Welcome to Honey Creek Ranch

Honey Creek Ranch is dedicated to raising, breeding, showing, and providing a safe and loving environment to Tennessee Walking Horses and miniature horses.  We strive to provide proper nourishment, medical care and attention to all our horses whether they are ranch owned, on consignment or boarded.

Honey Creek Ranch was established in 2006 by Ron and Rosemary Russell, both of which have a love of horses going back to their childhood.  From this love of horses has grown a desire to operate a horse facility in which they can provide for horses in the manner they envisioned.

Both Ron and Rosemary are enthusiastic, fun-loving adventurers that have pursued several different types of excitement and/or sports during their 30 years of being together.  They are both certified pilots with Rosemary being single engine qualified and Ron with single and multi engine qualifications.  Both own, love and ride Harley Davidson motorcycles; Ron’s is a Street-Glide and Rosemary’s a Heritage.  They have traveled most of the states here in these wonderful United States of America and many foreign countries: South America, Central America, Europe, Africa and even a few trips to Australia, but all of this pales to the excitement and feeling of being they get in running Honey Creek Ranch.

After a 2005 retirement from a 40 year law enforcement career, where Ron worked as a patrol officer, crime scene photographer, undercover narcotics and vice officer, supervisors, warden and later in the private sector management for a private prison company,  Ron and Rosemary traveled throughout the West and Southwest searching for the perfect location to fulfill their dreams.  That dream came true when, by accident, they found the location where they began Honey Creek Ranch. 

Honey Creek Ranch is located just offState Hwy 49 near Hawkins Township in East Texas.   For those of you that have not been to the area of East Texas you might be surprised to know that East Texas is covered in woods.  Unlike West Texas, East Texas is miles and miles of pines and hardwood trees with ponds and lakes everywhere you look.

Lots of hills and valleys in East Texas and everything is green year-round.

Annual rainfall in East Texas exceeds 30 inches so there's no lack of water during a normal year.  

You don’t have to love horses to love the area so if you are traveling a road that might bring you through East Texas, stop and say howdy to the Russell’s at Honey Creek Ranch. Who knows, you might fall in love with the area as quickly as they did.
