Birthday Parties
We come to your event with our beautiful Welsh Ponies and/or Miniature Horses and provide a minimum of one hour of led pony rides. Young children just love our ponies and having a pony in your own home or other venue of your choice is a great way to introduce your child to the amazing world of horses. The age group we cater for is 1 - 10 year olds.
As well as riding, children will experience grooming, petting, decorating and feeding the ponies which are great activities to build your child's confidence around horses. There will be a special personalised gift for the birthday girl or boy and grooming gear and treats are provided for the ponies.
Our riding ponies wear a special saddle with a handle for children to hold on to while riding. For safety purposes, a protective NZ Safety Standard approved helmet must be worn by the children when riding and we also ask that children wear suitable footwear around the ponies. Our handlers are experienced in all aspects of pony care and safety and our ponies are gentle natured, friendly, well mannered and immaculately presented.
Our Miniature Horses have a rider weight limit of approx 16kg and are generally for 1-3 year olds which is to protect the health and well being of our precious little horses.
We cater for children 4-10 years with our stunning Welsh Ponies so when booking your childs party please advise the childs age to ensure we bring the right pony for the occasion.
