BALTIMORE, MD. (Thursday, December 15, 2005) The Maryland Stadium Authority today released a rendering of the site plan for the proposed Maryland Horse Park in Gambrills, Maryland. The rendering, prepared by Gralla Architects, designers of the world’s top equestrian facilities, depicts a range of the park’s features including a restoration of the centuries-old Navy dairy farm (to be utilized as an educational center), a steeplechase and cross country course, an indoor equestrian arena, more than 800 stalls, show rings, a visitors center and museum and an environmentally friendly parking area. “We are hopeful that this rendering will be helpful to members of the Maryland General Assembly, neighbors of the proposed horse park and members of the equestrian community in visualizing the beauty and benefits of this project,” said Alison L. Asti, Executive Director of the Stadium Authority. “The site plan rendering certainly depicts clearly the amount of open space planned for the facility,” she added. The Maryland Stadium Authority currently is overseeing a feasibility study of the horse park to determine if the Gambrills, Maryland site is well suited. Stewart Pittman, owner of a 550-acre farm in Davidsonville, professional trainer, breeder and a long listed rider for the U.S. Equestrian Team, said, “This is no ordinary horse park. This is better than anything that exists in this country, I’m sure.” ### CONTACT: Alison L. Asti
