The University of Maryland Horse Barn has two baby horses who live with their parents in the end stables of the barn. Here, one pokes its head out to watch two horses roam the pasture.
Here, one baby horse is escorted in with the adult horses it shares a stable with. The UMD Equine Program is in charge of caring for the horses, while the equestrian club helps around the barn.
In the stables, horses are given bags of feed and hay to eat throughout the day. The signs hung on the stable doors read "Horses see your fingers as carrots: NO FEEDING"
The stable doors each have a chart of information on the horses inside and a hanger for equipment. This stall belongs to UMD horse, Clifford.
Here, an equine student helps place a baby horse in its stall. When the babies are in the barn, they are often surrounded by students of all majors taking photos.
Both baby horses are much smaller than the others in the barn. This horse can be seen trying to lift its head over the doors to get a glimpse of the students and other horses.
Signs surround the horse pasture warning students not to touch or feed the animals. These horses are regularly in the outdoor pasture roaming in the sun.
The horses are sometimes ridden by members of the UMD equestrian club. Horses Clifford (pictured here) and Quinn are used for riding lessons for the club.
The babies are more curious than the adult horses and can be seen getting into trouble. This horse spent time chewing on a tarp between stalls.
Some UMD horses are more friendly than others. Clifford (pictured) and Quinn are the most social, while the adult horses paired with babies are more protective over their space.
