The History of LOMH
The League of Maryland Horsemen, established on June 21, 1950, rapidly expanded within 18 months from a small group of horse enthusiasts to nearly a hundred members. Today, boasting a membership of over 700 individuals, the League continues its growth trajectory.
The founders developed four objectives for the League:
Enhancing standards across various aspects of horse care, including breeding, feeding, stabling, training, riding, driving, showing, and judging.
Disseminating horse-related information through lectures, motion pictures, and publications.
Fostering understanding, cooperation, and camaraderie among horse enthusiasts.
Improving bridle paths throughout Maryland.
An official seal was designed to represent the League's interests in English and Western horses, various gaited horse types, and the promotion of equine knowledge.
Initially headquartered at Wakefield, the estate of Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm B. Tebbs, the club convened for regular meetings and social events. In the early 1980s, the club relocated to its current site at 8067 Henryton Road near McKelden Park in Marriottsville, Maryland. Initially housed in a mobile home, the club erected a modern clubhouse in 1986 to accommodate its expanding membership.
Our latest improvement was to have a new roof installed on the clubhouse and outbuildings. Member volunteers help to maintain the clubhouse and grounds and make improvements, as they did to upgrade our electric amperage to 30 amp throughout the campground.
