Once all of your guests have arrived, the children will be gathered for a safety talk about how to behave around the ponies.

We will then go and meet your grooming ponies. These are usually some of our miniature Shetlands who love lots of fuss and cuddles.

We have a selection of brushes for the children to use to groom the ponies. This is perfect for any nervous children to gain their confidence around the ponies before riding. Children love the opportunity to get stuck in and give our ponies lots of love.

If you have chosen to add a unicorn to the party this is when they are introduced. We will gather the children to tell them we have a special guest and then the unicorn will appear. We allow plenty of time for all children to meet the unicorn and for parents to take plenty of photos before getting saddled up and joining the riding ponies.

The birthday girl/boy will get the choice to ride first and choose 1-2 friends to ride at the same time. We make sure every child has at least one ride.

The ponies will be led by an experienced handler at all times, and support can be offered also for any younger or unbalanced children. Parents are welcome to join us and walk alongside should their child require. We pride ourselves in having an excellent, encouraging team to make sure they feel safe and secure at all times. Ensuring any nervous children come back with big smiles once they realise what a great experience it is.

Once the riding has begun, we then bring out the decorations for the ponies. We have bows, coloured hair pieces, hair clips and plaiting bands for the children to decorate their manes and tails. This ensures everyone is occupied whist they wait for everyone to have a ride

The highlight of the party is usually the GLITTER!!

We paint the ponies hooves with hoof oil, which is great for keeping their hooves nice and healthy. The glitter is then sprinkled over the ponies hoof and sticks to the oil to give them sparkly magical toes.

For the shorter package, the children are taken to the party room to wash their hands ready to be handed back over to the parents for food, drink and cake celebrations.

For the longer package, after the grooming and decorating, and once every child has ridden, we will gather in one of our paddocks for the games. These can be mounted or on foot, usually done in two teams and adds another opportunity to ride.

Each party time includes 45 mins for food and cake in our party room

If you would like to stay longer than the included 45 mins you are more than welcome at extra cost. Please arrange this at the time of booking.

You are welcome to bring your own buffet food and drinks for your guests or we can arrange pack lunches, made by our local farm shop. This will also need to be arranged at the time of booking.

There will be lots of laughter and fun! There will be lots of glitter and potentially mud, please dress your child suitably for the weather conditions and always wear enclosed footwear around our ponies!

Siblings not participating are welcome to stay and play in the party room garden area and watch should they wish. Parents are welcome to drop their children off and leave if they wish, equally if they wish to stay and watch their child, they are more than welcome.

PLEASE NOTE: If parents do not stay, please ensure you have their emergency contact details should we need them.

We will always try our best to cater to your requirements. Larger or smaller parties can be arranged, and additional children can be added to party packages for £35pp.

If you have any questions or additional requests, please feel free to get in touch. We hope to see you soon!
