Ranch Adventure Birthday Party (Recommended for kids ages 4-8)

$400 (Duration of approximately 2.5 hrs.) 1.5 hours with the ponies, 1 hour to party!

After matching kids to ponies/horses, the kids will get to do some grooming, tack up and head out for an adventure!  You will need to provide at least 4 adults who can comfortably lead ponies (if you are unable to provide adults, please let us know so that we can get our wranglers to assist – at an additional cost).

Pony Play Birthday Party (Recommended for kids ages 2-4)

$350 (Duration of approximately 2 hrs.) 1 hour with the ponies, 1 hour to party!

After we match these tiny humans to their tiny ponies, they will get some time to brush and love on their pony, then we tack up, hop on and go for a beautiful walk in the tree pasture (you will need to provide at least 4 adults who are able to lead ponies)!  The kids will pause to pose on the step up rock with their trusted steed, look for the silly faces in the trees and wave to the big horse herd in the next pasture!

 

 

Horse Wrangler Birthday Package (Recommended for kids ages 9+)

$450 (Duration of approximately 2 hrs.) 1 hour in the arena/round pen, 1 hour to party!

After matching these big kids to their horse or pony, we will head to the arena to teach the kids how to wrangle!  They will do some team mounting and dismounting games, leading each other around to gain confidence and once they’re up to it, some riding relays.  If the children have previous riding experience, we will change up the games to make them more challenging!

Bunkhouse Garden Birthday Package
$250 (Duration of 2-3 hrs.)

Are you looking for an outdoor venue to host a gathering?  We have the beautiful bunkhouse garden and BBQ area available!  We have tables and chairs, a BBQ, we can put some grazing ponies in there, duck parades occur at random times and without warning, the rabbits might want to join your party, streaking by in their birthday suits, the chickens have low standards and can be easily lured with finger food!

This a great option for a family gathering or for young kids who want the small animal experience!
