Wes Lawson - owner, horse transportation
Wes grew up in the horse business. Wes's father, the late W.G. Lawson Sr., owned and
operated Rolling L Ranch & Lawson Park Stables on Old Brownsville Road in the sixties &
early seventies. Wes was always busy with the farm chores. Transporting the horses just
meant he could use the truck, an added plus since horsepower is his first love. He had no idea
it would become a lifelong endeavor. Having lived with the horses virtually in his back yard,
Wes is well aware of how important it can be to get your horse somewhere in an emergency.
Wes keeps the fleet of trucks & trailers ready to roll at a moment's notice.
