Questions & Answers

*Is there an age limit?
 
Children of all ages can enjoy our ponies. There is no age limit, only a weight limit on some of our ponies.  If your child is very young, the parent will be asked to walk along side the pony while the child rides. If you have older kids or parents who want to ride, please request a horse, at no extra charge.

*What if it rains, where do you ride the ponies?
 
We will lead the ponies in the indoor arena.

*Why do you request that we carpool?
 
Our parking lot is very limited, and there will be other boarders here, as well as your party.  If possible, limiting your party to 10-12 cars would be much appreciated.

*How many ponies should I have for my party? 
 
We suggest 1 pony for every 7-10 kids, we want to ensure everyone gets lots of riding, (10-20 kids = 2 ponies, 20-30 kids = 3 ponies).

* Do you have operation hours?
 
No, we operate by appointment only. If you show up unannounced, we may not  be available to assist you.  Please do not be disappointed!  Just call 1-800-753-7669 or email to make an appointment or schedule a tour of our facility.

*What type of shoes should riders wear?
 
It is suggested that anyone who is planning on riding a horse or pony wear a closed-toe shoe or a boot with a heel to keep your foot secure in the stirrup . Long pants are also a good idea. Shorts and skirts can cause chafing.

*Can we bring our own food?
 
Yes, you should bring your own food and drink, your own utensils and plates and cups. We will provide tables and tablecloths, which we will match to your color palate.

*Can we bring our own pinata, popcorn maker, hot water urn or face painter?
 
Please don't bring these items from home. We offer hot water, and popcorn maker for free. We offer pinatas and face painting at very reasonable rates.

*Is there pizza delivery in the area?
          
Costco (p/u) 425.806.7700 ext. 5
Domino's 425.844.3030
  
The best time to have your pizza delivered is 1 hour into your party.

*What else besides ponies do you offer?
 
We have a great bouncy house, inflatable slide, covered wagon rides, and a campfire for s'mores.  We have a ping pong table for the dads, and some miniature golf and bowling for the toddlers.

You can fish for rubber duckies, and get your face painted. We have pinatas filled with candy, a karaoke machine, and a popcorn maker.

In the winter, we can provide you with hot water for your drinks, and propane heaters for the tent. In the summer, we have a fridge for your ice-cream. If you want an indoor eating space, we have the Cowboy Cottage with a full kitchen and bathroom. We also take special requests and try our best to accommodate.

*Do you have a petting zoo?
 
Yes. We have 2 pygmy goats (Capt. Hook & Tinkerbelle) and a spotted llama (Bahama) and two lions head bunnies (Tom & Jerry)!

*Do you provide safety helmets?
 
We do have spare helmets for use but it is suggested for health reasons that your child bring their own bicycle helmet with their name inside.

*How soon should I book my party?
 
Parties are booked as early as 1 year in advance. A deposit of half the total is requested at time of booking, refundable up to 48 hours prior to your party. If you change your date, or time, the deposit is used for the new booking. If you do not put down a deposit, IT IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE that someone else can call and book the exact time you wanted. We do not hold your reservation without a deposit.

*I'm a perfectionist, and I want my child's birthday party to be perfect. How can I be sure of that?
 
You can book your party at some other INDOOR venue.

We are a working stable. We have horses and horse manure and straw. Horses are not tractors. They have personalities, and sometimes they get tired or cranky. When it's sunny, we get tan and dusty. When it rains, we have puddles and mud. Straw gets tracked into the bouncy house and the slide.We sometimes get spiders as surprise guests.

We work hard to make it a fun time for the kids, and SAFETY is our first consideration, but if you insist on everything going according to plan, without any deviations, trust us, you will be happier somewhere else. KIDS LIKE IT HERE, and they never complain about the unexpected happening. It's only some adults who sometimes have a problem with it.

PS. We often see potty accidents here, as the kids are having so much fun they don't want to stop. Please talk to your child and make sure they take a potty break, if they need it.
