Think you missed one.
Ask Arky... or Paso... or anyone else in the Horsey forum.
St. Mary's County - Horses are regulated by our zoning ordinance only with respect to their shelter. A private stable is described as an accessory structure, not related to the ordinary operation of a farm, for housing hoofed animals (CZO Schedule 50.4 Use Type 123).
A private stable is a permitted accessory use in the RPD, RSC, RL-T, RNC, VMX, and TMX zoning districts (same reference as above).
