In honor of Veteran's Day, our photo of the week is of the Caisson Platoon at the 2010 Washington International Horse Show (photo by Diana DeRosa from the WIHS archives)
On the 11th day of the 11 month at the 11th hour, the guns fell silent on the battlefields of Europe, ending the terrible conflagration that was World War 1. Today we honor and thank all our veterans, human and horse. This photo is of 650 cavalry officers and enlisted men of the Auxiliary Remount Depot #326, Camp Cody, NM, posing to represent Maj. Frank G. Brewer’s horse The Devil.

Thank you to all the first responders! Glad to hear mom and foal are doing OK.Not your normal dispatched call for service, but always happy to support our community, especially with a safe and happy conclusion.
Company 12 units were alerted just before 4pm to assist our neighbors on Spielman Rd. with a horse in distress. Crews arrived on scene to find a pregnant horse in labor that had fallen inside a trailer and was positioned in a way that she couldn’t get up or out due to her front legs being caught. Members assisted by securing ropes around the horses rear legs and used good old manpower to pull her out of the trailer without further injury. An on scene veterinarian and staff assisted with securing mom into the barn for further care.
Mom is in “stable” condition and the foal is being monitored.
Thanks to all that assisted!

(First appeared in the June 2018 issue of The Equiery) What do you get when you take 90 days + 47 Senators + 141 Delegates + 3,101 Bills? You get the 2018 Maryland legislative session! The Maryland General Assembly convened on Wed. Jan. 10 and adjourned on Monday, April 9 – three months of nail biting high drama! It is not easy to pass legislation, and barely 28% of this year’s bills made it through the process; the system is intentionally deliberative – and that is a good thing, as it...-
