Pony parties are a great activity.. the package usually allocates 2hrs for the party, 1hr for the horse ride (unlimited kids and unlimited rides) in an indoor arena and 1hr for food,cake and presents... it's about $200 for 3 horses & $25 for additional horses. The rooms are equipped with a refrigerator, table& chairs all you need to bring are decorations cake and pizza... that make it easy-peasy! The stables are well maintained and clean...Additionally, they also provide horse boarding, summer camps ($250 a week), and riding lessons.

Inside was gorgeous as well. The set up was stunning and I loved the lounge while we waited to enter the main room. I'm not sure if they provided the decor but it was top tier. The food was delicious(even though I didn't take a lot of photos). The drinks were amazing. I wish I got the name of the bartender in the hall area, she was so spot on with every drink I ordered. The customer service was top tier. The servers were very kind and attentive to all our needs. The stressed to know about allergies and preferences, which was impressive. I've gone to conferences where allergies were treated carelessly and people got sick. So I really appreciated them constantly checking in. The tables were cleared immediately after you were done. The servers were very accommodating when asked for additional things as well. Looks of gorgeous areas to take photos. The area we were in was wheelchair and disabled accessible which was great. The bathrooms were nice and clean as well. I had a great time and would highly recommend and love to come again.
