The manager was extremely rude to our group and the drinks were not great. Definitely will not be coming back.

Much better options for equine therapy in Central TX. Unfortunately this organization is under staffed and unorganized. I do believe their hearts are in the right place.

Came here for a volunteer event. Everyone here is calmer happier and peaceful. Their energy rubs on you. Love the place and their vision. This place has lots of energy. Few of my colleagues are even sponsoring horses here. It was nice to spend time here. A place where horses are treated like Rockstars

If youre looking to volunteer somewhere this place is amazing. If you like horses this place is perfect. The staff are so friendly other volunteers are so happy to be there the families that come are all such amazing people. Its a really inviting community and you will instantly feel like family. There is always something to do so youll always feel well utilized. Its also a gorgeous facility and side walking trail rides in the pasture on a clear windy day is one of the best times to appreciate the beauty of nature in central texas. Ive been volunteering for years here and have loved every time I come.

As a family that has a child that would greatly benefit from hippotherapy we were encouraged to look into the R.O.C.K. center for our daughter. My daughter has CHARGE syndrome and is deaf blind and has multiple disabilities. She is essentially missing her vestibular system and has to learn to balance with her eyes. We were told especially for children with specific disability would greatly benefit from this form of therapy.We reached out to the ROCK originally in July of 2014 visited in early July over a year ago to determine when we could sign my daughter up. They confirmed that our daughter would greatly benefit from this therapy but after some further conversation and consideration regarding her age they ultimately told us we would need to wait until she was 2 to begin therapy. At the time they also told us specifically that we should reach out and start the paperwork a couple months before her 2nd birthday. During this 6 month period we were getting calls from the school weekly because my daughter is having serious falls due to her lack of balance and low vision. So we werent entirely happy with this answer because we know many other families with the same syndrome who had started this therapy at 18 months and seen therapies but my daughters 2nd birthday is in April and we reached out again in February to start the process of enrolling her expecting that she would be able to start in April when she turned 2. Instead at that time we were told to email Kristin who oversees the waiting list and Kristin didnt reply to us for over 2 weeks and then tells me that we needed to get on a waiting list and that we better hurry because they had had tons of applications for the fall come through that week after we had reached out over 2 weeks before with no response and that they were starting to have a waiting list for the fall enrollment and letting us know that we would have to wait 6 more months before she could enroll and that people who had just applied that week were somehow already ahead of us on the waiting list and they may not have openings for us. At this point we were very frustrated with the R.O.C.K center and talked to our therapists who had recommended them to us about other centers. Our therapists also couldnt believe this response but said stand by and not explore other options that they would talk to contacts that they knew at the center and see what they could do. So ultimately some time passed and we did not hear anything back from the R.O.C.K so we decided to fill out the enrollment forms. This is an extensive enrollment form we had to get my daughters medical team to fill out portions etc. We submitted it and the center thanked us but gave us no real indication of a waiting list etc. Then a couple months goes by and they get back to us saying they need us to fill out another form regarding schedules. We sent that to them then heard absolutely nothing back. Every time we have ever dealt with them we have probably had to email 2 times over an extended time to even get a response. Now we are finally told that they have no spots and MAY have a spot in JANUARY for my daughterI dont even understand first of all how a place that is registered as a 501.C3 charity can charge families for therapy. If enrolled this therapy would cost our family about 100 a session which is not covered by insurance. We are a middle class family and have over 60000 in medical care related expenses related to my 2 year old daughter in just this year and are going into debt just to get my daughter the therapies she needs were committed to paying whatever it took weekly if it could help my daughter. It seems like the majority of people with the ROCK appear to volunteer so much is donated etc but I am not sure where this funding goesI will be writing to all of the sponsors who have contributed to this massive center asking them to support other places that are putting families outcomes first and are actually invested in helping families in the special needs community.
