Erica Kritt, Times Staff Writer

The 2010 Carroll Horse Expo runs the gamut, from not-yet riders to people who have had horses all their lives.

"It's the whole range of the horse world," said Caroline Babylon, an Ag board member.

Saturday was the first day of the second annual Carroll Horse Expo at the Carroll County Agriculture Center in Westminster. The event continues today.

Babylon said there were people taking advantage of the lectures and demonstrations and parents who brought their children just to see some horses.

CARROLL COUNTY AG CENTER TO PRESENT: Carroll County Horse Fair & EXPO! March 21 & 22, 2009

Westminster, MD - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE. To satisfy the growing demand for useful information needed by small farm and individual horse owners, backyard and weekend riders and owners, horse-related clubs and beginner and intermediate English and Western riders – the Carroll County Ag Center will hold the Carroll County Horse Fair & EXPO!, March 21 & 22, 2009 in the beautiful Shipley Arena. The entire event with the exception of several clinics will take place 'under the same roof'!

Expanding on the popular "HORSE FAIR" event operated for 13 years by the 4-H Therapeutic Riding Program of Carroll County – the EXPO! has expanded to provide practical knowledge for the average horse owner. In addition to the educational component, the EXPO! also includes a trade show with over 100 vendors displaying the latest and greatest in equine products and services. New and used tack and supplies will also be available at the TRP 'Clover Corral' at very reasonable prices.

'Hands-on' demonstrations and clinics will operate during all hours of the EXPO! and will answer questions such as: What do you do if your horse comes in from the field lame? How do you treat an abscess in a hoof? What vaccinations should my horse be getting? Do you think my saddle is the reason my horse is bucking? How do I get my horse on the trailer? In addition, nationally- known clinicians Scott Purdum and Kenny Harlow will both be presenting on Saturday and Sunday and will be available afterwards to answer any questions you may have.

Admission is $5 for those eight years of age and older. And, as an extra bonus – we have arranged with the J Bar W Ranch to offer EXPO! attendees a 'combo-pass' which allows them to attend both the EXPO! on Saturday and then the popular "Battle of the Beast": bull-riding show Saturday night. The combo-pass is offered at $20 for adults and $15 for children 8 to 12 for both events.

The EXPO! is the major, annual fund-raiser for both the Carroll County Ag Center and 4-H Therapeutic Riding Program of Carroll County - both 501(c)3 organizations. Profits from the EXPO! will help fund the many unique and worthwhile events and programs provided by both The Carroll County Agriculture Center and the 4-H Therapeutic Riding Program of Carroll County. All of us at the EXPO! are excited about the opportunity for horse lovers in and around Carroll County to have a show of this caliber here at home. We hope to see you there!

FOR MORE INFORMATION, EXPO! DEMONSTRATION AND CLINIC SCHEDULES AND A LIST OF SHOW VENDORS, GO TO www.carrollhorseexpo.com or call 443-621-0274.

THERAPEUTIC RIDING PROGRAM LOSES BARN, RIDING EQUIPMENT TO FIRE

Fairfax, VA – July 20, 2007 – The Northern Virginia Therapeutic Riding Program (NVTRP), a nonprofit organization located in Fairfax, VA, lost its barn and all riding equipment due to a barn fire on Thursday night.

The fire occurred sometime between 9:00 and 10:00 p.m. No people or animals were seriously injured in the fire. At this time the cause is still undetermined. Lessons have temporarily been suspended.

According to Breeana Bornhorst, Program Director, “Of our 12 horses, Clancy was the only horse in the barn during the fire. Miraculously, he was able to kick out his stall door to escape.

Seven other horses were in an adjacent paddock at the time, but were able to break through a gate and into an adjoining field to get away from the intense smoke. We are extremely fortunate that our riders, staff and horses are doing well.”

NVTRP provides equine assisted activities to more than 60 children and adults with disabilities every week. It has operated in the Clifton community for 27 years and relies heavily on donations to provide therapeutic horseback riding lessons. “The fire has delivered a big hit to our program, but we are determined to persevere.

We are reaching out to the local community to help us get the program up and running again without delay,” said Rhonda VanLowe, NVTRP Chair, Board of Governors. “We are assessing the situation and may need to find a new location to operate. We will also have to replace all of the tack, equipment, equine medications and feed we lost in the fire. We are asking for the community to help us get back on our feet so that our riders are able to get back on the horses as soon as possible. Anything will help.”

Lessons are a major contributor to the riders’ overall mental and physical health. “I’ve seen what a difference this program can make. Since he started riding with the program, my son has gained a better sense of balance, is more confident getting around, and more enthusiastic about being around others,” said Tootie Rivera, parent and board member. “It would be tragic if our riders were unable to ride. For many of them it’s their one opportunity to get out on their own and feel free.”

To donate or for more information, visit http://www.nvtrp.org or contact Breeana Bornhorst at 703-867-1698.

20070319 African orphans make special visit

Mar 19, 2007 3:00 AM
by Kelsey Volkmann , The Examiner

Bel Air, Md. - They watched Disney on Ice, shopped at a mall and rode escalators for the first time.

Maryland, after all, is far away from the girls’ home in Namibia, Africa the Children of Mount Zion Village, an orphanage established by Mount Zion United Methodist Church in Bel Air and still operating thanks to donations and volunteers from churches throughout the state.

“It’s a lot for them to take in,” said Sarah Dorrance, a seminary student and missionary advocate at Calvary United Methodist Church in Mount Airy, one of the orphanage’s sponsors.

20061213 CC 1995 Miss 4-H takes on another leadership position


Pictured above is Miss 4-H, Amanda Boyd Miller in 1995 when she was the 4-H ambassador and spokesperson in 1995.

Meanwhile, Heidi Schroeder writing for the Westminster Eagle and Eldersburg Eagle has an excellent article in the Eldersburg Eagle about Carroll County’s 1995 Miss 4-H taking on yet another leadership position, “Trip from Annapolis to Carroll is a homecoming.”

The
Eldersburg Eagle and Westminster Eagle’s hyperlink changes when it is archived. So if you are reading this post at a later date and the link is dead, e-mail me or put a note in “comment” and I will paste the entire article into this post.

Also keep in mind that the
Westminster Eagle will run the piece next Wednesday, December 20th, 2006.

For right now, go here for Ms. Schroeder’s article, “

Trip from Annapolis to Carroll is a homecoming” By Heidi Schroeder, Westminster and Eldersburg Eagle, 12/13/06

After nearly seven years working in Annapolis, Amanda Miller's new job is more of a homecoming than an experiment.

Miller, 27, a sixth-generation Carroll Countian and resident of Sykesville, was named this month as special assistant to newly-elected County Commissioner Michael Zimmer.

Miller previously served the state as a special assistant on policy to Joe Getty, who served on Gov. Robert Ehrlich's staff.

But when the election brought a changing of the guard in both Annapolis and Carroll County, a new opportunity emerged for Miller, who said she's excited to bring experience in state politics to Westminster.

[…]

… Miller bought her grandmother's home, which her grandfather had built in Sykesville in 1958.
