Travis Gorleski , the equine specialist with the Montgomery Soil Conservation District , made frequent visits to Wyndham Oaks ii for the documentation of the fencing layout and costs . The cost-share plan was based on the actual board fence used which is carefully measured and recorded .
really does require a commitment to the animal . This means horseshoes , feed , hay , veterinary care , blankets , riding equipment , coaching , training , stall cleaning , pasture mowing , building repairs , treats and the myriad of horse products available in Maryland . Each horse is an economic engine that needs local services from farm machinery maintenance to veterinary care .
The scenic beauty of a wellmanaged horse farms also brings aesthetic value to a rural community . Not only do horses at Wyndham Oaks II benefit from its careful planning , but the beauty of its design is enjoyed by their owners , riders , farm visitors , and passersby as well .
