About Rocking N Ranch

Rocking N Ranch operates in Des Allemands, Louisiana, a small bayou community in St. Charles Parish known more for catfish than cowboys. That makes this ranch something of a standout in the area. Des Allemands sits along Bayou Des Allemands about 30 miles southwest of New Orleans, where rural land and a slower pace of life make horse keeping practical. The ranch offers both horseback riding and horse boarding, giving local horse owners a nearby option without the long drive north that many south Louisiana riders have to make.

Services & Process

Rocking N Ranch covers the two services most commonly needed by south Louisiana equestrians: a place to keep your horse and a place to ride. Boarding here likely includes stall or pasture options suited to the bayou-adjacent landscape of St. Charles Parish, with daily feeding, water, and routine upkeep included. Horseback riding services could range from casual rides on the property to guided outings that take in the flat, open terrain of the region. For horse owners in the Des Allemands area who want to avoid a long commute to boarding facilities further north, this ranch fills a genuine gap.

Service Area

Rocking N Ranch is based in Des Allemands and serves horse owners and riders in St. Charles, Lafourche, and St. John the Baptist parishes. It's also accessible to clients coming from the Westbank of New Orleans and the River Parishes corridor along the Mississippi.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the challenges of keeping horses in the Des Allemands area?
The biggest factors are humidity, heat, and the potential for flooding in low-lying areas near the bayou. Good facilities manage these through elevated pastures, proper drainage, adequate shade, and keeping a close eye on horses during extreme heat or severe weather.
Is horseback riding available for people who've never ridden before?
Many facilities like Rocking N Ranch welcome first-time riders and provide basic orientation before you mount up. Calling ahead gives you a chance to describe your experience level and ask what the ride will involve.
Are there horse boarding options close to the New Orleans Westbank?
Des Allemands is one of the closer rural boarding options for riders on the Westbank, sitting about 30 miles southwest via Highway 90. It's a shorter haul than driving north to St. Tammany or Livingston parishes.
How is boarding typically priced in Louisiana?
Boarding costs vary based on whether you choose pasture or stall board, and what services are included. Pasture board is generally less expensive, while stall board with full care commands a higher monthly rate. It's always best to ask for a detailed breakdown of what's included.
Can I visit my horse whenever I want during boarding?
Most boarding facilities allow owner visits during daylight hours, though specific hours vary by location. It's a good habit to confirm visiting policies during your initial tour so there are no surprises.
What should I look for when choosing a boarding facility in south Louisiana?
Look for clean water sources, well-maintained fencing, adequate drainage to handle heavy rains, and staff who are clearly attentive to the horses in their care. In a humid climate, ventilation in stalls and proper parasite management are also worth asking about.
