MD Horse Council
Unwanted Horse Project meeting held on 6/30/10 in Westminster; attended by Carolyn Garber. Approximately 30 people met under the leadership of Vicki Carson. This meeting was in part a follow-up to the session at the Maryland Horse Forum last August and in part a response to the American Horse Council’s effort to inform the federal government of what states are doing about the unwanted horse crisis. With the professional assistance of meeting facilitator Mary Sue McCarthy, the best ideas were drawn out. Many of the state’s most active rescues and advocates attended. An overview is being compiled and a second meeting will be held on Tuesday, August 3. Time and place to be announced. If you are interested in getting involved, contact Vicki Carson at Email.
