Pony birthday parties
A backyard party kids talk about for years. Mobile across the Twin Cities metro and western Wisconsin.
What to expect
What a birthday looks like.
We arrive ahead of your start time and set up the pen and any fencing in your yard or venue, out of the way of the party itself. Ponies and handlers are ready to go by the time your guests show up.
Guests take turns with pony rides and, on petting zoo packages, time with the goats, bunnies, and chickens. A trained handler leads every pony and every ride, so parents can stay with their group instead of managing the animals.
At the end of the booking we load up and clear out, leaving the yard the way we found it. Most families keep a few photos from the day and nothing else to clean up.

Reviews
What families say.
"Pony Parties made my daughter's birthday a huge success! We had 2 ponies, 2 goats and 4 bunnies! All the kids got multiple rides, the animals were tender and kind and the staff was friendly, professional, and super wonderful with children and parents alike. I would re-book them anytime and recommend to all!"
"We have used Pony Parties Express for the last 2 years at our annual Trista Day event. They are very professional and easy to communicate with. They make our event even better by providing pony rides that all of the kids enjoy."
"Kyle and Krista were so easy to communicate with on what our plan was for the party. They gave us the perfect animal option and it was perfect. The bunnies were the main hit, but the goats, lambs, and chickens were fun for the kids as well."
