We seek to share the love of God and develop character in children through a relationship with a mentor and a connection with a horse. Bright Side Youth Ranch is a safe place where we invest in the child, partner with the family, and care for the horse. Through an environment of love, an interactive session, and an opportunity to provide an example, we desire to introduce children to the Author of Hope and help them take steps forward in personal growth.

The ranch, founded established as a 501(c)3 nonprofit in 2014, is firmly rooted in the values of Investing in the Child, Partnering with the Family, Caring for the Horse, Modeling Character, and Sharing the Gospel. On 15 beautiful acres just 20 minutes outside of Charlotte (NC) and Rock Hill (SC), we provide an environment for kids to be heard, valued, loved, and empowered. Bright Side Youth Ranch is a safe place to build trust, develop confidence, and discover Hope, in the person of Jesus. The way we reach the heart of the child is by providing a relationship with a mentor and a connection with a horse, which is all done through our session program. We desire for children and teens to discover they are stronger and more capable than they first imagined and that they can face obstacles in life with confidence and Hope, because we can introduce them to the Author of Hope.
