Nicole Candelaria

vice president

Nicole's love of horses led her to Walkin N Circles Ranch in 2014 where she started her volunteer journey as an afternoon feeder. She's had many different roles at the ranch and continues to volunteer her time, energy, ideas and effort for the betterment of WNCR.

Nicole moved away for a few years in 2016-2019, but once she returned to New Mexico, she immediately reached out to the ranch to get back involved. Nicole joined the board in October 2021, served as Secretary for the board, and became Vice President in 2026. She also serves as an administrator with the State of New Mexico.
