Maryland Monday -- Horse Country

Happy Maryland Monday!!

One of my favorite drives is the drive through Reisterstown, MD. We often take this drive wile on the way to Timonium, MD… where we often go for shows, whether it’s the Atlantic National or our State Fair- I love the drive everytime.

This is the heart of Maryland’s Horse country. It feels like you are driving through Lexington, KY. Your head is constantly turning and marveling at the huge mansions, empty pastures that were built for horses that are too good to go outside, and the ‘old time’ equestrians who have older fences, and jumps in the middle of the field.

This is also the drive where you see Cal Ripken’s home front gate and security cameras. If anyone doesn’t know who I’m talking about, Cal Ripken Jr. played for the Baltimore Orioles and is one of their greatest players. Go #8!

Here is a pic of his house before he surrounded it with trees. His front gate is to the right.

So maybe next time you are in Maryland, you’ll take a little detour and visit this nostalgic area.

Your Marylander,

Taylor
