Teamwork makes the dream work. Country Life and Merryland benefit from the skilled horsemanship of a talented team of professionals. From the Foaling Barn at Country Life, where two-time Horse-of-the-Year CIGAR was born, to the 5/8th-mile Training Track at Merryland, where successions of stakes winners have trained, the staffs at our two historic farms are unmatched in Maryland.
