What better way to mark a special occasion or birthday than having a pony party?
Look no further than ponies for a party!!!
Have pony rides, cart rides and wagon rides at your party or event.
What better birthday party entertainment is there than party ponies.
Having a pony party can provide a great memory for years to come!!

Pony Rides have provided the perfect child birthday party entertainment for years and now it is affordable enough for any one!!
Your kids are worth a birthday pony ride!!!

Our pony rides are hand guided for the best experience possible. Our ponies are gentle and well mannered. We provide kind professional handlers so you can sit back and relax.

A unique advantage our company offers is that we provide two ponies for the same price that most businesses charge for one. We want the children to experience the joy of riding on a pony, not standing in line.

Nothing is more fun than a pony party!!
Except MAYBE a THEMED pony party!!!
If you give us plenty of advance notice we can accommodate any
party theme even as far as having the ponies in costume.

All horses whether they are Clydsedales, Quarter Horse, Mustangs, Ponies, Shetlands, or Miniatures are the same species of animal. All horses (including zebras) belong to the genus equus. Technically speaking they could interbreed. As such, each of the different breeds of horses are a result of selective breeding for specific traits over many generations. Miniatures are selectively bred for their small size while other breeds such as Paint and Apploosa Horses are selectively bred for distinctive color patterns.
