The Maryland
Horsemen's Party
Description:
Now
in its 25th year, the Maryland Horsemen's party serves as the
primary fundraiser for the Sallie Robertson Memorial 4-H Horse
Endowment Fund. Sallie Parlette Robertson was a native of Howard
County, a 4-H Alumna and owner of the famous Ship's Quarters
Farms in northern Carroll County. When Mrs. Robertson died in
1984, 4-H leaders from Carroll County and Howard County, who
had known her as a personal friend, started an endowment fund
with the Maryland 4-H Foundation in her memory. The goal of
the Sallie Robertson Memorial 4-H Endowment Fund is to support
4-H equine educational programs, and the annual trip for 4-Hers
representing Maryland at the Eastern National 4-H Horse Round
Up in the areas of horse judging, hippology, horse bowl, demonstrations
and public speaking. The fund may also provide scholarships
for 4-H volunteers and members to attend leadership conferences,
equine-related workshops and National 4-H Congress.
Recipients of the Maryland 4-H Horse Program Volunteer of the Year Award and the Maryland 4-H Youth Development Award will be honored at this event.
