up an MHC booth! “I’ve been involved with the Horse Council for around 16 years and I think that connection be- tween the park and the Horse Council is important,” he explained. “TEC cannot lobby. Neither can the [Maryland] Horse Industry Board. It’s through the Horse Council that the Eastern Shore horse community is heard.” Over the years, Royce has held several

In-between shows, the club organized various riding demonstra- tions to teach people about horses. “We had some really big crowds over the years and raised the funds we needed each year… ex- cept that one time a hurricane came through,” Royce added. Outlaw Days lasted for 13 years but started to decline as Royce had some health issues come up. “We tried to keep it going but I had to step back and the wheels fell off so to speak,” he said.

Te day includes a variety of demonstrations as well as food and shopping vendors. “Tis year we hope we are able to still hold it in October as scheduled,” Stacy said adding, “but with ev- erything going on with the coronavirus we just don’t know yet.” She did offer a sneak peek at this year’s new
