Why not stop by and take a look around?
The horse of your dreams could be just a click away....
Looking for a good horse?
Then we really need to talk!
Better yet, why not stop on by for a spell. We can saddle up and let you test drive a few. Who knows, we might even get a chance to take to the trails with creeks to cross and lots of woods to investigate ........where beauty surrounds you.

Why not try out one of our Colonial Spanish horses....they're America's First Horse!
Experience some real history.....come ride what the REAL cowboys rode!
We invite you to visit our ranch while you're online. Go ahead, stroll around awhile. I mean, since you're already here, you might as well enjoy the view. Heck, you might
maybe even get a hankering' for some adventure.... then go ahead, check out a few of the horses...they're all good and gentle. But we would prefer that you give us a call
and set up an appointment. That way we can make sure we're home...so that we can show you just how sweet our critters are in real life.

Located just a little west of Corsicana, Texas, the ranch is owned and operated by David Hall and his lovely
partner Susan (who's really the boss).. and also happens to hold the title of 'Chief Cook & Bottle Washer' as well as being the Ranch Foreman. But, no matter what titles
Susan may acquire, she still manages to runs the place with the strict West Texas ways that Buttons taught her.
We've worked hard and pride ourselves in having horses that are gentle, dependable and sturdy enough to put in a full days work. Here at the Rockin' B we have
Colonial Spanish horses, as well as a few American Quarter Horses for those people who just can't handle the thought of riding a good 'stang. Our Spanish horses carry
papers from such outstanding registries as the Southwest Spanish Mustang Association, Spanish Mustang Registry, Horse of the Americas, as well as American
Indian Horse Registry. We even keep a few of those 'Heinz 57's around for those of you who just don't like the idea of riding these purebred critters...
Hey! Don't cut us short! Ain't no old plugs around here! Our working horses double as dude horses. These aren't horses that just plod along, waiting for their time to go
to the glue factory, these are horses that are intelligent and have a personality. These horses will start off at a competitive trail ride at seven in the morning, travel at a
fast-paced walk for thirty-five to fifty miles and be back before lunch. Several horses have been clocked at an average speed of 15 to 17 miles and hour.
We've even set up links so you can visit with each of our horses here at the ranch, as well as other critters that you may find along the way. Please feel free to roam the
grounds, wandering wherever you please....just make sure you don't get to close to the white pickup over there ::she says as she points to the 'cause the dogs'll get ya. If you'd
like to find out more about our dogs Bear and Katy Sue, or maybe even learn how to how to make Bear like you, visit the RANCH SECURITY PAGE. If Bear's in a good
mood, he'll have the link up and working.....but if he's not.....whoa, then you'd better watch out!
Most of the horses at the ranch have helped Susan with her American Indian Horse and Horse of the America Presentations over the last few years. Yep, they've been to
the Spring Rendezvous at Fort Washita and Cal Farley's Boy's Ranch in Amarillo, just to name a few. Heck, Susan and the mares even got asked to ride in the grand entry at
the Boy's Ranch Rodeo....course that's a whole 'nother story. Wanna see the pics? Then please visit our SHOWS & REENACTMENT Page.
Done already? Then why not come on in and sit a spell. If you're in a hurry to leave, well, we hope you enjoyed your stay and please stop back by when you get a
chance. If you're looking for that special horse, or just looking to see some pretty pictures, drop in and see what's new around here. Heck, you can even drop us and email if
you'd like. We'll write back soon as we can.
Susan has two lovely daughters, Sharon and Chris (Chrissy) who are out busily making their marks on the world. Come to think of it, there's some of those marks that ajax ain't even gonna be able to take off. :Snickers: Gotta love 'em tho, cause they're both tough as nails.

We are very proud to say that all hands here at the ranch help to break, train, and show the horses. For pics of how we've done at the shows, and maybe even see a few of us dressed up for costume class, check out the links below. I'll put more pics online just as soon as I can....

Since 1944 Hobby Crafters has given as many as 10,000+ handmade wooden toys per year to less fortunate
children in the greater Dallas area. Distributed through missions and churches at Christmas, these toys allow the joy of
the Christmas spirit to reach children who would otherwise wonder, 'Has Santa forgotten me?' That's something that
no child should endure. All the work at the 'Toy Shop' is done by volunteers. We have no paid employees of any
kind, just kind hearted people who want to make a difference, so please feel free to stop by and visit on Thursday
evenings. If you can stay around til about eight, and you can have some snacks with us at break time. Heck, if you
can hold a board and trace around it, you too can be one of Santa's little elves at the Hobby Crafters 'Toy Shop'.one

We're so proud of our horses! We're especially proud when we sell
a horse, and the new owner calls us to say that the horses have become a
loving part of their lives. We really wish that we could keep them all, but
we have to let go of a few to make room for fresh stock and the babies
that come in the spring. Thank goodness our horses have all gone to
good people and great homes, so it makes the separation a little easier.
Well, I've got horses to ride and chores to get done, so why don't you wander over and pet the mares...they've been up at the barn waiting on some scratchin' ever since
they heard us talking. (Just please don't go telling the girls that they're fat, cause they ain't...they're just plus sized women).
Then again if you'd just like to take a gander at the horses that we have here at the ranch, please visit our RANCH HORSE PAGE. There you'll find a list of all the
horses that call the Rockin' B their home. Who knows, maybe you'll even recognize a few of 'em. Then again, maybe you'd like to visit our RANCH SALE PAGE to see if
your favorite horse is listed.....you just might find that horse that you've always wanted at a price you can afford.
Yeah, I know. Santa's little elves and the toy shop idea have already been used, but we still lovingly call the
workers 'our little elves'. But seriously, the Hobby Crafters are pretty good at getting everything together and having
those toys ready in time for Christmas. Well, they should be good at it. They've only been doing it since 1944!
To find out more, please visit the Hobby Crafters Foundation website by clicking on these links, or the Hobby Crafters' sign. They're a great
group of people doing a great things for children. Please email Jerry if you would like to know more, or you'd just like to comment on the website. He
loves to hear what people think about the site.

Five horses were taken to the National Show to represent the Rockin' B Ranch in September of 2009, but the outcome was breathtaking! Each one did their best and the results speak for themselves....
CONGRADS TO OUR NATIONAL & GRAND CHAMPIONS !!!

Please remember that we have a ranch to run, so we can't keep these pages updated as fast as we'd
like....so if somethings not working, just give us a little time, 'cause we're working on it as fast as we can.
Specializing in horses that work calmly and gently while roping, running barrels, playdays or just trail riding, we're a family oriented business. Established in 1964, we
believe that a horse should work willingly, not be frightened of your every move. Doesn't matter whether they are Quarter Horses, Paints or Colonial Spanish, our horses
work calmly and gently. Ever ridden a barrel or competition horse that 'jigs' (jumps up and down with excitement)? Well, our horses don't.
Don't believe me? Most people don't until they come and spend a few hours at our ranch. But let me warn you....sometimes it's more of petting zoo than a ranch for the
horses all want to be loved by anyone that comes along.
Originally founded in Paducah, Texas, the Rockin' B Ranch was established in 1964 by the late Robert "Buttons" Tuscana. Moving to Dallas in the early 80's,
Buttons brought his ranch to this area. Now days, Susan stays busy working the ranch...keeping a promise that she made to that darn West Texan husband of hers so very
long ago. He may be gone, but her promise still holds true. Susan and her children will make sure that there will always be a Rockin' B Ranch. After all, what good is a
person if they can't keep their word?
