Safety is our first priority we never compromise! Our ponies have been around children for many years, they are used to screaming kids, barking dogs, traffic noises, popping balloons, loud music and anything else that may come about at an event. Although they are very safe, try to keep in mind that they are animals, with a mind of their own. It is best to have low key activities going on while the pony is working with you.
Care is taken at all times to ensure the safety of both the children and the animals. Staff persons are careful to instruct the children and their parents on how to behave around the animals.
Remind the children not to crowd the pony upon arrival. He just needs a minute to check out his surroundings.
Try to have an area specifically for the rides where children won’t be running through -it’s just safer.
Do not walk behind or run up to pony.
Take care to watch children with bare feet so they don’t accidentally get stepped on.
There is always 2 experienced handlers per pony, ( One walks the pony and the other holds the child ).
Steps for easy mounting or we can pick child up for mounting.
No double riding.
No eating or drinking while riding, the pony needs your child’s undivided attention.
All saddles and tack are cleaned plus safety checked, before, during and after events.
All feces will be removed from your premises before we leave.
We are fully insured.
Ponies are fully vaccinated and Coggins tested yearly.
Health Certificates are available for larger events if necessary. A 4-6 week notice prior is recommended. A fee may apply.
Feet are trimmed regularly and worming medicine given as prescribed.
Please keep all dogs leased or inside, most dogs have not seen a pony and may think it is just a large dog. If they get close they could get hurt.
Depending on the event there could be a weight restriction, try to keep in mind they are ponies not a full size horse.
