Maryland Horse Council

Horse Person of the Year


In Memory ...

Maryland Horse Council 2008 Horseman of the Year, Mark Harrison passed away recently. Mark and his chestnut TWH Amanda were always a favorite in the show ring and in the first few years of the Maryland Horse EXPO. His stories of training and serving in the real US Cavalry during World War II would keep you captivated. Mark mentored many of us as we entered the fun world of Tennessee Walking Horses and was honored as Maryland Horseman of the Year. He and Jan also helped the first group of Girl Scouts earn their TWHBEA Scouting the Trail Patch at the Harford County Girl Scout EXPO a number of years ago. Please keep his lovely wife Jan and their family in your prayers. Mark will be missed by so many. Rest in peace our dear old friend.
