Hi all!

We wanted to share our Amazon Wish List for our wonderful herd. 🐴

Right now, fly boots are at the top of our needs. They help protect our horses from painful bites and keep them comfortable during these hot months.

If you’re able to help, we’d be so grateful! 💜 Your support means the world to us—and to the horses who give so much in return.

Please ship to JoyRide Center, 29550 Tudor Way, Magnolia, TX 77355

Thank you for loving our herd as much as we do.

Today we had the joy of welcoming back our amazing founder, Jackie McDonald!

Jackie’s vision sparked the creation of JoyRide Center, a place where healing happens through horses. Her heart and dedication laid the foundation for everything we do today.

Pictured with Jackie are Mary and Leonard Kalfayan, two of our incredible board members and devoted supporters. Their commitment runs deep, not just through leadership but by showing up in person to give their time, care, and heart to the JoyRide community.

We’re so grateful for Jackie’s legacy and for those like Mary and Leonard who continue to carry it forward.
