Choosing the best pony party for your child

You don’t get a second go at your child’s birthday party so choose wisely, using our handy guide!


Do they listen to your requirements?

It’s important to create a party that’s suitable for the age group and number of children including any special requirements – does the organization take these into consideration?

Testimonials
A really good indication of children having had a fantastic party is reading any testimonials the organization publishes from happy customers.

One or two is good but a string of current testimonials is a very reassuring sign.

Check out their facebook page - Facebook provides you with a feel of the person behind the business – what they put on facebook can give a hint as to their approach to parties.

Can you visit before the party
A visit to the location is a great opportunity to meet the person who is going to be responsible for entertaining your child and party guests. You can also see the location where the party will be held and look over the ponies, who should appear happy and healthy – not too fat nor too thin.

Safety aspects
Are there safety signs around the location and/or is there a safety briefing at the start of the party?

How do you know the pony handlers have sufficient knowledge and experience to handle the pony and children mix!

Does the saddle/equipment appear in good working order and to fit the ponies?

You should also check that the organization has appropriate insurance (public liability insurance is compulsory)

Cheshire Pony Parties is one of the longest established pony party providers in the UK. We welcome pre-arranged, pre-party visits and can work around most requirements.

Our safety rules are born from many years experience of managing equines, based upon sound knowledge.

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!
