We booked barn yard buddies for our daughters 1st birthday party and I am so glad we did. She had a blast, and let’s be honest so did the adults! All of the animals were so sweet and docile, and the owner of the company was so knowledgeable about each animal and was answering all of our questions. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!!
Response from Barn Yard Buddies:
Thank you so much for your kind words and letting us be part if her special day. She may be one of the bravest 1 year olds I have ever met.

A major hit at the party all the kids wanted pony rides great energy from both team members the interaction between them the kids and animals was amazing will book again soon ( just book them)
Response from Barn Yard Buddies:
Thank you so much for your kind words, We look forward to a long relationship between our furbabies and your family.
There are no words which can express adequately our gratitude for an experience so far outside the realm of the traditional petting zoo our family was able to experience with Barnyard Buddies. The story behind them is so personal, and due to a Veteran who personally discovered the value of healing through a love and commitment to animals in need. This was an invitation to engage with rescues, who in turn are not just part of a hired event, but which are now therapy animals for victims of tragedy, Veterans with PTSD, and chronic pain. All I can say, is that when Herbert and Herbie arrive, ask them about each animal and their story, and you will receive much more then an opportunity to love and hold these beautiful creatures, but to experience a life lesson in selflessness and grace applied in the most unusual of ways.
Response from Barn Yard Buddies:
It was our pleasure and honor to meet your family and share in your daughters special day. Animals don't hide how they feel and as you could tell they were loving every minute with your family and some didn't want too leave. Moolan was so surprisingly at home in your back yard and for her first day interacting with someone outside the farm she did amazing. I feel your family had a lot to do with that. we look forward to a long relationship with you and your family and thank you for allowing us to be part of your day.

This is a long overdue review. I booked Barn Yard buddies last year in 2019 for my daughters 5th birthday. Their quote was the most reasonable and you really get so much for the amount you pay. I was so pleased with their excellent customer service they where super friendly, punctual and professional. My daughter and her friends where so happy and amazed with all the animals. I have been recommending them to all my friends and will hopefully use them again in the near future. Thank you for the excellent experience.

It was our pleasure and we look forward to a long and happy relationship with your family and our farm.
The owners were nice but the kids were either to big or to small to go on a pony ride their was a lot of confusion in the beginning whether it was a pony or a unicorn, and which pony it was. Wasn’t able to get cute pictures the pony just wanted to eat the grass

They showed up with the unicorn and it was a showstopper!! The kids went wild and took plenty of rides and was a really Mohican experience for my daughter’s birthday! Can’t recommend them enough.

Response from Barn Yard Buddies:

Barn Yarn Buddies were beyond professional and made my nieces unicorn birthday party beyond special! They stayed extra long which the kids absolutely loved (ok and the adults) The animals were so cute and clearly well taken care of. The pony looked like a magical unicorn which was perfect for our theme! Thanks for making the party a day to remember!

My granddaughter had the best day of her life and getting to ride a real unicorn was a major part of it! Thank you and thank Cool Whip also
Response from Barn Yard Buddies:
Pamela and Cool Whip were honored to be able to make her day magical.
I booked them for my son's 5th birthday. My son and my daughter just loved the pony Cool Whip. My daughter cried when she had to Dismount from Cool Whip. The invited children to the party we're just thrilled about the ponies. I Was So Satisfied that I booked them for my daughter's birthday in August! Thank you so much! My son's birthday was a blast!
Response from Barn Yard Buddies:
It was our pleasure to share cool whip with your family. We can't wait to head back in a few months so she can ride her some more. They were both great kids and were so respectful and loving to the horses.

This was the easiest process ever! I booked them I had confirmation I was able to communicate details voice to voice with my vendor throughout the planning process. They arrived not only on time but a head of schedule which of course gave me great peace of mind they provided the service that I contracted them for the animals were healthy and groomed over all I would give them my absolute highest marks and my continued business.
They arrived early and were very nice. they have such beautiful ponies and even attached a unicorn horn on both for no cost. I will definitely be referring them and I will also be using their services again! Very affordable, best around.
Response from Barn Yard Buddies:
We had a blast and really enjoyed sharing our furbabies with your family and friends. Thank you for the kind words.
Thank you so much for making my daughter's 3rd birthday a big success. She was in heaven to ride the pony and pet all the animals, and all our guests had a blast. The flowers on the enclosure and on the pony were beautiful touches. The animals were all so calm and sweet, and oh my goodness how cute. Also the everybody very sweet and a pleasure to work with. Wonderful experience THANK YOU AGAIN!!!!!
Response from Barn Yard Buddies:
It was our pleasure. Wish we could have granted her wish to keep the unicorn but she is welcome to come visit any time.
I had a great experience with the 3 people who made our 1 year old granddaughters unicorn birthday very magical. The kids loved the ponies. We were so surprised to get not only one but 3 ponies... I would recommend very highly to anyone who asked.
My daughter turned 6 years old and all she wanted was a real unicorn to come to her birthday party. Barber Family Farm provided us with the perfect unicorn and even brought a “My Little Pony” as a special surprise! The animals are very beautiful, calm and gentle. Barber Family Farm provided excellent customer service with very prompt response to all our party needs. The birthday girl loved her birthday and we will definitely recommend Barber Family Farms to all. 🦄
Response from Barn Yard Buddies:
It was our honor to bring our magical friends to make her dreams come true. She is by far the unicorn expert of all the kingdom of Kern.
