Frequently asked Questions

Why choose Magic Woods Pony Parties?>

Magic Woods Pony Parties is dedicated to presenting exceptional services for every client. Our packages are suggestions. If you have special wishes let us know, as we are always eager to make your personal dreams come true.

My education (Master of Education, PhD of Veterinary Medicine) is the key to an extraordinary and unforgettable experience. My guests are not “only” enjoying the time with our horses, but will also profit from my profound knowledge about animals. In a relaxed and joyful way, you and your children will learn about horses, their handling, and their needs.

What happens if it rains?>

We will still party!

For parties on our farm, we will be inside our beautiful decorated and big enough barn, surrounded by our ponies and donkey. For the pony rides, we kindly ask that you have your children dress appropriately and take some extra clothes for the trip home.

What are the benefits of two or more ponies?>

The birthday girl or boy can ride more often, while still sharing with the other children.
Kids who are a little bit afraid at first, might find courage by riding next to their friend. And they can choose their favorite pony what might as well help them.
And most important: we can accommodate children of different ages with 4 different horse sizes.

How big a yard do I need to have a pony party at my house?>

All we need is a safe place to park and unload the ponies. Even in small yards, driveways, or parking lots our ponies are ready for the rides!

Please be aware that ponies might leave some hoof prints in the grass, especially after rain.

Are there any rules or safety informations?>

Our biggest goal is to make your event an unforgettable and unique experience. To make sure that it will also be safe for all guests and horses we had to set up some rules. Please ask us for more information if you have any other concerns.

Safety rules for the pony rides:

    • Children 3 and younger need a parent to walk next to them, holding onto them while riding.
  • Please be prepared to have at least one adult available to supervise other guests while rides are taking place.
    • Please help us keeping an eye on the children. We are busy handling the ponies, helping mount and dismount, and watching the kids while riding. While hand-leading a pony, our focuses are and should be on the riding kids.
