We have had 3 horses boarded at this facility for the past 6 years. We have enjoyed the facility, made great friends, and learned good horsemanship. Donald and Kathy Hawkins do a great job maintaining the facility. It is a safe family environment for all ages. I never worry about my children or my horses at the ranch.

Donald and Kathy have taught my family to ride well and to practice good horsemanship. My children have good balance and riding skills thanks to their instruction. They also emphasize manners and good morales with the kids. I wouldn't go anywhere else for boarding or lessons.

Rockin H Ranch has been such a blessing to my family and our horses. Donald and Kathy Hawkins are some of the finest people you will ever meet. We never worried about our horses for one moment when they were in their care. Our daughter has taken lessons at Rockin H for many years. Her confidence and grace on a horse is astounding. Donald and Kathy were even so kind as to help us surprise our daughter with her new horse by allowing her to care for him there at the ranch for several months before we revealed to her that the horse she had been caring and riding was actually her own! It was such a neat experience and we could not have done it without them. They are so special to us and we recommend Donald, Kathy, and Rockin H Ranch without reservation!

Donald and Kathy Hawkins are truly amazing people. Their knowledge is only exceeded by their kindness and I cannot think of a better place to board your beloved horses. Their care for the animals and boarders is beyond reproach and the facilities are outstanding. They are readily available to answer questions or help when needed. We have used various local boarding facilities in East Texas and my only regret is that we didn’t know about Rockin H sooner. My daughter’s riding ability has excelled tremendously in the 11 months we’ve been boarding here along with the private lessons she’s been taking weekly. Even though she had been riding for almost five years, until we came here, she had only progressed moderately. As a lifelong horse owner, I can honestly say she would not be the rider she is today without the guidance, support and instruction from Don and Kathy. We truly enjoy spending time at the ranch and visiting with the other boarders. It genuinely is a family atmosphere and a home away from home. There is plenty of roam to ride, whether you need round pens, a lighted arena, trails or an open pasture - they have it all! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to challenge my own horse with the amazing obstacles and courses they’ve constructed & they have also been so kind as to allow me to see how he’d interact with their cattle. The privacy of our own lockable tack room assures me our tack is always safe, but I never worry because everyone out there is like family. This is not just a great horse boarding facility, it’s an overall excellent environment. I feel honored to have my daughter be a part of Rockin H and I’m truly blessed to call Donald and Kathy Hawkins my friends.

This is the best place I have boarded since owning horses in San Antonio and Longview. The facilities have multiple round pens, a large arena and other areas to ride. You have your own tack room that locks. Self care has allowed us to become more involved in the care for our horses and is much more affordable. The owners are readily available for any problems and are a great source for advice. This place feels like a family.

Can't express how thankful we are for Donald an Kathy Hawkins Our daughter has grown up here! She is 16 now an on her way to training her own horses. Beautiful place, we have been coming since she 7 Google her Tera Rozell to see some of her accomplishments

If you're looking for a fun place to ride and know that your horse is in a secure facility, THIS IS NOT THAT PLACE. Very "mom & pop" joint that caters to the rich kids of Longview and Diana. WAY too much barn drama from the bratty kids with money. Families with nothing don't stand a chance of competing with the rich at THIS facility. Security is non-existant there. WAY overpriced for even the self-serve boarding. Pay a bit more, find the SECURE facilities, and run way away from this place. No respect for those working hard. Only care for the rich here.

We are all like family here at the Rockin H Ranch! You get your own tack/feed room with your own key! No sharing. Your horses have plenty of room to stretch their legs! Come and check out the ranch for yourself!
