This booklet is produced by the Southern Maryland Agricultural
Development Commission (SMADC).
Through a layered and multifaceted strategy, SMADC seeks to

farmland productive and the agricultural economy vibrant.
SMADC’s mission is to develop and enhance a market-driven
and sustainable farming future.
SMADC’s goals are as follows:
1) thriving, market-driven farms that have the resources they
need to be profitable,
2) a Maryland where farmland preservation and environmental
stewardship positively impact the quality of our air and water and
protect one of our greatest assets, the Chesapeake Bay, and
3) a future where profitable farms play an integral role in the
health and quality of life of our community.

Your guide to everything horse-related in So. Maryland!
Welcome to the third edition of the So. Maryland, So Good Equine Guide for
Southern Maryland.
The equine guide, the first publication of its kind in Southern Maryland, highlights the
region’s growing equine community and brings together resources for established
farms as well as information for those who may be getting involved with horses for the
first time. Listings include a comprehensive, five-county directory of equine businesses
in Southern Maryland that offer a wide variety of horse-related activities, plus hay
producers, tack shops, farriers, vets and other equine support resources for horses,
their owners, equine businesses and budding horse enthusiasts.
What is So. Maryland, So Good?

So. Maryland, So Good is a campaign designed by SMADC to help
consumers identify true Southern Maryland products and buy
accordingly. By building a direct link between buyers and growers in
the five Southern Maryland counties and promoting the advantages
of buying local, SMADC hopes to help keep farming vibrant and
vital in Southern Maryland.
As a consumer, you have a unique opportunity to help preserve Southern
Maryland’s rural charm by supporting our local farms and waterways. Always look for the So.
Maryland, So Good logo at stores and restaurants and ask for Southern Maryland products
where you shop and dine. Visit www.smadc.com for more information on this and other
programs administered by SMADC.
Did you know?
• According to a recent survey* of 1,000 Maryland households,14.5 percent have
family members who ride or actively attend equestrian events, and nearly 50
percent have an interest in horse riding and other horse-related activities.
(*Maryland Policy Choices, Schaefer Center for Public Policy, 2012)
• The equine industry is a thriving component of Southern Maryland’s agricultural
community and contributes significantly to the region’s economy. According to the
Maryland Horse Industry Board (MHIB) 2010 Census, there are approximately
17,000 horses and over 30,000 acres and 3,000-plus equine places dedicated
specifically to equine endeavors in the region.
What do the asterisks mean?
Throughout the first section of the guide (Equine Establishments and Stables 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.
