The dedicated team at Unbridled Joy brought their precious ponies to help my daughter celebrate her 4th birthday. Shrek, Pinkie and Tiny Bubbles were a HUGE hit. The UB team were easy to work with, on time, and brought lots of brushes/paint/hair bows for the ponies. Extra points for navigating a three horse trailer through my neighborhood’s narrow streets! We hope to have an opportunity to work with them again!
I love Unbridled Joy! I have been around horses my whole life and when I visited their farm I was impressed on the standards of safety they provide. Very clean and the horses are well taken care of.
Great place to volunteer! Cindy and Lindsay are always appreciative of my help. I get so much fulfillment supporting this non-profit organization.
Our family decided to have a birthday party with the 6 mini horses for my daughters 7th birthday. The party was a huge hit for all the kids and adults too. They do birthday to help fundraise for their cause. I also received a tax deductible receipt. Thank you Unbridled Joy for helping our family make great memories!
We had a birthday party with the mini horses here for my daughter who is living with autism. All the kids had a wonderful time and it's nice to know that we are donating to fund programs that help people in the community. The mini horses were so cute and friendly. Our family had a super fun day and the staff helped everyone learn to groom the horses. The kids then got to paint the horses and had a blast. We will definitely come back.
I am a Veteran with PTSD and have found a lot of peace and healing at this stable. Sessions with the horses are the highlight of my week and I look forward to becoming a working volunteer soon to help my fellow Veterans. Cindy and Lindsay take their work seriously and really care about the horses and people they work with. I highly recommend supporting this charity,
My son has social anxiety and after only 3 sessions he has started to come out of his shell. Working with the horses has given him the confidence he has needed for so long. His favorite horse is Shawnee, although they are all awesome horses. Cindy and Lindsay work hard for this program and we are thankful for our weekly visit!
This organization really cares about their clients, volunteers and horses. The staff were very professional and caring. The horses are happy and content and seem to really like interacting with people.
Thankful for this program in our community. I have attended several events and their standards are high!
I am a Veteran that comes for therapeutic riding. I do not have the use of my legs. They have an ADA wheelchair accessible mounting ramp that helps tremendously getting me on the horse. They also have the knowledge and experience of helping me in every possible way with safety coming first. Horses have very similar hip movement to us. When I'm riding it feels like I am walking again. So thankful for this program.
My 13 year old daughter loves volunteering with Unbridled Joy! She is always asking when she can go help.
I really enjoyed meeting Manny, Arabelle, Shawnee and the donkeys and mini horses. We had so much fun grooming and giving them apples and carrots. My dad is a veteran so I want to help with that program.
This is my happy place. I'm so grateful to be able to share in this work and experience the connection with people and horses on am emotional level.
We really enjoyed visiting the horses and learning about the programs. This is definitely a cause we will continue to support.
I have an autistic son so this rescue really hits home with me! Horses are amazing therapy for special needs kids!!! Thanks for all you do!!! You're appreciated!!!

Thank you for the kind words, Zack!
I'm very favorably impressed with the mission, purpose and goals of "Unbridled Joy." Having worked in a school system with Special Needs students myself for over 18 years, I'm very much aware of their unique needs, and I'm totally convinced that horses and animals can be used as excellent therapy for all ages and disabilities. I know that what Cindy Burtt is doing can be very beneficial to so many people of various ages and needs. I encourage those who can to support "Unbridled Joy" as much as possible, and I'm happy to see progress being accomplished as days go by.

Thank you Joyce! You are a great role model for kindness and compassion - I hope you come visit soon.
I’m a caretaker of a young women who lives with autism. We visit Unbridal Joy to receive equine assisted activities. Kristen enjoys interacting with the horses. It helps her with social skills and increases her communication. I would highly recommend Unbridal Joy for any therapeutic activities with the horses.

Every time I go to Unbridled Joy to see the horses and ride, I feel right at home with the horses and the people. Everybody is so nice and the horses are so sweet and loving. Riding horses is my favorite thing to do and I love the trail rides here. This is one of my favorite places to go and have fun at!

Thank you so much, Briel! We love having you here - you’re a great volunteer and a natural horsewoman!
This is a beautiful place where people really care. Manny, the Percheron, is majestic and amazingly kind for such a big horse. My kids had a fun-filled day meeting all the animals. We learned they are working on a veterans' program and are excited to contribute. I highly recommend a visit to see what they're all about.

Thank you for your generous support! We are excited to be moving ahead quickly with our Veterans’ program.
This place is so peaceful and uplifting. The horses are happy and kind and the staff pleasant and fun to be around. I enjoy helping with the barn chores and grooming the big drafts and mini-horses. This is a great charity to help out if you're looking to donate your time or money.

Thank you, Michaela! We appreciate your kind words.
I took my adult client with a developmental disability to Unbridled Joy to volunteer and spend time with the horses. Cindy was very caring and patient with him, and offered ideas of how he could interact with the horses, including grooming, leading and riding, never pushing him, but letting him progress at his own pace. He left saying he wants to go back!
