About Us

My Farm Camps offer Christ-centered adventures for children and families through horseback riding, animal-assisted therapy, mini-farm camps, summer experiences, parties, weddings, and special events.

Our wide range of activities empower and equip your child to explore God's creation, care for His creatures, and cultivate life lessons learned on the farm. Our special staff and incredible facilities mean everyone gets a chance to explore and celebrate. 

My Farm Camps is so much more than a horseback riding farm. My Farm Camps was founded in 2007 with a desire to spread God's Word in love and compassion through the vessel of real-life, hands-on, fun-for-the-whole-family, farm experiences.

My Farm Camps provides a unique blend of adventure and educational experiences for children, teens, adults, and families. Our mini camps, summer experiences, parties, and special events offer the chance to create lasting memories while riding horses, encountering wildlife, and experiencing God's creation and life on the farm. 

Kind Words

  • My daughter is going into her 5th year at My Farms Camp. She takes lessons all year round, and also participates in as many summer camps as her schedule permits. I can’t say enough good things about the farm, Morgan, and all of the counselors. They are so wonderful with the kids. The horses are so well treated, and my daughter looks forward to going there every single time. If she could spend all of her spare time there, she would. Morgan is a wonderful trainer, kind, fun and always keep safety at the forefront of their operations. I couldn’t be more blessed that I found this farm tucked away in Pineville. We have many other equestrian centers closer to our home, but this is the one that we choose!

  • Enrolling our son and daughter in My Farm Camps has been a fantastic decision. From day one, it was clear that this program is exceptional. Our daughter quickly developed her riding skills and horsemanship techniques while having a great time and being challenged to grow. Meanwhile, our son became comfortable around horses, which is crucial given our daughter's dedication to riding. The program strikes the perfect balance between learning and fun. The instructors excel at teaching not only the basics of riding but also how to care for the horses, which has been impressive. Additionally, the program encourages kids to face challenges and builds their sense of personal responsibility. With its supportive and friendly atmosphere, My Farm Camps stands out as an excellent choice. If you want a program where kids can learn, grow, and enjoy themselves, this is definitely the place to be!

    My Farm Camps Parent

  • My Farm Camps, along with the talented group of instructors, incredible horses, and friendly animals, have truly become a second home for my daughter, McKinley. Morgan's passion for horses and teaching is evident in every interaction she has with the children she engages. She not only teaches the children how to ride, but also instills a deep respect and love for the animals. McKinley has grown so much in her confidence and skill since starting at My Farm Camps, and we couldn't be more grateful for Morgan's guidance and expertise. The atmosphere at the barn is warm and welcoming, with a true sense of community among the families and riders. McKinley looks forward to every session with excitement.
