Troutman
Dorothy Troutman is considered by many to be
a quiet but vital force within the Maryland horse industry.
She is the founder and president of the Maryland Equestrian
Foundation, which had an integral role in the creation of the Rosaryville Conservancy and the Marlborough Horse Trials.
She is a director for the Maryland Association for
the Preservation of Equestrian Sports and a member of the Citizens Advisory
Committee for the Prince George's Equestrian Center.
Vision for MHIB: Through her work with the Prince George's County Council
and the Park and Planning Board, Mrs. Troutman works tirelessly to protect open
spaces and trails for equestrian use, and to provide facilities for showing and
eventing. At the core of Mrs. Troutman's efforts is
her conviction that the horse industry and equestrian events are assets not
only to Prince George's County, but
also to the entire State. Through the Maryland Horse Industry Board, Dorothy
wants to increase the awareness of the number of horses in the State of
Maryland and the tradition of horses here, the importance of these horses to
the state's economy and image, and the value of the horse and the industry to
the state. By increasing this awareness, the Board can promote horses in the
State; provide facilities, trails and open space for riding and enjoyment;
educate the public on all aspects of the Maryland horse industry; support, and
protect horse owners, horses and the related businesses; and help meet their
requirements and needs.
