Description

Saddles of Joy Inc, located at 2749 W County 14th St in Yuma, AZ, is a nonprofit ranch that combines horseback riding experiences with therapeutic animal interactions for visitors of all ages. The facility offers a welcoming environment where families can enjoy hands-on time with horses, goats, pigs, chickens, tortoises, peacocks, and friendly barn cats while participating in their Saturday morning open sessions. As both a therapeutic riding center and community gathering space, the ranch provides equine-assisted therapy programs for children and adults with special needs, alongside volunteer opportunities that help people develop new skills and find meaningful connections with animals. The relaxed, farm-style atmosphere makes it an ideal spot for first-time riders, families seeking outdoor activities, and those looking to support a mission-driven organization through volunteering or donations. While the venue operates primarily on Saturdays with volunteer-focused hours during the week, visitors appreciate the peaceful setting and the dedication of staff who work with participants to build confidence around horses and other farm animals.
