ONE COMMON BOND - THE HORSE ONE COMMON VOICE - MARYLAND HORSE COUNCIL MAY 2017 MHC UPDATE
WWW.MDHORSECOUNCIL.ORG President’s Letter Jane Seigler T is is my fi nal letter as President of the Maryland Horse Coun-
cil. On July 1, Neil Agate will assume the duties of President, joined by Steuart Pittman as Vice President, Ahesahmahk Dahn as Sec- retary, and Clarissa Coughlin as Treasurer. T is is an incredibly strong and talented team, and I have no doubt that they will serve MHC ably and well. I am so very grateful for the opportunity to have served this great
organization, for the people I have met, the things I have learned, and the chance to see, experience, and learn about the in-credibly diverse aspects of the our horse industry and equestrian community. T is is surely a very exciting time. With the aid of our tireless
and dedicated volunteers and our professional administrative staff , and with lobbying assistance from the inimitable Frank Boston, the Horse Council has grown to be strong, solid, powerful, eff ec- tive and respected–truly worthy as the representative of our $1.15 billion dollar a year industry. Now we are engaged in the next big step in the trajectory of our mission. Elsewhere in this report, you will read about our historic push for growth–our Go Pro initiative. I hope I can count on your support to help us reach our goal and take our great organization to the next level of service and support. On June 30, I’ll be riding off into the sunset. Until then I look
forward to seeing you at our Quarterly meeting on May 9 at Prince Georges Equestrian Center, and at the MHC Day at the Races on June 10th–Belmont Day, the last Jewel in the Triple Crown–at the beautiful, newly renovated Laurel Park Racetrack. Join us for track tours, great speakers, great food, live racing, and fi nish the day with live feed from New York of the Belmont Stakes–watch for details!
