| Should I book longer than 1 hour? |
| No, the ponies are hand led, and we can ride anywhere. We can make do with alleys, quiet streets, and small yards. |
| Kids don't mind the rain, and neither do the ponies. If you can look 'em in the eye and tell 'em, "The ponies aren't coming because of the rain," you may cancel! Children won't notice the rain when there is a pony in the backyard! If possible stage the children in the garage so there is shelter while they wait for their turn. |
| If your party is a longer than 2 1/2 hrs. I suggest you book longer. You can add more riding time with 2 ponies. |
| Our ponies are Shetlands and Welsh. We have one that is Hackney Welsh cross. |
| Yes. Some people think a pony is a young horse, a pony is a small horse. Ponies by definition are under 14 hands at the whither (highest point on the back), that's 56 inches in human height. A young horse would be a foal, a colt (male) or filly (female). |
| What is a hand? |
| One hand equals 4 inches, (based on the width of a hand). |
| I've heard of ponies living to be 35 to 40 years old. Good nutrition, exercise, health care (including dentistry), and good confirmation playing key roles. |
| Are the pony rides going to wreck my lawn? |
| No, the ponies are pretty small, and we don't make divits or wear down the grass. If the grass is really rain soaked and there are bare patches, we may make a little mud, this is rare. We are meticulous with our clean up. |
