The special one-on-one attention that Talisman programs provide has kept Dan focused on his journey and coming back for over six years! During this time, Dan’s horsemanship skills have steadily progressed with careful guidance from his instructor, teamwork with his dedicated horse leader, and partnership with his favorite horse. 

Lessons are not all work! They are also about making new friends and socializing. Dan’s incredible sense of humor and love of horses makes him a favorite participant at the farm. Dan’s positive energy is so infectious, he has a Talisman Fan Club – led by his very special friend, Linda Pullen, who meets Dan for his lesson each week. The echoing sound of Dan’s laughter and the size of his beaming smile reinforce the fun shared by everyone across the farm. His family reports that his time at Talisman is the highlight of his week.
