ABOUT US

The Experts in Equestrian Care, Sheep Farming and Farm Management

Since 2001, Moon Rising Farm in Boyds, Maryland has been at the forefront of innovative horse care, offering top-tier boarding and training facilities for riders and horses across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. Our expansive 200-acre farm provides a supportive and safe environment where riders can connect with their horses, train in world-class facilities, and achieve their personal goals.

In 2023, we expanded our offerings with the addition of the Madra Training Field, which features a dedicated space for sheep herding, exercise, and dog training. The private training field is available for rental in one-hour increments, and we also offer tailored sheep herding practice sessions for those looking to refine their skills.

Owned by Rebecca Roach, Moon Rising Farm also offers expert consultation on Farm and Facility Management. Whether you're just starting out or need a fresh perspective on an ongoing issue, Rebecca’s unique qualifications—gained through both education and hands-on experience—enable her to provide valuable insights, solve problems, and help prevent costly mistakes for beginners and seasoned professionals alike.

Riders’ Testimonials


With our countless miles of trails, it’s no wonder why so many people have chosen Moon Rising Farm to be their horse’s home. See what people love about us:

I moved to MRF in 2015.  While I think I have wonderful horses, none of them are the coveted “easy keepers”.  There are metabolic issues, unfortunate thoroughbred feet, special dietary needs, and, to be honest, some are just special needs!  All have thrived at MRF.   I love the knowledge, techniques and tricks up her sleeve that she is able to implement in solving problems.  The barn is well run, organized, and maintained.  The indoor ring and footing is excellent and the options for trail riding are extensive.  I wholly recommend MRF.
