Pony parties consist of pony rides and may sometimes allow for feeding, petting, and grooming as well. Handlers will be present to ensure everything runs smoothly and your little guests stay safe. Be sure to ask your party provider in advance what specific interactions are available or allowed if you book their services.
While most companies will specialize in ponies exclusively, others might offer additional farm animals and furry friends as well. Browse profiles on GigSalad for both pony parties and local petting zoos to see what might be available for your special occasion.
On average, pony rides cost $250-$350 for one hour. This price can vary depending on your location and the number of guests or riders. When discussing your event with the pony professional, pay close attention to what your quote includes. Look for information on the number of ponies provided, their cleanup policy, cancellation terms, and any associated travel costs.
If you’re booking a pony party for a public event, check your city’s policies on animals in public spaces.
While pony parties are great for all ages, most ponies do have a maximum weight limit of 75-100 pounds. And younger children are generally required to have an adult walk alongside them for their safety. But even those who can’t ride can still pet and interact with the ponies!
Pony parties are a hit with most children, making them a great entertainment option for a birthday party, festival, school fair, or any other outdoor celebration.
Generally, all you need to have to throw a great pony party is enough space for the ponies to walk around. Small yards or driveways are sufficient, and some quiet streets are often permissible as well.

Some ponies are accustomed to animals like dogs or cats, but others may be uncomfortable. To be safe, discuss this with the professional in advance, and make sure you have a place to put your pets in case they interfere with the party.
In most cases, pony rental 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.

Interacting with and riding ponies can be a dream come true for many children! Consider booking a pony ride for your little one’s birthday party to let them and their friends all have a turn. You can also have ponies at your fair or festival and sell tickets for each ride. Or, if you’re looking for a more educational experience, have a pony party company bring ponies to your school or library for a show and tell.
The cost of pony ride services will vary depending on travel fees, the number of ponies you need, and any additional activities that might be provided. Some companies offer party packages that include pony rides as well as lessons on care and grooming for a more educational experience. They may also have other petting zoo animals for guests who cannot ride ponies. Contact the local pony party companies above to get customized quotes for your event.
When searching for pony parties, look through profiles to see photos of the horses they offer and read reviews from past clients. This will help you learn more about their services and previous experience with events like yours. When talking with the pony handler, be sure to cover important details like space requirements, cleanup policies, and guest details like the number, age, and size of the riders. Most pony party companies offer mini horses which will have weight restrictions. If you’re planning a public event, you should also check your local regulations regarding bringing ponies or farm animals to your venue.
