A: The 1 hour will provide rides for up to 10 children with the 1 Riding Pony or the Cart for the $200.00.
You can add a 1/2 hour more for up to 5 more kids for an additional $75.00
Or Another pony for $75.00
The price of $275.00 we bring the one riding pony for 45 minutes and the cart for the last 45 minutes. 1 1/2 Hours Total for parties with 15 or more kids, they will get plenty of rides during this time.The kids have a better time because they get to ride with their friends on the cart.
We also bring our small mini mare for the kids to brush during the WHOLE party while waiting for their turn to ride for every package at no additional charge.
Q: Is my little one too little to ride?
A: No! Little ones can ride too.We have had young as 7 months old for a ride.Our ponies are gentle and friendly. Also, parents are more than welcome to walk right next to their little ones, holding them securely on the oppisite side of us.We also off the cart so both kids and adults can share the fun together!
Q: Is there a weight limit?
A: Yes. Our mini can carry up to 60 pounds easily & we also have larger ponies that can carry more weight.You just need to let us know your needs. We have 15 horses and can accommodate any party.
Q: What happens if the pony goes "poop" during my party?
A: Ponies do this. When this happens, we will clean this up at the end of the party but if it's a distraction we will clean it up right away.
Q: Can we feed the pony?
A: YES. We will provide small buckets the kids can use so they won't get small little fingers bitten. Our ponies love carrots & apples as long as they are not given too much.
Q: How much space do we need for the pony?
A: Not a lot of space is needed. We will do pony rides up and down your sidewalk, or in your front yard or back yard. The more space the better, but we can work around what you have.
Q: Do I need to stay around you during the party?
A: No, your job is to do what ever is needed on your end. We allow the kids to experience getting on and off by themselves, we will help them if they need it. I find the kids really enjoy this and the ponies don't mind. It's cute to see them towards the end of the party how well they have picked this up. I personally think this in the best part of having the ponies at the party. The kids truly get hands on experience. Please remember we also offer lessons at our place.We hand out businees cards to you and our guest about our lessons programs and our horse show oppertunities.
Q: May the kids ride double?
A: No! We do not allow this.If one child falls off they usually will pull the other one off with them.
Q: What if it rains or snows on the day of our party? Is our deposit refunded?
A: Yes , as long as it's raining or snowing the day of your party. We don't allow you to cancel just because it doesn't work out for you.Your deposit will not be refunded in that case. We will allow you to reschedule for another day though if you need to cancel for any reason as long as we are not booked for that day.
Q: How can we pay?
A: By cash or check.
Q: We have a dog, will he bother the pony or zoo animals?
A: Please keep all dogs inside or put away for the duration
of the event. If there is a loose dog,
the pony will be stopped until the dog is put away. Excited dogs charging
the pony, nipping the
pony's heels, etc. ARE a SERIOUS safety hazard. This is for the safety of
the children, the pony
and the dog.
Q: When do you arrive?
A: We arrive about 10 to 15 minutes for set up.Our ponies come saddled and ready to ride once we arrive.If you want us to start early then the time starts then and we will leave early as well.

Q: Do you offer ballon twisting or face painting?
A: No, we are lined up with professional companies that do this and the information is provided on our website. We feel you are paying for pony rides and plenty of rides is what we give you.
Q: We are planning a large festival, do you offer discounts for Churches,
etc?
A: No we don't. Our prices are very resonable.
Q: We are having a pool party too, is that OK?
A: Wet Bathing Suits: If you are also having a water slide
/ pool party on the day of your event,
please make sure that all of the children are dry before riding the pony.

not be allowed on the saddle so a towel should be provided by EACH child.
