Why Choose The Cole Ranch for Horse Care?
Ranch History
The ranch was founded 60 years ago by Andy Williams and his older brother, Robert. Andy Williams is the famous singer who made ‘Moon River’ an American standard. The Williams brothers came from mid western farming stock and elected to invest in farming land in the California central valley. They developed the ranch to raise and show championship Arabian horses. In the end, the ranch ended up in the hands of Robert Williams and his wife. They lived on the ranch happily for the duration of their lives. It was purchased by Steve and Dana Cole in early 2005 who undertook extensive renovations and improvements.
