How it all Started
My name is Kristine Fowler. I was born in 1988 and horses are in my blood. I’ve always rode horses. My grandpa helped start a saddle club years ago, my grandmother barrel raced, and my mother showed horses. I used to think I would be working with troubled boys but I found my calling with teaching all children to ride while rescuing a few horses along the way. I really love what I do and give all glory back to God for allowing me this opportunity with His children. Kozy Farms Ministry is a ministry of love and of action. I serve and support kids from all walks of life and it is my honor to do so. The way I serve Jesus is to be His hands and feet in the way I serve His two most amazing creations in my eyes- the child and the horse.
We have dedicated volunteers here that love Jesus, horses, and our students. Once you meet our horses and students, it’s hard not to fall in love! Our team consists of an all female board, as well as so many loving leaders who have seen what a difference our program makes in their lives, kids, and community. Contact us to become a volunteer today!
Our ministry prides itself on being a safe escape for all of God’s children. Whether your child is thriving in life and would benefit from one of our leadership roles, whether they are troubled and struggling with their emotions, or whether they have mental or physical disabilities, this is a safe place for your child to learn and grow. People from all walks of life, any background, and any circumstance are welcome here. Come on out to the farm and see what a little time spent with God’s creation can do for you!
Equine Education
Whether you’re a seasoned horse enthusiast or a brand new beginner, there is always more to learn about these majestic animals. From the basics of how to approach a horse and grooming to groundwork and barrel racing, our program has it covered.

Each week consists of different learning stations based around western rodeo events such as barrel racing, roping, goat tying, and pole bending. We learn all about the anatomy of the horse during grooming as well. Lunch is provided and a quick Bible lesson is included. After lunch, kids enjoy water slides, playing in the creek, and short trail rides for our leadership team students. You don’t want to miss this!
Camp is Monday- Thursday from 9 am drop off to 2 pm pickup. It cost our farm $250 per student. Camp includes snacks, lunch and a shirt they receive at the end of the week. Students need to bring their own refillable water bottle, and change of appropriate swim wear for the afternoon. Students are expected to wear jeans and boots during morning equine activities. Please contact us to enroll your child in summer camp today! It’s important to us that kids are able to attend regardless of financial ability. Financial hardship applications are available and cost is donation based after application is approved. We also offer several fundraising opportunities to raise your child’s camp fees. All students and campers are required to sign waivers and register. Follow the link below to submit your google doc registration:
