Tina Snyder prepares her horse, Baker Bean, for a training session. Snyder, who owns Safe Haven Farm in Sykesville, Maryland, credits Bean for her physical and mental rehabilitation after her trailer was T-boned by a snow plow going 60 miles per hour in December 2006. (U of MD Photo/Gena Chung)
Snyder leads Bean from the stable for a warm-up in the training circle. Snyder adopted Bean from a rescue farm after he was found abandoned and starving, weighing less than 300 pounds. He is training for his debut show in May 2010. (U of MD Photo/Gena Chung)
Using the whip, Snyder illustrates the trust that has formed between her and Bean, whom she calls her "best friend." "We think we're the ones saving them, when they're really saving us," Snyder said. (U of MD Photo/Gena Chung)
