Horses
are an important part of Maryland's agriculture, both from an economic
and rural heritage perspective. Maryland
ranks #1 in the U.S. for the number of horses per square mile with an
estimated 153,000 horses (American Horse Council, 2005). Maryland Cooperative
Extension (MCE) has many excellent educational opportunities to help
members of our expanding horse industry to improve the care and performance
of their horses. Check out our exciting equine educational programs
