What qualifies us to be "The Ultimate Party Place"?

With a combined 40 years of experience in all areas of animal husbandry, we have a wealth of knowledge to pull from and a flawless safety record. The Crew and I have experience to determine which ponies are uniquely qualified to be great Party Ponies. We are also parents and know what will make a great party to keep the little ones busy and entertained.

How can I pay??

We have several payment options. By Cash, Check ( Please put Driver license and Date of Birth on the check, thank you in advance),Certified Check, Money Order or Pay Pal.


Is my child too young or too old?

From newborn's to adult's - we have something special for you. We work hard to ensure an age appropriate party. This is why we ask approximate weight, ages and # of children expected to attend the event.

How do I decide how many ponies I need???

We strongly suggest adding a second pony for every 15 children. Please keep in mind that the birthday child often loves to have his/her own "special pony" that they can ride the entire time. You can also always add a petting zoo or a Moonwalk to keep the kids busy.

Are you insured and licensed??

Yes we are. We have a two-million dollar Liability Insurance Policy for your peace of mind. A copy is available upon written request. However, it is recommended that the host provide an additional policy or rider to their current policy to address specific issues and risks related to the event. We are state regulated and licensed by the federal government with a class "C" exhibitor license from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Our farm also complies with the centers of animal disease control and animal welfare act "AWA" regulations. We want to assure you that our animals are well cared for and our veterinarian checks on us frequently. Our pets live in a clean, safe and natural environment, roaming free on our 65 acre ranch. Take comfort in knowing our animals are at their optimum in health and are clean when we come to your event.

Is the class "C" license required?

Yes, it is a federal crime to conduct a petting zoo for profit or not, without a class "C" license. Please make sure that the company you hire has a class "C" license, it is the LAW.

Are the petting zoo animals friendly??

Yes!! All of our animals have been hand raised. Many of them have worked with us for years. They enjoy being held and loved on. They are our babies & live here on the farm with us. They are hand fed two times a day. This allows constant interaction and love. We do not buy or sell our animals at auction, nor do we "ship" any of our animals. Purchases are from respected USDA licensed breeders and are personally picked up - not "shipped". Many of our animals are bred and raised here on the farm. We do occassionally offer babies for sale to approved family homes.

I have a dog, will that be a problem??

Our ponies and petting zoo animals are used to dogs and other animals. Your animals most likely are not used to our ponies in their environment. So that your pets will remain happy and not stressed, you may want to put them somewhere they feel safe. We request that dog's not be allowed in the petting zoo area for the health & safety of our babies.

What happens if we have bad weather on the date of my event?

While we cannot control the weather, we can always substitute the Petting zoo for Ponies and set it up in a garage. Or, we will be happy to reschedule your event, whichever you would like. If the event is scheduled here at the ranch, we do have a 4,000 sq ft barn on a concrete slab that the ponies, petting zoo & the Moonwalk can be moved to.

How long does the set up take? Is it included in the hour?

The ponies are ready to go when we arrive. Depending on how far we have to carry zoo animals, is how long it takes to set up. Your party starts when the first ride starts or the first animal is being cuddled and loved. If we are late due to traffic or other uncontrollable reasons, you will still get an entire hour of entertainment!

I don't have a back yard, how much space do you need?

Our ponies and or petting zoo can work just about anywhere, a front yard, sidewalk, parking lot or side yard. They have traveled far and wide. We don't need much space to make your child's dream come true.

When should I reserve the party?

As soon as you have decided on a day and time. We will write you down on our schedule as soon as we receive your deposit and signed contract. Prices and availability are not guaranteed until booked. We book up to a year in advance & space is limited - so please, don't wait until it's too late! Contact us today!

Do you only do birthday parties?

NO! We are also available for: School Field Trips & Carnivals, DayCare Events, Educational Programs, Church Functions: Natavity scenes & Carnivals, Anniversaries, Weddings, Business promotions, Grand openings, Holiday events and Fund raisers.
