The NOT TO BE MISSED music event is back! Our annual benefit concert welcomes back to Maryland’s premier horse farm, The 19th Street Band with friends, Patty Reese & Band, on the front lawn at our new Arts & Education Pavilion affectionately called “The Hitching Post”. This years concert will pay tribute to our late founder, Kathy Schwartz-Howe, who passed away earlier this year where we’ll honor her incredible legacy throughout the farm and with music. Enjoy popular food trucks, beer & wine, lawn games, and farm tours to meet our rescue horses – there is something for the whole family!!
Book a day out in the country (at our Woodbine, MD facility) and watch the sunset over our fields, while swaying to the music of arguably 2 of the best groups of musicians in the area! Enjoy yourself while knowing ALL money raised goes to the horses and allows us to continue our life-saving work in the community.
