2024 Kent Island High School Field Trip!
We cannot imagine a better way to wrap up the school and begin Summer!! For the second year in a row, Talisman Therapeutic Riding opened its gates to the Kent Island High School Special Education Class for its final field trip. Everyone had a ton of fun as we played games, went on a scavenger hunt, painted a horse, and created crafts. We had the best time with this super cool group of young men and women!

THANK YOU to our Sponsors and Guests who made this year's Derby Day a huge success! Talisman Therapeutic Riding raised over $100,000 through the generous support of everyone who attended. In addition to enjoying the fabulous food, bourbon, craft beer, and wine, the Kentucky Derby race thrilled the crowd with a photo finish! The silent and live auctions brought about spirited bidding competition, which was all part of the fun in this annual fundraiser. Special thanks to Jon Shaw who exhibited eleven original paintings and donated 100% of the sale proceeds to Talisman!

Notifications were sent to winner bidders of our auction items via text and/or email. If you are a proud winner of a Silent Auction item and did not take it with you after the event, it is available after pickup at the Welcome Center. The Talisman staff is happy to assist with your pickup Monday - Friday, between 9:30AM - 5:00PM.

Thank you!

Happy Derby Day! 🐴🌹👒

Talisman Therapeutic Riding was thrilled to welcome the Operation Red Wings Foundation to the farm for a Heroes on Horses retreat! We welcomed veterans from all branches of the military. Talisman's herd showed us the importance of taking the time to breathe, have patience, and slow down to enjoy the little things in life. We are honored to serve those who have served our country and we are looking forward to the next retreat soon!

Are you a Dutton at heart? Whether you are a John, Casey, Rip … or Beth, this journey into the wilderness will undoubtedly change your life. Talisman Therapeutic Riding is partnering with Stetter Outfitters to provide a transformative experience in the Wind River Mountain Range of Wyoming. A journey of exploration – into the wilderness. This retreat is for all levels of horse experience, and appropriate for most ages 12 and above. Rediscover yourself through adventure in the beauty of nature. The well-trained Stetter herd of horses and mules will be your equine-partners as you transverse the scenic vistas of the Wind River Range. Situated on the Wind River, this rustic retreat is a short hike to the base of Gannett Peak. The canvas tents line the boundary of the camp and are complemented with hand-made rope beds ready for a cozy night of sleeping under the stars. The wafting aroma of freshly brewed coffee is the welcoming signal that the camp kitchen is open for business. A menu of hearty meals fuels the week of adventure, as each meal is prepared by an experienced backcountry cook. The warm glow and crackling sound of the campfire provides the perfect ambiance for the group to gather and share their cowboy stories. Get out of the car, get on a horse, and get ready to rediscover life!

Talisman Therapeutic Riding is launching the Paving Hope Program as a special way to honor a loved one (two or four legs), leave a message of inspiration, support a participant, or recognize a family or business. Don’t miss out on this great opportunity to order your engraved brick today! Phase One of this program focuses on the main fire pit area at the farm, which serves as a gathering place during our Heroes on Horses Retreats. This common area allows these groups of active-duty military, veterans, and first responders to reflect on resiliency and purpose. Enhancing this space with personalized bricks will demonstrate the support of community for those who have served their country. There will be future phases of the Paving Hope Program, including the walkway in front of the Anne L. Joyner Welcome Center and the pedestrian passage between the main barn and indoor arena. By purchasing a brick today, you are supporting Talisman in this very important commemorative program. Your brick will be incorporated into the planned phases of the program and your message will be prominently displayed in stone for life at our farm in Grasonville, MD! These bricks are custom laser engraved and made in the USA. Visit our site or click the link below to see the endless options.
