  • We don't have shade for the animals, is that O.K.?
    No worries! If it is a longer event and the weather will be real sunny/warm that day, we will try to set up pop-up tents so the animals have some shade!
  • We have a dog, will he/she bother the animals?
    Our ponies are used to being around dogs, however most dogs do not know what a pony is and have never seen one. For your children, guests, and our ponies' safety, we ask that you please keep all dogs kept inside preferably (or contained in a fenced yard). Our German Shepherd has been out with our ponies to get them used to being around dogs! The petting zoo animals are not very familiar with what a dog is so for their safety we also ask that any dogs be put away from the animals. Some dogs do not know that our animals are scared. Dogs tend to be playful which can scare our bunnies, piglets, goats, and birds.
  • Who cleans up if the animals go to the bathroom?
    Accidents can happen but no worries, we clean up after our animals the best we can! We try to clean up immediately after an "accident" occurs so the smell doesn't linger long and so nobody steps in it. We also have let people keep the manure for gardens or any other needs, we do not mind! Some animals are harder to clean up after (EX: rabbits, goats, chickens, ducks, turkeys) so we cannot guarantee that every last drop will be picked up.
  • Do you bring the animals to a private residence?
    Yes! That is the main location we come to, your home! Public locations are also places we will go to as long as you have permission that the animals can be there.
  • Can we feed the animals ?
    Most ponies love treats and food more than life itself, and most children enjoy feeding them! We have special rules for feeding ANY of our animals. Please inform guests to not feed our ponies prior to our arrival (if we are a surprise, we will share it with everybody). At the end of your party, our staff can provide special treats that the children may feed the ponies, but only under supervision. (Little fingers can look like carrots to a pony if they are not fed properly.) When it is time for feeding, we will have children line up and wait their turn to feed the pony their treat! One at a time will go up. If you would like to provide a special treat for the animals, please discuss that with us before-hand so we can assure the correct treat is purchased!
  • What are the weight limits on your ponies?
    Our largest pony can hold up to 100 pounds. The smaller ponies hold up to 80 pounds. Weight is not the only factor though; height can make balance very hard on our smaller ponies. We recommend that if the child riding is tall (typically above 5 feet tall) then you request our larger pony. If the children are all small then please let us know, we like to use our smaller ponies for smaller children.
  • How long does it take for you to set up?
    We try to arrive at least 10 minutes early depending on what we have to set up or figure out where we will be placed for events! Set up depends on what all we have with us for your event (petting zoo, pony rides, etc.)
  • Do you have an age restrictions to have a party?
    There are no age restrictions and we have done many parties for clients ages a few months old to 100! Our ponies are for small children to ride on!
  • What happens if the weather isn't in our favor the day of our event?
    We will still come rain or shine unless it is a threat for our animals & the people in attendance. If there is time, we can hangout until it becomes clear or reschedule if that also is an option. We have done events in snow before also! If Pony Parties cancels on you, ALL of your money is refunded to you. If you cancel on us, the deposit is NON-REFUNDABLE.
  • Is there a minimum number of children required?
    There is no minimum numbers required. We are happy to set up for 1 or 1,000 children. We do private birthday parties or public events of all sizes!
  • If I have a small yard, can I still have a Pony Party ?
    Yes! Our ponies are able to give pony rides in front yards, backyards, side yards, up and down driveways, sidewalks, quiet streets, cul-de-sacs, parking lots, or even at the nearest local park or church!
  • Can we take pictures?
    Of course! Please feel free to take as many pictures as you would like!
  • We fertilize our grass, is this a concern?
    Yes .... Please do not schedule a party until at least 7-10 days after your yard has been fertilized or treated with any kid of chemicals or insecticides. The ponies LOVE to eat grass and we do not want them sick from any chemicals!
  • What happens if we have to cancel you coming?
    That is unfortunate but certainly understandable. Any deposit collected is non-refundable. However, if you paid in full, the payment (minus deposit) will be refunded to you. If there is an option to reschedule then we can certainly discuss the dates available for rescheduling.
  • What is the deposit amount?
    We require a $50 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit to officially book your date/time.
  • How far in advance do I need to book?
    Great question! We recommend that as soon as you know your party's date and time, to book! We are very popular. Booking in advance will assure you get the date and time you want. Most of our events are "first come, first serve" so whoever gets a deposit to us first will have that slot reserved!
  • When is the rest of the payment due?
    The remaining balance owed for each event is due by the time we arrive for your event.
  • How do we book you?
    In order to book an event with us you must contact us with all of your event details (duration, location, which animals you want us to bring, etc) and if the date/time is available we will then discuss the deposit!
  • What payment methods do you accept?
    We accept PayPal, Venmo, CashApp, Zelle, or actual cash. We try to stay away from personal checks due to having a lot of "bad" one's previous years. Checks from a VALID business are acceptable. We are unable to take credit/debit cards at this time.
  • How much is the deposit required to book our date/time?
    The deposit is $50 NONREFUNDABLE.
