Some features include trip planning tools for signature horse venues and riding trails, finding licensed stables and organizations through their Horse Discovery Center program, discovering equine events across the state, accessing educational materials about the industry's impact on economy, environment, and culture, and staying updated on upcoming initiatives such as October Horse Month and the Preakness Festival Farm Tours.
