The Secret Lives of Maryland Horse People What they do when they are not doing horses!


Tim Streaker: Treasurer Hunter Although he purchased his fi rst metal detector in 2004, he


didn’t get serious with it until about 2013––and now Howard County’s Tim Streaker is the president of the Maryland Arti- fact Recovery Society. Does it somehow make sense that a farrier would end up being a metal detector? “My best fi nd would have to be the sterling silver shoe buckle


from silversmiths Joseph and Nathaniel Richardson, approxi- mately 1770; there is a matching pair in the Philadelphia Mu- seum of Art. My oldest silver coin is a Spanish reales 1775. My most desired bucket-list coin would be an early silver U.S. coin; we only made them from the 1790s for about 10 years. “My most surprising and odd fi nd would be a Chinese penny, which must have been dropped by an immigrant. “Several years ago, metal detecting on Sanibel Beach, I found


a black-encrusted Spanish silver coin from the 1600s, real pirate treasure! I was over the moon! For weeks I worked at cleaning it, until I cleaned it so well - a beautiful Spanish coin! I should not have cleaned it that well. On the bottom, it said “copy.” T e beach novelty shop was selling them for six bucks.


Marla Stoner Goes to the Dogs When Montgomery County dressage rid- er Marla Stoner needs to get away from her duties as co-chair of the PVDA Sugarloaf Mountain Chapter, she goes to the dogs. “My 20-month-old ‘puppy,’ Eagletarn Mis- tral Wind RN CGC (“T rill”),


is shown


here winning a Hat Trick award at this year’s Flat-Coated Retriever Society of America (FCRSA) National Specialty, May 16-19 in Clymer, NY. To win a Hat Trick award, the dog had to qualify/place in three of the fi ve venues. T rill qualifi ed in Beginner Novice Obedience for his second leg, and qualifi ed in Rally Novice for his third leg which gave him the RN title and he placed second in his con- formation class. I’m very proud of my puppy!”


Allie Listrani Panetta: Singing T e Body Electric When she is not training horses


or riders out of her family’s Wal- nut Pond Farm in Montgomery County, she is getting trained herself in voice, vocal and singing - these days, jazz. “I have been singing my entire


life. I enjoy singing the anthem at some of the big shows. Sing- ing keeps when sane when horses make me crazy.”


Do you have a passion out- side of horses?
