On June 15, 1945, a newspaper reported that the Westminster Riding Club presented the Carroll County War Memorial Fund Committee a check in the amount of $130.36.It was a fine gesture on the part of the club. According to the article in the now-defunct Democratic Advocate, the money was raised from the proceeds from the Carroll County Spring Horse Show, sponsored by the club in May.
When many folks think of the Westminster Riding Club, the first thing that often comes to mind is the swimming pool or memories of a social occasion held at the "club house" banquet hall.
However, this prominent Carroll County organization -- located on North Colonial Avenue on the old William Reese, F. Yingling and F.A. Sharren properties in Westminster -- actually has its roots in horses, just as the name implies.
The grounds of the club were once the location of a riding arena -- the focal point of the club's social and equestrian activities.

The 2010 Carroll Horse Expo runs the gamut, from not-yet riders to people who have had horses all their lives.
"It's the whole range of the horse world," said Caroline Babylon, an Ag board member.
Saturday was the first day of the second annual Carroll Horse Expo at the Carroll County Agriculture Center in Westminster. The event continues today.
Babylon said there were people taking advantage of the lectures and demonstrations and parents who brought their children just to see some horses.

DAYHOFF: In the 1800s, residents endured a real storm of the century

Everyone has a story of driving a car in the middle of a snowstorm, but can you imagine attempting to negotiate the snow in horse and buggy days?
On Feb. 15, 1896, the now out-of-print Westminster newspaper, American Sentinel, carried a snow-related horror story involving "Thomas Martin, who was hauling grain to this place and was returning home, stopped at the post office for his mail, leaving his team standing.
"He was talking to some person when some snow fell from the roof of Mr. T. H. Eckenrode's house, frightening the horses. ...
"He endeavored to check them, but the rein ... broke, throwing him under the wheels of the wagon, which passed over his body, breaking three of his ribs and puncturing one of his lungs."
Of course, this was in the days long before the local volunteer fire departments provided emergency medical services.
"Mr. Martin was at once taken into the drug store of Mr. John McKellip…

A tight city budget is threatening the historic Baltimore Police Mounted Patrol Unit, which needs $150,000 to stay open.
At the crack of dawn Thursday morning, Mike Schuh met with Police Commissioner Frederick Bealefeld to give an exclusive look at how a 9-year-old girl stepped up to help.
Thursday will be a day third grader Sophia Litrenta will always remember. But it's what she's done that will be remembered by many.
Sophia set up a lemonade stand to raise money for Baltimore City's Mounted Police.
[…]
Sophia took in more than $2,000 in just two hours at her lemonade stand.
[…]
The Mounted Patrol Unit is the longest continuously-running unit in the entire country. It has been in action since 1888.
Sophia's parents say they will continue to collect money and turn all the donations over to police.
