4 Your guide to everything horse-related in So. Maryland!
Welcome to the fourth edition of the So. Maryland, So Good Equine Guide for Southern Maryland, a publication of the Southern Maryland Agricultural Development Commission (SMADC).
This unique guide highlights Southern Maryland’s thriving equine community and brings together resources for equine farms and horse owners, as well as information for those who are experiencing the world of horses for the first time. Listings include horse farms and stables in Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles, Prince George’s and St. Mary’s counties where you can ride, touch, watch and otherwise interact with horses. It also includes sites offering lesson and training programs, regional hay and feed producers, vets, farriers, tack shops, equestrian trails and more.
What is SMADC? SMADC is a visionary and guiding force shaping the future of farms and food in Southern Maryland. Thriving, market-driven farms play a powerful and integral role in improving the health and quality of life of our community, in ending childhood obesity, and in protecting the quality of our air and of our cherished Chesapeake Bay. SMADC is committed to providing resources to our area’s farms, educating consumers on the importance of supporting local agriculture, enhancing the connections between farms and healthy communities, and preserving farmland in our region. To learn more about SMADC’s programs, visit www.smadc.com. Did you know? The equine industry is a thriving component of Southern Maryland’s agricultural com- munity and contributes significantly to the region’s economy.
According to the Maryland Horse Industry Board (MHIB) 2010 Census, there are ap- proximately 17,000 horses, over 30,000 acres and more than 3,000 places dedicated specifically to equine endeavors in the region.
*What do the asterisks mean? Throughout the first section of the directory (Stables – Listings by County), an asterisk indicates a stable licensed by the Maryland Horse Industry Board (MHIB). Not all equine operations are required to be licensed. To learn more, visit the MHIB website at mda.maryland.gov/horseboard.
Horse Discovery Centers The Maryland Horse Industry Board has designated these carefully selected stables as sites where visitors of all ages and experience levels can interact with horses and learn about them in a safe, knowledgeable and friendly environment. See page 9 for more information.
