What better way to mark a special occasion or birthday than having a pony party? For your party, we offer an enchanting meadow pony theme or a rugged cowboy theme for you to choose from! Click for larger photos.

We're going greener! Our Pony theme is now reusable plastic and ceramic plates. The cost for the Cowboy theme and the Pont theme are the same. We are phasing out the use of all paper products for plastics, ceramics and other reusables.

With our pony theme, every child will receive a plastic pony of their choice, or you can instead get a small plush or unicorn. Ceramic or larger plush horses are available for $1 each. These would be better suited for older children or teens.

Our basic hour long pony party includes a picnic table outdoors or in our covered arena (rain or shine), a pony ride and a special gift for each guest. With our 'extra' package, we'll take care of all the details, which includes personalized favor bags, table decorations, matching themed party hats, napkins, cups, table cloth, and plates. Extra activities include horseshoe painting and treasure hunts. You are also welcome to bring cameras to record special moments for you and your guests.

Directions:
From the south take the Cotati/Sebastopol exit off Hwy 101. From the north take the Sonoma/Sebastopol Hwy 12 exit off Hwy 101. Go west until you get to the first stop light in Sebastopol, where Hwy 12 becomes Bodega Highway. You see signs for Bodega Bay on the left. We are located off of Bodega Highway 3.5 miles west of Sebastopol. From Bodega Highway turn left onto Tilton Road (you will see a white painted fence on the left) and follow Tilton approximately 1 mile to where the hill crests. Turn right onto Falstaff Road and follow it until the driveways forks. Take the upper left paved driveway to the end of the road. We are located at the address 11114 Falstaff. Click here for a map.

Notes: We suggest you bring along a single-use camera to capture your memories. We can take photos for an additional charge. We do require all participants to wear closed-toed shoes, and recommend boots and play clothes. For painting activities, we will provide shirts to help keep paint off your child’s clothes. We recommend this basic party for eight, with one additional activity. Smaller groups will love more time and attention per person, as well as upgraded favors. Games/activities will be staffed during your booked party time. Most groups will have games going on simultaneously, while others are riding. We suggest no more than 3 participants waiting for a ride while others are involved in the games or activities. All children attending will need signed permission from their parent/guardians. You can download and print these forms here, or call and request us to send you some in advance.
