms and on the racetracks, helping to connect them with the right information and/or products relevant to their situation; you will also find me assembling job aides for our team members and developing presentation materials for in and out of house trainings.

My responsibilities on the Equine Team are just as eclectic as my personal and professional career experiences. I was raised on a small farm in the Midwest. Horses and dogs have always been a huge part of my life. Thus, lending to my pursuit of two degrees in Equine Riding and Training from Northwest College in Powell, WY and Animal Science with a specialization in Equine Science from Montana State University in Bozeman, MT. I also worked for the Wyoming Fish and Wildlife Service tracking wolves after the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.

Since graduating in 2004, I have worked as a Hospital Manager at one of the top 10 Equine Hospitals in the country in Oconomowoc, WI (Wisconsin Equine Clinic & Hospital); been a Ranch-Hand on a large cow/calf and performance horse operation in northern Montana (Cowan Select Performance Horses); a Stallion Manager for a large Quarter Horse Ranch in Guthrie, Texas (6666’s Ranch); and Barn Manager/Assistant Trainer at Fair Hill Training Center in
Elkton, MD.

Currently, I live in Lancaster County, PA with my five dogs.  I enjoy working with and grooming my pups, tending to my indoor and outdoor plants and flower gardens and watching Christmas movies regardless of the time of year.  With decades of hands-on horse experience in both personal and professional settings and a desire for organization, efficiency and communication, I am dedicated to serving our customers and our team by providing personalized solutions and assistance.

I’ve proudly been part of The Mill’s Equine Sales Team since 2013, serving as a Racetrack Specialist with a focus on equine nutrition and performance. As a third-generation Thoroughbred racehorse trainer in the Mid-Atlantic region, I bring decades of hands-on experience in racing and horse management to support our clients and their horses at every level of competition.

My career has been dedicated to helping fuel the equine athlete, whether on the track or in training, by aligning nutrition strategies with the specific needs of each horse. I work closely with trainers, owners, and barn managers to provide practical, results-based solutions backed by industry knowledge and a deep respect for the sport.

My wife and I reside in Cecil County, Maryland, and although we recently retired from farm ownership, our love for horses and the racing community remains strong. We have two children, a grown son who owns and operates his own business in the horse industry, and a daughter currently pursuing a career in anesthesiology. Our two dogs keep us company and grounded at home.

My lifelong involvement in the Thoroughbred racing industry, both professionally and personally, keeps me deeply connected to the track and the equine world, and I’m proud to share that experience with our customers here at The Mill.
