The Southern Maryland Equine Guide includes only voluntary listings and is not intended to be an endorsement of any particular farm, service, or business. The guide was compiled with information from sources throughout the state and in

response to our inquiries. Horse businesses may or may not be licensed; please refer to Maryland Horse Industry Board for information or contact the business directly.

The Southern Maryland Agricultural Development Commission (SMADC) is a division of the non-profit Tri-County Council of Southern Maryland.

This booklet is produced by the Southern Maryland Agricultural Development Commission (SMADC).

It is provided as a means to assist and promote farmers and related businesses as Southern Maryland diversifies and transitions away from its tobacco-dependent economy.

The Southern Maryland Agricultural Development Commission is dedicated to the following mission:

“To promote diverse, market-driven agricultural enterprises,* which coupled with agricultural land preservation, will preserve

Southern Maryland’s environmental resources and rural character while keeping the region’s farmland productive and the agricultural

economy vibrant.”

*“Agricultural enterprises” is considered interchangeable with “natural resource based enterprises” and is broadly defined as tobacco-free sustainable agriculture, and includes forestry and aquatic resources and agriculturally related activities such as

agri-tourism and value-added processing.
