We know your weekends are busy, but if you have time to spare on June 8, the Retreat at Beckleysville will be hosting riders from Baltimore, Carroll & Cecil Counties for equestrian Special Olympics in equitation, dressage and trail, and they would welcome spectators to cheer on the athletes. The parade of athletes begins at 9 am. The Retreat at Beckleysville is at 4224 Beckleysville Road, Hampstead, MD.

Maryland Special Olympics no longer sponsors statewide Equestrian sports, so it's even more important to give these riders the support they deserve.
