rides are being pro- posed for tourists dur- ing the off season in Ocean City. Randy Da- vis of R & B Ranch is seeking approval from the Ocean City mayor and City Council to conduct horse and car-
riage rides in downtown Ocean City, including on the Boardwalk’s concrete tram lane, from fall through spring weekends. T e rides will start at the Inlet Parking Lot and move north on Baltimore Avenue, turn east at N. Division Street and ride south along the Boardwalk back to the Inlet around the pier. T e proposal must obtain approval to use Baltimore Avenue from the State Highway
Administration. Off -season events currently scheduled may interfere with the tram stops. “One other thing you need to realize is this is the year we are rebuilding that section of the Boardwalk…there may be some instances where access to the tram lane may be a little bit diff erent in spots,” Mayor Rick Meehan told T e Dispatch.
Happy Mouth, Not So Happy
Happy Mouth bit manufacturer English Rid- ing Supply has recalled roughly 3,400 Happy Mouth Wire Mouth bits. Consumers have been asked to immediately stop using these bits according to an alert from the U.S. Con- sumer Product Safety Commission.

It has been reported that this inadequate design resulted in loss of control of the horse and possible falls. T e model numbers recalled include,
462172SS, 462177SS, 462181SS, 462184SS, 464123SS,
466898SS, 466904SS, and
467248SS. T ese numbers can be found on the product label. Customers can return the bits to the retailer where purchased or return the bits directly to English Riding Supply for a refund.
