jesse williams ranch

I celebrated my daughter's 8th birthday here and it was the most amazing experience. Everyone was very kind and attentive. The kids got to feed the animals and ride a horse. Also they have a variety of wildlife animals. We had our own private area. Great experience!!!

Jesse Williams Ranch is a beautiful place where you can enjoy with your family and friends an experience that you won't soon forget. The horses, the mini zoo, all the activities that go on in a farm and the wonderful, kind people you will find there make this trip not only a fun expedition but also a deeply educational one. It is free to walk around, but if you feel more adventurous, for a reasonable fee, you get to enjoy the fun of riding a horse! Do come wearing your old, comfy sneakers! Be ready to have fun and disconnect from the city.Mrs. Vargas

I was looking for a place to take my daughter for her seventh birthday. She loves horses and really wanted to spend her birthday at a place she could ride a horse. I called the ranch left a message and the owner himself returned my call. He was very informative and friendly. I coordinated a family tour of the ranch and a riding lesson for my Daughter. I took the whole family. A party of 14. They showed us around, to see some of the animals like the panther, deer, lemurs, zebra and of course the horses.We fed the horses carrots while they took my daughter to learn how to brush and prepare the horse for her lesson. The trainer that worked with her was great she had my daughter toting and giving the horse commands just a short time into her lesson. The owner Jesse was very attentive he kept making sure we were enjoying are visit and even gave my daughter a birthday gift "a Jesse Williams Ranch pink t-shirt". After the lesson was over we had a picnic. All in all it was an amazing day I am sure my daughter will never forget. We hadn't even driven away and she was already asking when we could return for another lesson. Definitely will be coming back soon!

My daughter has taken a few riding lessons here, she loved it so much she asked if she could have her birthday party here. We just had it this past weekend and it was wonderful, the instructors are great, very patient with the kids. The day was very relaxed, no pressure, everything at your own pace. Animals are beautiful and extremely well taken care of but the star here is Jesse. One of my daughters guests brought along her older brother who appeared uninterested, just sitting there with his earbuds on until Jesse noticed. He took time out to personally show the boy around and get him involved, I'm sure this turned into a day he will never forget. Jesse really is a wonderful person doing really great things for the community and our kids. Check them out, you'll be glad you did.

Jodie and Becky are the greatest instructors ever. We found this ranch by Google and to our surprise it was spectacular. They were not expecting us but we're kind enough to fit us in for a session. Both the boys fell in love with riding. I think they may be naturals. We will visit this place again.

I went.today with my son and we had a great time. I.found this place accidentally since I was going to.another one but I.coudnt enter. Lucky me.and my son that we found this gem, it is a nice place with almost a zoo inside. Jesse and Becky are awesome, and very friendly. I.would recommend.this place to.anybody trying.to.have a different outdoor activity. They are very hospitality and the place is.very clean and.organized. Jesse himself gave us a tour of the farm and he took my son to help him get out the horses. It was a great experience seeing all those animals that he has.

Jesse and his staff are great providing an excellent customer service. If you are looking for an unforgetable horse riding experience, this is the place to go. My son just loved it!Thank you Jesse and riding instructor, Monica!

We were delighted with the hospitality of the Jesse Williams Ranch. You really can stop by any time. But be sure to bring a BIG bag of carrots. There were so many animals to feed, our bag lasted just a few minutes. You will be amazed at the unexpected type of animals you will find there. A true gem in the city!

Crazy animal collection and awesome skilled riding instruction. We had a great time- kids and adults. Definitely going back when we can.

Looking for a fun place with animals to take my 5 year old niece and a friend recommended Jessie Williams Ranch. Wow! Never expected to see so many animals in one place. Beautiful horses, goats, sheep, exotic hens, birds, monkeys, an alligator and OMG, a Florida Panther. What a find. Will be back with more carrots for the horses.

Awesome experience at Jesse's ranch. Haven't rode a horse for a long time and needed to get some of the rust off. After a tour of his mini zoo with all types of exotic animals Jesse put me on his personal horse and gave a thorough riding lesson. Many thanx Jesse.

On Wednesday August 13, 2014 we took our granddaughter to Jesse Williams Ranch for her first riding lesson in Miami, Ava who is 9 years old started riding at 6 but only about 5 times a year for a total of 15 lessons over the last 3 years ...she has had several wonderful instructors over that time period. When she met Mr. Williams they hit it off instantaneously. After getting her horse ready and walking it out with Mr. Williams they started a lesson that included many objectives that Ava had not done and many that she was very familiar with . Within 3 minutes Ava was trotting and posting around the ring and having the time of her life on a beautifully trained Pinto from Mr Williams barn. We found Jesse to be kind, considerate and extremely knowledgeable and above all both safety and fun oriented. We strongly recommend his riding academy.Point of interest for those who do not ride there is a petting a viewing animal area that is really fun for young and old Marc Firestone

I did my daughter's birthday party there. We had an amazing time great place for child's very safe, the people are like family.

I took my children to the ranch this past sunday and they had the best time ever! Jodi & Jymie gave us a tour of the animals around the ranch. They showed the children how to feed the horses and deer and waited for each child to have a turn. They told them about the different types of animals and what they eat. The kids got to ride a horse named Shalom Aleichem (Shakespeare) with braids. It was LOADS OF FUN! I highly recommend the JESSE WILLIAMS RANCH to anyone visiting FLORIDA, it is a wonderful day outing worth repeating!! FYI They also give horseback riding lessons.

For months we wanted our kids to get a closeup view of Gods creatures and enjoy the beauty of nature. We were warmly welcomed at the ranch by Jesse and Jodi and they provided a hands on experience for the kids. They explained about the origins of each of the animals and made the children feel comfortable with the animals. The kids got to feed the animals too. We finished our day with the kids enjoying horseback riding. Best memories and personal service we loved it. I would really recommend this beautiful ranch to everyone!!!Thanks Jesse
