Located on a working ranch in Keller, Texas, the Center was established by Doug and Vivian Newton, who understood the physical and emotional benefits that horseback riding could offer their community`s population of individuals with disabilities. As people, young and old, come up the drive, they are filled with anticipation and excitement. What will this day offer? This, then, is the essence of Rocky Top. It`s all about possibilities |
