Colonial Period
Queen Mab and Spark were the first pair English-bred Thoroughbred horses imported to the Province of Maryland. Spark was given to Ogle by Frederick Calvert, 6th Baron Baltimore during Ogle's trip to England in 1740 and presented to Ogle by the Prince of Wales. These two horses established the Belair Stud legacy.
Later, Benjamin Tasker, Jr. brought Selima to Belair where she became a prominent producer.
