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.

Democratic Advocate, July 23, 1898: A narrow escape in buggy mishap
Democratic Advocate, July 23, 1898.
Finding that he could not get through the fence the horse suddenly wheeled and ran towards Mr. Abbott's horse. The horse acted as if mad.
Mr. Rill was thrown out and the buggy was smashed to pieces. Mr. Abbott turned his buggy aside to render aid, when Mr. Rill's horse bore down upon Mr. Abbott's horse and buggy.
It was a trying moment for him, as his own horse became frightened and began to jump. The loose horse dashed by, however, barely grazing him, but part of the trapping struck him, injuring the lower part of his right leg.
When Mr. Rill's buggy was demolished he was thrown a considerable distance, and for this reason was uninjured, except being shaken up to a great extent.

When 'breaking news' was all about horse and buggy accidents
February 4, 2009
Eagle Archives By Kevin Dayhoff Posted on http://www.explorecarroll.com/ 2/01/09
More than 100 years ago, horse and buggy accidents were a staple of the "breaking news" diet of local newspapers.
One example occurred Feb. 1, 1896, when the now out-of-print American Sentinel carried a brief about a horse and buggy accident involving a mail carrier. Under the heading of "Taneytown Items," the paper reported:
"On last Monday afternoon when Mr. John Shriner, who carries the mail from this place to Harney, was leaving for home, his horse became frightened and, in some way, fell to the ground, breaking one shaft off his cart. When the animal regained his feet the broken shaft struck him on the heels causing him to run away.
"After he had run some distance the cart was upset and threw Mr. Shriner to the ground with great force. He was dragged some distance and finally delivered from his dangerous position by the horse getting loose from the cart, which was badly wrecked.
"Mr. Shriner was badly bruised and scarred, and has not been able to attend to his duties since the accident, but is now slowly improving and will soon be carrying the mail again."
So let me get this straight. Neither rain nor sleet nor snow are problems for postal carriers, but apparently being dragged by a horse is?
Years ago, Jay Graybeal wrote a column for the Historical Society of Carroll County about a number of horse and buggy accidents that were reported in the May 19, 1893, edition of the defunct Democratic Advocate. Apparently roaming farm animals were involved in several mishaps.
"Mr. Jesse Long, living near Tannery, was thrown from a wagon last Sunday evening. He was returning from Tannery Station, driving a young horse to a small wagon, when the bridle came off the animal's head. The horse started to run, and running against a cow in the road, upset the wagon and threw Mr. Long out. ... Dr. W. K. Fringer rendered medical services."
"On Monday morning as Mr. Wm. Burgoon, of Bachman's Valley, and his son were on their way to this city, the horse became frightened at a goat and ran off a bridge near the residence of Mr. Jacob Zacharias, on the Littlestown pike, and fell a distance of 14 feet down into a gully. Mr. Burgoon had a leg bruised, his son received a small cut near the eye, the carriage top was smashed and the harness broken."
Let that be a lesson. Don't let a horse get your goat ... or your cow.

20060603 KDDC Maryland Equestrian Special Olympics
June 3, 2006
Caroline and spent the day at the Prince George's Equestrian Center in Upper Marlboro, Maryland volunteering with the 4-H Therapeutic Riding Program of Carroll County at the Maryland Equestrian Special Olympics.
Unfortunately, I did not take my camera, so I drew a few pictures of the event. Please enjoy them above.
According to the Special Olympics Maryland Web-site:
"Equestrian sports events have been a part of Special Olympics since 1983, when the first competition was held in Louisiana, USA. At the 1987 World Games, 38 athletes competed in the equestrian competition, and one year later the sport was added to the official program of Special Olympics Sports . At the 1991 World Games, 140 athletes competed in this event, and in 1995 the number of athletes rose to over 200, representing 33 countries. Events Special Olympics athletes who compete in the equestrian events learn to ride, develop sports skills and gain the self confidence to direct and control a horse. Athletes are able to compete in a variety of English and Western style events, including relays, drill teams and prix caprilli (jumping events). "
If you are asking, "What is Special Olympics?"; according to the Special Olympics Web-site:
"Special Olympics is an international organization that changes lives by promoting understanding, acceptance and inclusion between people with and without intellectual disabilities. Through year-round sports training and athletic competition and other related programming for more than 2.25 million children and adults with intellectual disabilities in more than 150 countries, Special Olympics has created a model community that celebrates people’s diverse gifts. Founded in 1968 by Eunice Kennedy Shriver, Special Olympics provides people with intellectual disabilities continuing opportunities to realize their potential, develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage and experience joy and friendship. There is no cost to participate in Special Olympics."
