for several Olympic equestrian compe- titions. Raymond herself was awarded this
honor in 2011 when she retired from her position as state stable inspector. T e last Horse Person of the Year was awarded to Joe Kelly in 2012. MHC also awarded the Anne and
Gilbert Pumphrey Memorial “Unsung Hero” award annually. T e Pumphrey’s were heavily involved in the early years of MHC. Raymond once wrote, “Many early meetings were attended by only a handful of people. You could always count on the Pumphreys being there and lending credibility by their pres- ence.” In their honor, Dorothy Trout- man received the fi rst Pumphrey Memorial Award in 1998. Raymond was the second to receive the award. T e current board is looking to resurrect

made signifi cant strides to increase its voice in the Maryland horse community by acquiring T e Equiery and hiring an Executive Director in 2018. T e legislative committee is committed to working on behalf of all members and continues to show the industry’s strength in Annapolis. During this anniversary year, MHC has or-
ganized a campaign to double membership so that it can represent even more of our Maryland horse community. MHC plans signifi cant out- reach in both western Maryland and the Eastern shore where we currently see less engagement. Maryland boasts the largest number of horses
per square mile in the country. T e horse indus- try has a $2.1 billion economic impact on the state and provides 28,000 jobs. With over 200 equestrian organizations within Maryland, the Maryland Horse Council speaks with one voice. As former MHC president Rich Wilcke stated in the fi rst newsletter printed in T e Equiery (December 1991), “While there can be strength in numbers, it is true only if those numbers are united. We can more eff ectively achieve our goals with a stronger single voice.” As we head into the next 35 years of MHC, please consider adding your voice - helping MHC continue to unite horsemen and horse- women in one common bond and to speak on your behalf with one common voice.
Also in 1985...
In 1985, Ronald Reagan was starting his second term as U.S. President while First Lady Nancy Reagan was the Honorary Chairman of the 1985 Washington International Horse Show. Harry R. Hughes was the Governor of Maryland and the
Free State hosted eight USCTA-recognized horse trials.
