What is the Equiery?

A Publication

Through our free monthly publication, horsemen can find all the information they need, from services to sales, from association information to trainers, from riding programs to breeding facilities. The publication offers several free services that Marylanders have come to depend upon, month in and month out:

  1. Riding & Boarding Stables: A comprehensive listing, organized by county, featuring every stable in Maryland that offers public programs is available online year round and in select print issues.
  2. Calendar of Events: Listing hundreds of events for the current & upcoming months. Featured in the March print issue and available online year round.
  3. Hay & Straw Directory: A vital resource for farm managers featuring anyone who sells hay or straw available online all year.

Our “Out & About Maryland” monthly column features news bits about local horse people. Monthly features explore and celebrate the diversity of horse activities within our area.

Above all, The Equiery is primarily an advertising circular, with the most complete and comprehensive array of choices and information in the state. You will not find more information on horse businesses in Maryland available anywhere. With its easy-to-read layout and comprehensive information, barn managers and horse owners find The Equiery a “must,” keeping it right by the phone as their essential reference source.

A Service

With our toll-free 800 number, The Equiery is Maryland’s “information warehouse.” If readers don’t find the information they need in an issue of The Equiery, they call us. We have helped callers find all sorts of services, such as farriers, manure removal, accreditation programs, special interest organizations, breed owners, stallions, tax and medical information, carriage services, rental stables, and much more.

Who uses The Equiery?

Everyone! Available in both print and digital formats, The Equiery appeals to everyone from the international professional to the amateur rider, from trainers to barn managers, from veterinarians to pleasure riders, competitors, lesson students, and even children.

The Equiery‘s readers range from combined training and dressage riders to hunter/jumpers and carriage drivers; from competitive trail riders to polo players; from foxhunters to jousters; from the well-established horse person with a stable full of horses to the enthusiastic beginner.

Equestrians moving into the area find our services extremely helpful in easing the transition for both them and their horses. Often referred to us by various national and local associations, the state government, real estate agents, tack shops, etc., we help these newcomers feel welcome to our state and help them settle in their horses.

How do you say “Equiery?”

We say “ek-wee-air-ee,” but we have heard “eek-wee-air-ee,” “ek-wary” and numerous other creative interpretations. So, we have a saying in the office: “We don’t care how you say it, just so long as you continue to say it!” Truth is, no matter how you say it, folks seem to know what you are talking about.

What does “Equiery” mean? Is it a real word?

 The base, “equi” is from the Latin for “horse.” The suffix “ery” is from the Latin “-arius” and has several meanings, including a collection of something and a place to buy or sell something.
