Our Founder

Leeanne Gardner’s story is a testament to the power of following one’s passion and the impact it can have on personal fulfillment and helping others achieve their own happiness.

Inspired by her lifelong love of horses and noticing that many people struggled to answer the question “What lights you up?”, she left her 25-year corporate career in 2008. She founded Unbridle IT, LLC with the goal of helping others find their passion and create fulfilling lives. Initially partnering with her show horses, Sassy and Romeo, Leeanne shifted into entrepreneurship to make a difference through equine programs.

However, the 2008 economic downturn made the initial launch challenging. Utilizing her corporate skills, she began assisting the aging population as well as small businesses and nonprofit organizations with marketing services.

Unbridled Pathways was created in the Fall of 2022. Leeanne felt a growing sense of disconnection and lack of authenticity in relationships within our communities and was compelled to do something about it. Based on her personal experiences, she knew she could accomplish this through creating safe spaces where humans can learn life lessons and gain wisdom from the horses. As herd animals, horses epitomize a sense of presence, authenticity and coherent relationships with one another all with no judgment. Imagine that!

We have several generations of children who were raised on technology, and we feel the equine interactions will help shift the energies and create stronger and more self aware adults.  Our Unbridled Confidence programs helps these younger generations gain a better sense of self confidence and self worth.
