Wyndham Oaks II Horse Farm in Montgomery County, Maryland
The mane of horse named Chardy blows in the wind while it eats grass on a pasture at Wyndham Oaks II horse farm in Boyds, Md., on July 15, 2025. In 2024, the farm won the local and state Soil Conservation Service awards for its soil and water conservation practices. Wyndham Oaks II houses approximately 30 horses that are in the various stages of retirement and utilizes their manure as a natural fertilizer to add nutrients to the soil. “We are very much driven by the data,” said Lori Larson, owner of Wyndham Oaks II. “We pull soil samples to make sure we understand what is in the ground and what it needs.” (Photo by Charlie Nick/Chesapeake Bay Program)
