Serving Those Who Served
Promise Landing Farm proudly introduces Patriot’s Promise, a program dedicated to supporting veterans, active-duty military, first responders.
Through equine-assisted activities, we provide a safe and welcoming space for connection, healing, and personal growth. Guided by the motto “Never Give Up,” Patriot’s Promise offers tailored programs designed to foster resilience, camaraderie, and the transformative power of the horse-human bond.
A Path to Connection and Healing
Promise Landing Farm is proud to introduce Patriot’s Promise, a program dedicated to empowering veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and their families. This equine-assisted initiative offers a welcoming community where participants can experience the healing and transformative power of horses and nature.
Patriot’s Promise provides tailored individual and group programs, including unmounted and mounted horsemanship activities. From one-time clinics to recurring sessions, these experiences are thoughtfully designed to support emotional well-being, cognitive development, physical strength, and social connection while fostering camaraderie and resilience.
Guided by the core value “Never Give Up,” Patriot’s Promise is our commitment to honoring and supporting those who serve. Veterans, and active-duty military members are invited to join us for meaningful equine interactions and volunteer opportunities in a safe, inclusive environment at both of our locations.

Certified Instructors
Veterans will find our riding lessons especially valuable due to the expertise and dedication of our instructors. Certified therapeutic riding instructors (CTRIs) through PATH International, our instructors are skilled in creating customized, supportive, and adaptive lesson plans that cater to the unique needs of veterans. They use their experience and compassion to ensure that every veteran feels understood, respected, and empowered, making the lessons not only beneficial but also transformative.
Community Support
At Promise Landing Farm, we are dedicated to supporting our veterans and their families, helping them find connection, healing, and community through the power of horses and nature. Our programs effectively address mental and emotional needs thanks to our incredibly warm and caring staff, volunteers, and community, who provide unwavering support and compassion to every participant.
Free Veteran Sessions
Thanks to different grants and programs, we are able to offer free sessions (weekly lessons during one of our seasonal sessions) to our Veterans. Veterans who are Maryland residents can ride for free, thanks to a grant from the Maryland Veterans Service Animal Program. (Please note you are a veteran in your application.) Through the Wounded Warrior Program, eligible warriors and their family members can receive funding for riding lessons. (For WWP, register here, and request a referral to PLF.)
