Nancy Taylor has been involved with horses on and off throughout her
 entire life.  Growing up she lived in Baltimore City, but she found solace
 riding at a community riding facility near her house. After the community
 stable closed she found another stable that offered structured English
 lessons.  She continued riding there for several years.
 
    When Nancy was 16 her passion grew in California. She spent three 
 summers living with her aunt and taking care of their horses. She learned
 to ride western, she competed often, and she even took up barrel racing.
 
    Unfortunately, riding got put on hold while Nancy completed her college
 degree and started a family. Nancy obtained a Bachelors of Science Degree
 in Pharmacy. She has worked at the same Pharmacy since 1980 and has
 managed it since 1984. She brings a vast array of medical knowledge and
 managerial know how to the rescue.
 
    She had no choice but to begin riding again when Alyssa got her first pony.
 "I couldn't just watch while she took lessons, I wanted to take lessons too.
 It made me remember how much I missed horses being a part of my life."
 Nancy recalls fondly. Nancy got her first horse when she was 39. Although she
 wishes she'd have gotten one sooner, she admits that it was well worth the wait.
 
    Now by starting the rescue, Nancy wants to give something back to the
 animals that have given her so much. When asked why the rescue is important
 to her, Nancy explains,  "Horses have enriched my life, now I want to do
 something to help them."
