Who we are

UNBRIDLED RISING bridges the gap between traditional therapy and enrichment to improve the health and well-being of youth, ages 8-18. We harness the power of equine and peer partnerships within experiential learning environments to help youth develop authenticity, confidence, and emotional resilience.

We are horse trainers, mental health practitioners, public health advocates, and digital health professionals on a mission to address the mental and behavioral health crisis in real-time with real-life partnerships, without screens or apps, but instead, grounded in nature and natural connection.

Who are we for?

Unbridled Rising is for every young person navigating the complex journey of growing up. Girls-only, boys-only, and mixed-gender cohorts are available. Whether your child is facing a specific challenge or needs tools to thrive, our program empowers youth ages 8-18 of all genders to:

  • Develop authentic confidence and self-awareness

  • Regulate emotions and navigate stress

  • Build healthy, empowering relationships

  • Discover their unique strengths and purpose

Why horses?

Horses and nature provide what screens cannot: immediate biofeedback, authentic connection, and the requirement to be fully present. Our program is grounded in an evidence-based curriculum facilitated by a certified mental health / PATH Intl./ EAGALA-certified equine specialist

Our Core Values

  • Strengths-Based Development: Every participant brings unique capabilities that deserve recognition and amplification, not deficit-focused intervention.

  • Human-Centered Design: Youth participate in shaping their own learning experiences, ensuring programming meets their actual needs.

  • Partnership Over Dominance: True confidence emerges through collaboration and mutual respect, not control or coercion.

  • Authentic Wellbeing: Real resilience comes from understanding and accepting ourselves, not from external validation or performance.

  • Cultural Responsiveness: Well-being development must honor and celebrate diverse perspectives, identities, and lived experiences.
