Interesting Virginia/D.C. Facts  

In D.C., all taxicabs must carry a broom and shovel – a leftover from the days of the horse-drawn cab. 

D.C. bans fishing from horseback. HUHHH??? 

Norfolk says that horses aren’t allowed in the Chesapeake Bay. 

Norfolk also says it’s against the law to feed your horse on a city street.

SECOND ANNUAL OPRC LUNCHEON

CAPITOL CHALLENGE HORSE SHOW

UPPER MARLBORO, MD

SATURDAY, 27TH OF SEPTEMBER

 

This will be our second annual luncheon. Last year we all went to the Pa. National Show in Harrisburg. The jumper classic that evening was very exciting with many big name show jumpers participating. Before the horse show events began, we had a great opportunity to gather for a lovely lunch, meet new members, and exchange some ideas about our club. Most of us stayed for the show and, of course, the shopping!! AH – don’t forget the shopping. It’s a short drive from here so I hope you will all consider coming out for this event
