Watch for Black Widows

Keep an eye out in your barns this time of year for Black Widow spiders - we've seen several in our barn in Caroline County. They're generally reclusive and stay hidden, but their bite is nasty!

Invitation to Caroline County Maryland horse people


Happy Spring!

I invite any of Caroline County horse people - whether barn owners, horse owners, riders, or general horse enthusiasts - to send along to me any announcements about local events and happenings here. Also please let us know about any legal or political concerns which affect horses and horse ownership in our area. You can follow these announcements by email by signing up in the right-hand column.

While I don't reside in Caroline County, our horses are boarded there so I'm in the county nearly every day!

On May 5, Horses in Harmony in Preston, MD is planning a dressage show organized by PVDA Bayside Chapter. We plan to bring my OTTB mare Briar Rose to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Secretariat's Kentucky Derby win - her great-granddaddy on both sides! We may also bring my kids' new pony Belle Nuit. The season is gearing up and we have shows or other equestrian events penciled in on our calendar nearly every upcoming weekend.

See you at the shows!
