Beverly Raymond’s Equine Network, continued
ficials on the national level. Everyone would get connected through Beverly for the greater good of the horses she looked over. “I got to know a lot of officials on a first name basis and this was very helpful for inspecting stables,” Beverly said. She explained that if a farm was having a drainage problem, she would put them in touch with the right people to help fix it. If a farm was struggling with care issues, she would put them in touch with humane of- ficials to help work through things. “I think I just came across as sincere when I saw an issue and this really made a difference,” she said. “I feel like I’m a problem solver.” Tis is the power of Beverly; she connects

Retired But Not Forgotten When Beverly officially retired in 2010,
after 32 years as the state’s stable inspec- tor, her first inclination was to stay home and just focus on Orwell. “I seriously slept for a year,” she said laughing. Beverly pulled herself off all the vari-

She has become very active in MHIB’s Horse Discovery Center program. “Tey are just such a great group of people,” Beverly re- marked. “You know, we have these meetings together and everyone is so supportive. Tey all trade ideas and invite each other to their farms. It is just a pleasure to be a part of it all.” Here again, Beverly’s equine network contin- ues to expand!
Beverly has reconnected with her love of art now that she is “retired.” These are just a few of her oils.
