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.

Famous quotes containing the words colonial and/or period:
“Are you there, Africa with the bulging chest and oblong thigh? Sulking Africa, wrought of iron, in the fire, Africa of the millions of royal slaves, deported Africa, drifting continent, are you there? Slowly you vanish, you withdraw into the past, into the tales of castaways, colonial museums, the works of scholars.”
—Jean Genet (1910–1986)
“The post-office had a great charm at one period of our lives. When you have lived to my age, you will begin to think letters are never worth going through the rain for.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
