FAQ about hiring a Pony Party

What can I expect from a pony party?

Pony parties consist of pony rides and, may sometimes allow for feeding, petting, and grooming as well. Handlers are always present to provide an educational experience and to ensure the guests’ safety. Be sure to ask your pony party provider in advance what specific interactions are available or allowed if you book their services.

How much do pony parties cost and what is included?

The cost of hiring a pony party company for your event, on average, ranges between $250-$350 an hour. But this can vary depending on your region, the number of guests at your event, the number of ponies requested, and the various party packages available. When discussing the details with the professional, pay close attention to what your quote includes, such as the number of ponies provided, their cleanup policy, cancellation terms, and any associated traveling costs. If you’re booking a pony party for a public event, you will want to check your city’s policies on animals in public spaces.

What age groups are appropriate for a pony party?

Pony parties are great for all ages! However, most ponies do have a maximum weight limit of 75-100 pounds. Also, young children are generally required to have an adult walk alongside them for their safety.

What supplies will I need to throw a pony party?

Generally, the only thing you need to have to throw a great pony party is a space for the ponies to walk around. Small yards or driveways are sufficient, and some quiet streets are often permissible as well.

Will my pets be a problem?

This depends on the specific pony party company you’re hiring. Some ponies are accustomed to other animals like dogs or cats, but others may be uncomfortable with pets around. To be safe, discuss this with the professional, and make sure you have a place to put your pets in case they interfere with the party.

What happens if it rains?

In most cases, pony party companies will have a rescheduling option available if it rains. Read over the booking agreement to ensure their cancellation policy covers your needs in the event of bad weather.

FAQ about starting a Pony Party business

Can I make money with a pony party business?

Yes! On average, pony party businesses make between $250-$350 an hour to provide their services at parties and private events. However, startup costs can be expensive. These include the cost and care of the animals, holding facilities, riding equipment, travel trailers, business insurance, and the appropriate permits and licenses.

How much equestrian experience do I need?

To provide the ultimate pony party experience, many years of experience is highly recommended. You want to be sure you and the ponies are comfortable with each other and that you’re prepared for any situation that may arise at an event.

What are the legal conditions of renting out ponies for parties?

To have a pony party business, you will want to have a business license and liability insurance. You will also need to check with the local government for zoning laws and ordinances that may require you to get a permit to operate in that specific locale.

How should I price my services?

Pricing your services is something you will want to do after you have figured the costs of starting your business. A reasonable profit should be between 10% and 30% after expenses. It’s also good to do market research to see what your competitors are charging so you can give a comparable pricing structure.

Why Book Pony Parties

While we can’t deny that clowns and magicians are amazing options for a party, there’s nothing like having a live cuddly pony in your backyard! A pony party is great for animal lovers of all ages. The little ones can saddle up on gentle ponies with professional handlers to lead them on a fun ride! Some pony parties even provide a cart to give rides to those who may be a little afraid of saddle rides. Throwing a princess party? Invite a “unicorn” or pretty pony with ribbons in their mane and tail! Pony parties are versatile and can work for events and themes of all types.
