Our Therapists

Susan Redmond, PT, DPT

Director, Therapist, and Horse Rescue

Susan or “Susie” became a licensed physical therapist in 1995 after completing bachelor degrees in both Exercise and Sports Science and Physical Therapy. While attending school she immediately realized her passion was helping children with special needs to grow, find success and improve their quality of life. While working as Physical Therapist Susie earned a Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree in 2006.

Susie provided therapy services to children ages 0-22 for 25 years, but spent her last 17 years as an Early Interventionist in the Jordan School District. She had the great privilege to work with amazing dedicated families and their beautiful babies ranging from ages 0-3 years with a variety of diagnoses and abilities.

As she began to consider retirement Susie knew she would continue to work with children but wanted to couple that with horses. She completed her Hippotherapy Treatment Principles courses and began researching the process of establishing a Non-Profit Organization. This is when she got a phone call from Robby and Mac. The rest is history.

Susie loves traveling, spending time with friends, family and her 3 dogs.

Mac became an LCSW in 1994 and has made it his life goal to always help other people.

He worked for DCFS for ten years as an investigator and a few therapy clinics throughout his career all while having the focus of Equine-assisted therapy with his partner “China” by his side.

Over the past 4 years, Mac has been able to focus more on Unbridled Hope and Healing and help his clients find success from the program for both horse and human alike.

Mac has been married to his wife Paula for 25 wonderful years. He is beyond grateful for standing by his side through all of his work.
