We have the lowest prices in the area, check out the others, add up what you want for your party, add in their fuel charge, even after their discounts you'll find that we have lower prices than they do. Adults are welcome to ride. Why would you want to pay the outrageous prices the other companies charge? Save your money for the things that matter. We are here to give you an awesome fun day at a price that doesn't break you.

The Hugging Zoo animals in the petting zoo are child friendly and are handled daily by us. Ducks, Goats, Chickens, Rabbits, pot belly pig and a 21" tall horse. We also have a 5' Ball Python that we bring if you want it.

Pony Rides gives you a choice of 1 horse and 1 pony or 2 horses. Guests can ride as many times as they want. Our minimum party time is 1 hour, but we can do more if you need it.

Feather Hair Extensions are just like what you get at the salons and the theme parks. You can leave them in for several months. Shampoo, curling iron and brushing is okay.

Our ponies and horses are decorated with bells, hats, ribbons in their mane and tail and have party designs painted on them in vivid colors. You won't find prettier decorated horses anywhere else. Our horses and ponies are safe, your child will never be strapped to the saddle.

Please call us early to book your party as we are almost always booked 3 or 4 months in advance. We do parties 7 days a week including most holidays. Send us an email, we are happy to answer any questions you may have.

Influences

I have had horses since I was a child. I love to sit and watch them play together in the pasture. We have 9 horses that will always be with us and we usually have 2 or 3 rescue horses that we are trying to teach to love and trust humans again. We currently have 15 in the pasture.

Each and every one of them have their own personalities. Our littlest horse is only 21" tall and our biggest horse is 16.3 hands and the little one will stand up to him when he wants his way about something. He seems to think he's a clydesdale and does'nt worry that the other one can easity step on him and squash him.

Sharing the horses with kids at parties allows me to show them how very special a horse is. At every party we do, when we leave we know that there is at least one child, that for the rest of their life they will have a special love for horses. Once a horse has gotten into your heart it is a forever thing.

What to Expect

Typical Gig Duration: 60 - 300 minutes

When we come to do your party you can expect us to give our all to making it the best it can be for your child and their guests. My daughter and me are both animal lovers and we love to share that with all the kids we come in contact with. It is especally heart warming when I manage to talk a child into getting on the horse when they were fighting it with everyone who was trying to get them on. So far, every single one has been smiling and ready to ride again.

We get to see a lot of very special and heartwarming moments - the first time a child cuddles a bunny, when they feed a horse for the first time and find out how soft and gentle they are taking food from your hand, to see almost every child and a lot of the adults simply light up with smiles when they get up on the horse.


It is especially touching when we visit an elderly person with the horses or ponies. They will usually start to pet them and then they tell you about a horse or pony they remember having while growing up. You can see in their eyes that it's not something they had thought of in a long time and now it's not just a memory, it's almost real again. We all get teary eyed when we do visits to the elderly.

Stage/Setup Requirements:
Grass area for walking horses
No bare feet or open toed shoes
Over 20 miles from Bartow has a fuel charge of $2.00 per mile (one way)
Parking for Truck and Horse Trailer

Additional Notes:
We don't use mechanical walkers for the horses, each horse has a lead handler and a walk beside handler for safety. We would never tie a child to the saddle, if they can't sit up there safely then we walk and hold on to them. I make sure my daughter is a good role model to the kids. We take time with any child who wants to ask a million questions about the horse or tack and try to show them and explain what they want to know. I've been blessed to have a great husband and a daughter who knows right from wrong and to have all the animals we have to love and care for. It's a wonderful feeling to watch a child fall in love with a horse and know that they will never lose what the horse has given them.
