How It Started
We are Mark & Amy Steppe
We are Mark and Amy Steppe, we are veterans. Some call us heroes. We call ourselves survivors. We believe everybody has a story and no two stories are alike, that's why no two people are "treated" the same way. In our case following years of PTSD, depression, and addiction we grew immune to all forms of treatment. Our marriage and our family were breaking down and we were lost. We found ourselves again and each other in a way that was unexpected, unscripted and Unbridled. We connected with rescue horses who were just as lost as us. Very slowly through daily interactions, we established trust. Some of these horses were so abused they would not let a human touch them. The days they did are among the best of our lives. we didn't really know what was happening between us and the horses, nor did understanding it really matter. What mattered is that we were healing from the inside out. Laughter returned, hope returned, physical wellness returned, and our souls returned. We were Mark and Amy again. In the company of these magnificent creatures, we became Unbridled Heroes once more. Come join us!
