We believe this is the foundation of all whole healthy relationships, people and horses alike. We are committed to working diligently on ourselves in order that we may offer the most to all our relationships.

We are committed to transparency and honesty with everyone. We will practice “clear is kind” and hold each other accountable for our stated common mission and values. We will practice value creation and maintain transparency in all of our business and personal relationships. The horse is a great equalizer, he doesn't care how good looking you are,
or how rich you are or how powerful you are,
he takes you for how you make him feel. - Buck Brannaman

Why name a company JOY?

Before starting his own business, Clif sought advice from people who had already built businesses. He noticed a common theme: many were stressed, jaded, angry, and even miserable.

That led to a simple question: If I build my own company, what do I actually want?
The answer was JOY!

That idea became more than a company name. It became the philosophy behind JOY Inc. and the kind of business Clif wanted to build.

You don't need to own a company to practice ownership.

Real ownership is how you respond when something goes wrong. Own your mistakes, take responsibility, solve problems, and create value instead of assuming it's someone else's problem.

Legal ownership might give you a title, but practiced ownership is a mindset. It's how you lead, how you work, and how you invest in the people around you.

🎉 JOY is proud to sponsor the Olympia High School Cheer Team!

This one's personal! One of our own has a niece on this very squad, closing out her senior year doing what she loves. Cheerleading has been a passion of hers throughout her time in sports, and we couldn't be prouder to help support her team.

At JOY, community isn't just something we talk about, it's built into how we operate. We donate 10% of our profits back into the communities we serve, whether that's through local sponsorships like this one or partnerships with organizations doing meaningful work. Supporting the next generation of athletes right here in Olympia is exactly what Bringing Humanity Back to Industry looks like in action.

Go get 'em, Bears! We're cheering you on all season long. 📣

“I shut my brain off when I come to work.”

That might be one of the worst mindsets you can bring into the workplace.

The employees who stand out are the ones who think, take initiative, recognize problems, and look for ways to create value instead of simply showing up for a paycheck.

If you want to grow in your career, turn your brain on when you come to work.

What separates young people who succeed from those who simply show up and do the job?

It comes down to ownership. When you make a mistake, own it. When you see a problem, speak up. The people who stand out aren't necessarily the ones with an ownership title. They're the ones who practice ownership through their actions, decisions, and the value they create.

Ownership isn't something you're given. It's something you practice.

What an incredible first round at the NJRA Junior Rodeo Finals in Silverdale! 🤠🔥

Our two JOY Equine young men took the top two spots in chute do***ng:

🥇 Ryland Rosas — 3.039 seconds
🥈 John Siegrist — 3.761 seconds

I’m extremely proud of both of these young men—their courage, grit, hard work, and willingness to step into the arena and compete.

Tomorrow is the second and final round, and we’re excited to see how it all turns out. Regardless of the final standings, these two are already representing JOY Equine well!
