Get £110 worth of extra's for your child's August pony party

Got a child's birthday in August? It's a great month for taking advantage of the summer weather and having an outdoor party.

Our pony parties have been described as
'perfect' and 'way better than I'd expected' and that's just the adults!

Your child's party is held in our pretty orchard with our very gentle tiny ponies. They're small and gentle enough for 2 year olds to enjoy and are perfect for children who have never ridden before/don't ride regularly.

So what's a pony party?
Well in a nutshell the children brush and decorate a pony with ribbons and stickers then they each have a ride - but ofcourse there's more to it than that!!

Here's the party format-

- Welcome, safety chat and brief introduction to all the ponies
- Presentation of special birthday rosette to the birthday child
- Groom and pamper one ponies with ribbons and stickers
- Craft activities available
- Paint the pony with cutie marks/paint the birthday child’s name on the pony
- OR go into the paddock and stroke all the ponies
- Ride for each child plus extra ride for the birthday girl/boy
- Half an hour use of our party stable or picnic benches for your party tea
- Free rosette for all guests
- Free luxury party bag for the birthday girl/boy
- Free voucher for all
- Total party time 2 hours

So what's different about Cheshire Pony Parties?

 We do our best to make each party special by interacting with the children and engaging them - we don't just walk the children round on the pony in silence - whether they like it or not!!!! We take time with less confident children and challenge more confident children so that everyone has a great time.

I've been described as ' the lady who makes little people's dreams come true'  - we provide a wonderful environment for creating lasting memories for your little one (and you).

We can take care of  everything for you, and it is my belief that you should be able to relax and enjoy your child's party - and parents regularly comment how relaxing they find our parties.

Come and see our new party pony, Maisie

Finally got round to taking a photo of a rather muddy Maisie.

She's looking very content as she and Jinny 'escaped' from the area they were supposed to be in as it obviously didn't have enough grass in it and the pair of them have been happily munching the VERY long grass in the out of bounds area!
Maisie is only around 30" tall and is an 8 year old, Miniature Shetland mare (girl pony).
She'll be assisting with pony experiences and pony parties for both tiny tots and teens plus she'll partner with adults on our corporate team building and leadership courses.
As we've done with all our ponies, Maisie will undergo some induction training with my daughter and friends before she's let lose on our visitors!

We're in the Chester Chronicle

Have you seen the article in the Chester Chronicle yet? It's all about how I came to set up Cheshire Pony Parties and has such a 'feel good' factor about it. AND it has a lovely picture of the ponies, me and my nephew.

One Chester mum's stress free kids party

'It was the most relaxing kids party I've done'
was one comment that we received following one of our pony parties. Why? Because we recognise that kids parties can be stressful for parents so we offer a complete and flexible party package.
We can provide you with pony invites for all your guests.
No need to think about party tea-we have a local lady who provides a home-made party tea with all the things you'd expect in a kids party tea-selection of sandwiches, drink, crisps, sausages, fruit and veg and a fairy cake. It always receives good reviews.
We can provide quality, filled pony party bags so you don't have to spend hours searching for suitable party bag gifts.
Alternatively we can supply you with party bag contents for you to include in your own party bags.
We can even supply a fantastic, personalised pony cake in either plain or chocolate!
And whilst the children (and often the parents) are busy pampering and riding, we provide complimentary hot drinks for the parents, plenty of seating and some magazines.
So you can simply relax and enjoy your child's party.
To book your relaxing child's party simply ring or email us and we can handle (almost!) everything for you.

Cheshire Pony Party wins Entrepreneur of the Month

I'm delighted that Cheshire Pony Parties has won Entreprenuer of the Month from serial entrepreneur Nigel Botterill's Entrepreneurs' Circle.
Nigel has built 5 multi-million pound businesses in the last 5 years and is now allocating 25% of his time helping other business owners to grow their businesses, via the Entrepreneurs' Circle.
It's by implementing just a handful of the recommendations from the Entrepreneurs' Circle that I've been able to dramatically increase the income for Cheshire Pony Parties. There are many more recommendations that I've picked up from the monthly circular and information in the members' area, which are in planning stage, but should also help drive up income.
So I'll enjoy with pride my winner's bottle of Botty's bubbly and continue to develop Cheshire Pony Parties.

Back off holiday now

Well the phone didn't stop ringing whilst I was away and I've managed to squeeze a few more people in for pony experiences.
The campsite we stayed at in Dorset had rather intermittent wi-fi, making it pretty difficult to stay in contact with the world. Whilst I couldn't send emails at least I could read them, sometimes. Very frustrating!
Since we've been back I've managed to shoot a (rather amateur) video of the ponies which is on you-tube and on the Cheshire Pony Parties website. I'm amazed at how quickly I was able to do this-it was so easy.
Off to plan my next video!

Training pony to drive

Have been thinking for a while that I need to train Jinny to drive to keep her weight down-I'm too big to ride her and my daughter already has her own pony to ride.
I put the driving saddle on today and the driving reins. She wasn't keen with me standing behind her (this is usual as horses can't see behind them and are prey animals!) and tried to turn round to face me (which is usual). Once she realised I was staying behind, she settled into it really well. I was rather surprised as I could position her where I wanted her-we could go in straight lines or go on a circle-usually they wiggle around at first!
I'll try her like this for a couple more days then I'll put the breeching straps on- they go round their back legs and sometimes they protest!
It'll be great to have a driving pony again-we have a little carriage that I hope will fit her. At least we can practise in the orchard before going out on the road.
Can't wait!
