Having a party/event at your place?  Having a school function/festival and want to add horses to the fun?  Want a horse to come to your summer camp?  We can come to you.  All our horses need is PLENTY of room to walk around in, an enclosed area like a fenced yard, and plenty of easy access parking for the truck & trailer.  Our horses are gentle as lambs and are well seasoned for all the chaos.  Having a horse means the limit of riders is expanded.  Ponies can only carry up to 40-50 pounds.  Horses can hold more. (Kids under 17-under only) 


Weather is a factor for travel and safety reasons. If cancellations are made for any reason, you will be allowed to try again.  If cancellation was made PRIOR to horses being loaded & traveling, another $50.00 travel deposit will NOT be required to try again.  If the cancellation is made while horses are on the road or at your venue, then an additional $50.00 travel deposit will be required, Unless you decide to have it at our place where NO DEPOSITS are ever required.  

​We know a couple of awesome horse- themed cake makers so be sure and ask us for their numbers... 


FOR EVERYONE'S SAFETY:  PLEASE NO BALLOONS, ALCOHOL, OR OPEN-TOE SHOES

Having a party/event at our place is so easy for you.  Similar to going to the skating rink or bowling alley, you only have to handle the gifts/cake/food aspect of your party...we do the rest.  We have a giant arena and bleachers and music playing for you over our loudspeakers.  Lots of parking and easy access to water/electricity/porta potties (we guarantee  them to be clean as a whistle). 


Our horses are gentle as lambs and are well seasoned for all the chaos.  Having a horse means the limit of riders is expanded.  Ponies can only carry up to 40-50 pounds.  Horses can hold more and we limit up to 180 lbs.    (Kids under 17-under only for a party please.) 


​​No deposit required for a party/event at our place.    Weather is not much of a factor.  Cancellations are mainly up to the Host/Hostess and can be rescheduled at NO ADDITIONAL COSTS.  Dangerous  weather conditions during the event will cause us to stop and will NOT RESULT in a PARTY PAYMENT refund.  Don't worry though,  we will let you come back and try again if you didn't get at least half the time out there prior to stopping.  


FOR EVERYONE'S SAFETY:  PLEASE NO BALLOONS, ALCOHOL, OR OPEN-TOE SHOES
