Testimonials Hospital Visit

"Thank you so much for bringing Big Mike to visit the residents. It was truly amazing to see

the effect that your Great Dane had on the people at DCHC. Folks that don't normally speak

were asking questions; people who normally stare into space were engaged and looking at

him and reaching out for him. It was truly amazing!

God Bless!"

Endorsements

"Scatter Joy Acres has been such a Godsend for our family. It abounds in peace and hope. It

offers the opportunity to be with nature and animals, both of which have a tremendous

calming effect. The animals help one to get out of self and to feel more connected. The Ranch

offers the opportunity for new experiences, such as horseback riding, and the confidence that

goes along with trying and succeeding at something new. Joy's model acceptance of each

individual just as they are, with heartfelt encouragement that they can achieve more and

move closer to their dreams, whatever they may be."

"The Open Door Mission is grateful for Scatter Joy Acres' partnership during its 2012

Project Santa Event. The live nativity animals brought to life The Christmas Story for the

homeless and poverty stricken in our community. Many were seeing and touching animals

for the first time. Thank you for making memories for those less fortunate."

Sydney Story

"A little girl had been seeing her counselor for three weeks and she would not talk to her

about what had happened to her. We were called in to help with one of our animals. We took

in a bunny named Spot. I spend 10 minutes with Sydney and Spot and we talked about Spot

his colors, how soft he was and how to hold Spot. I left the room and the work

began. Sydney for the past three years had been sexually molested by someone and she was

scared to tell anyone. After 45 minuted the Counselor came out and told me that Sydney had

told Spot who, what, when and how long this had been happening. This is a true test of how

many of our animals are making a difference everyday in people lives. Sydney and Spot still

see each other weekly."

CJ Age 90. Princess Birthday Party

"Hi Joy,

Thank you for bringing your most ADORABLE ponies to Alivia's birthday party!! They

were such HIT for the girls, and adults too! Thanks for bringing Storm too - he acts like a

puppy! Both of them, such a sweet personality. I can tell they're used to lots of kids and

chaos ... and shiny

objects, and flying decorations, they were so CALM!

I'm so glad to know about you and your farm, and we all agreed we would love to come visit

on a day that works in your schedule.I will send you a few pictures for your own photo

library, once I have a chance to download my pictures. We all read your brochure and we all

say AMEN and AMEN!! That's so COOL how you use your horses for the glory of the Lord,

and how you share that with others!!

Thank you for your work in the ministry - keep doing what you're doing. After you left, we

had shadow play of the story of Queen Esther - hopefully that planted a seed or two!

Have a great day!"

Big Brothers Big Sisters

"Joy,

I just want to thank you for hosting Big Brothers Big Sisters out at your ranch. Everyone

had a wonderful time and I think the ability to interact directly with the animals was a very

meaningful experience for these kids. While we were there the troubles melted away and they

were free to enjoy nature of the beauty of the blessing around them. Thank you for providing

that to our matches. The adults had as much fun as the kids and they were kids again

themselves.

Joy was great with the group and she was a fantastic host. The time worked out just fine and

we got to do all that we planned on. She taught us so much about all the different animals

and their backgrounds. It was really neat to hear about the rehabilitation of some of the

animals. You guys are doing great things there and you can tell it is your passion.

Thank you again for the amazing experience you provided us. Enjoy Autumn and all the

beauty it provides."
