Each party typically includes pony rides, grooming activities, and educational talks about horse care and safety. The service is particularly popular for its professional handlers who ensure both safety and entertainment throughout the event. **What to Bring** Closed-toe shoes are essential for all children participating. Comfortable clothes that can get a bit dusty. Camera for memorable photos with the ponies. **Best Age Range** Best suited for children aged 3-10 years old. Younger children love the gentle nature of the ponies, while older kids enjoy learning about horse care and more hands-on grooming activities. **Good to Know** Bookings required well in advance, especially for weekend parties. Service operates year-round but may cancel in extreme weather conditions. Requires adequate space for ponies and safe vehicle access to your chosen venue. Most popular during school holiday periods. **Tips From Other Parents** Book at least 3-4 weeks ahead for weekend slots as they fill up quickly. Let the team know about any children who might be nervous around animals so they can provide extra attention. Have wet wipes handy as kids love to pat and brush the ponies.
