History of our Farm

Welcome to Williams Pony Express, your favorite local horse farm where the hay is always green and the ponies are always up to some shenanigans! Way back when in 1983, Dan and Lori Williams decided to start Williams Belgians, raising draft horses and giving hay rides that were more fun than a barrel of monkeys.

Now, we've shifted gears to ponies, starting with the adorable Louise. She charmed us so much, we couldn’t resist adding four more to the mix! We love being part of the community, so whether you spot us at the fair, in parades, or just want to swing by for a laugh and a chat, we’re always ready to share some horseplay!

Pony PaRties & Cart Rides

Get ready to saddle up for some serious fun! Whether you want to trot around our delightful farm or have a pony party right in your backyard, we’ve got you covered. Perfect birthdays or just because you feel like being a cowboy (or cowgirl) for a day! Book your pony party and let the neigh-sayers know you’re about to have a blast!

4-H Programs

Why not take our ponies to the fair and strut your stuff for a chance to snag some bragging rights? Our well-trained, gentle ponies are so friendly that even your grandma would want to ride them—perfect for all ages, especially now that our kids have flown the coop!

Ask Us About It

We've got big horses too

We started our farm with some seriously impressive Belgian horses—because who doesn’t want to start a with a little horsepower? We still ride these gentle giants, and trust us, they’re way more fun than a tractor! Swing by, and you’ll get to meet Ruben and Daisy, our wranglers who are basically the horse whisperers of the farm (or at least they like to think so). Come on over and join the fun—there’s never a dull moment around here!
