As of July 1, 2008 any Maryland stable which operates as a boarding, sales/breeding, rental, instructional, rescue or training stable will require a license from the MHIB. Horse racing and Standardbred stables are exempt from this licensing requirement as they are under the jurisdiction of the Maryland Racing Commission.

To determine if your facility needs a license please review the General Regulations of the MHIB.
