Testimonials

Thank you, Dan, for such a super job transporting my new mare, Zakora, from Colorado to her new home in Arizona. She arrived calm, relaxed and in excellent shape. I truly appreciate your professional and superb care during the long trip. I will certainly recommend you to all my friends who have hauling needs and will not hesitate to call you again if I have any transportation needs in the future! Thanks again!

We operate an equine retirement facility, Challis Creek Ranch, in Idaho. Dan has transported horses for our clients on multiple occasions. His courteous, professional and timely service has always proved most satisfactory and as a result, we recommend his services to all our prospective clients in his area.

Highly recommended! Our three horses were hauled from Carson City, Nevada to Tehachapi, California in September, 2010. During our move, Dan was so kind and caring, he even took time to help us load our pipe stalls. He was very patient loading our reluctant horses in his clean horse trailer, and he kept in touch with us during the transport. Our moving van was very slow, so he got to our new home with our horses a few hours before we did. He was kind enough to unload our horses and give them a good drink of water before he left. Such a wonderful feeling he left us with! We didn't have to worry about a thing. He is dedicated, knowledgeable, trustworthy and dependable. We are so lucky to have him as our horse transporter. We would highly recommend him and we will call upon him again. We thank him so very much!

Ford, my mustang, transported from Riverside, Ca to Alamo, Ca, arrived calm, safe and sound. You don't need to search any further. The rig is awesome and so is Dan.

In June, 2009, my horse, Sweet Prince William was shipped from northwestern New Mexico to his new home near Dallas, Texas during one of the hottest summers on record. Dan Yocum, owner of The Rocking Y Ranch in southern California delivered my 16.3 hand, 8 year old, off the race track Thoroughbred in superb condition. "Will" pranced down the ramp of Dan's trailer in excellent condition. Dan had stopped every hour to tend to the horses on board by spraying them with cool water, making sure the horses had lots of drinking water available and checking them for heat exhaustion.

You see, Dan is not only a hauler of horses, he is a horseman himself. He knows horses and he cares for their well being and comfort. I have spread the word to my hunter jumper / cross country / fox hunting friends here in north Texas about the Rocking Y Ranch and it's owner, Dan Yocum, who is the best, most caring and knowledgeable horseman in the business.

Dan has hauled several of my horses over the years. He is gentle and kind and his rig is spectacular. I trust him hauling my horses and would not use anyone else. He is a lover of the animal and my horses always have a great experience. They load with ease and are monitored by camera while being transported.

He is really fair in price and has the knowledge in all aspects of hauling horses. I would highly recommend Dan Yocum of Rocking Y Ranch to anyone needing a high quality ride for their horses. He has hauled for several of my friends who have also recommended him to their friends.

I have a lot of experience shipping my horse back and forth across the United States and I was very impressed with Dan’s operation. I recently moved my Dutch Warmblood Mare from Ridgecrest, California to Tucson, Arizona. My mare is a spirited girl, difficult loader, and anxious in the trailer. Dan was excellent. He arrived on time to the pick up location and was very courteous and professional. His truck and trailer were in excellent shape and prepared to haul my girl. He was patient and gentle with Ruby and she loaded without any problems. He called me on the road every few hours to let me know how Ruby was doing. He was able to watch her through the on board video capability and reassured me that Ruby was quite happy sightseeing, eating hay, and having a sip of water occasionally. He arrived on time to the delivery barn and Ruby unloaded in excellent shape. I will use Dan again for all of my hauling needs in the future. Thank you Dan!

We live in Nevada and have hired Dan Yocum to transport our Thoroughbred horses on a number of occasions. Dan is not only a knowledgeable horseman, but also possesses a natural calmness and caring demeanor that sets our minds at ease. He treated our horses as if they were his own. Dan's trailer is immaculate and large enough to accomodate 17+ hand horses in comfort. We were very pleased we made the choice to hire Dan versus a stock carrier. Each of our horses got the individual attention they needed and arrived safe, sound, and on time. We would not hesitate to recommend Dan Yocum to anyone needing horse transportation. He is truly a caring professional.

I have been using Dan's services for a number of years and I am extremely happy with the way he treats my horses while they are in his care. His trailer is clean inside and out and he always arrives at the barn on time and with a smile. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs their horses transported. Thank you, Dan!

I can't say enough good things about Dan. He transported my mare Fanny from San Juan Capistrano, California to Peoa, Utah (outside of Park City). Dan's phenomenal customer service and constant communication was exactly what I needed. I think I was more nervous moving Fanny than one of my kids! Dan made it easier than you can imagine and Fanny was in perfect condition upon arrival! Thanks Dan.

I would highly recommend Dan. He hauled our older race/hunter mare to Idaho, giving her plenty of breaks and an overnight rest. His rig was spotless and he kept in touch with phone calls. He is an experienced horseman and handles horses easily.
