How
it Works...
Our ponies and petting
zoo come right to you!
You can get just a pony, just a petting
zoo or a combination of the two.
We arrive a few minutes early to set
up and you get a full hour (or more if you want it) with the
animals.
Small animals such
as bunnies, ducks and chickens go in a small pen and the kids go right in
the pen with them.
Larger animals like sheep, goats and pigs are on
leashes.
The kids get to feed, pet and brush all the animals.
Older kids can walk the bigger animals on their leashes.
If
they're available, we try to bring our baby goats or lambs that take baby
bottles.
Our staff
makes sure everyone gets their share of hugging, brushing,
feeding and
petting!
Our staff always walks right alongside
the children on the pony where they can chat with the child and make sure
they're having a great time.
How
Many Ponies Do You Need and For How Long...
We can ride about 20 - 25 kids in an
hour.
Most folks need one hour with the animals. This
usually fits nicely into any party schedule, including quickie two-hour
parties.
Additional time is
available if needed.
On occasion we do shorter parties, but it must
fit into our existing schedule.
My Yard Isn't That Big...
Don't
worry, ponies can work in nearly any size yard
-- even as small a space
as a 2-car garage is fine.
Petting Zoos can be set up in a very small area.
Usually at least 8 x 8 gives plenty of room for the animals
and all the kids.
Prices...
Party prices vary by location, length of stay and type of animals invited.
Please email us at
partygals@piedpiperponyrides.com or call the office at
914-763-6925 or 203-431-8322 to discuss your
party details.
Payments and Deposits...
A 50% non-refundable
deposit is required upon booking.
Rain Policy...
We
come out rain or shine - it's hard to tell a child they're party is off just
because of rain!
In light rain we bring umbrellas and still do rides as long
as you provide a dry place for the kids to wait.
Petting zoos will be substituted for pony rides in the event
that we cannot do the rides because of the weather.
Petting zoos can be
set up in any sheltered area such as a garage, under a tent or under a covered deck.
If you postpone or cancel your party for weather or any other reason we try to find
you another date. However, an additional non-refundable deposit will
be required. Holding rain dates would deny others the use of our service.
Fairs &
Fundraisers...
We love doing fairs and
fundraisers. We do not collect money for individual rides. We charge you a flat rate or hourly basis for our
services.
This gives you the opportunity to charge how you like for
the rides.
Pony rides are a fabulous attraction, bringing in
lots of folks who might not attend your event but for the fact that their
child will get to ride on a pony.
