When my grandson was six he had his first Peppermint Pony birthday party. I thought that he would outgrow them but at age 12, having had a Peppermint Pony Party every year, he has not. I wish I had more grandchildren to enjoy Miss Angela's parties. The happy photos on the website tell the stories. These parties are not just for little girls. Boys like the cowboy fantasies as much, if not more, than girls like the princess thing. Angela and her talented helpers have done some durn good painting on the budding cowboys. My grandson doesn't like having his face painted so she gives him arm "tattoos" instead. Her creativity is amazing. Miss Angela is not only a professional party provider but also an experienced horse person. Her stringent safety rules are for the protection of your children and their friends. Everyone wants to have fun. SAFETY is a priority. These parties are not the kind where you drop off your child and go shopping. There are large animals at these parties, not plushy toys. A parent must be present and in charge of her/his child at all times. I would not hesitate to recommend Peppermint Pony Parties and have wondered who had more fun, me or my grandson! read more

I was feeling down so my husband surprised me with a party from The Peppermint Pony! Angela was a lovely presence and all my neighbors and their kids came out to see what was going on in my front yard. The mini horses are the cutest thing. read more

The Peppermint Pony - Face Painting Near Me

My daughter attended a Peppermint Pony party in August and loved it. The face painting was amazing. It was te most beautiful face painting my daughter has ever had - no joke. The beautifully adorned ponies were simply magical. The party hostesses were great with the kids and made the day magical for all of the princesses. I heard from other attendees after the party that they would love to book a Peppermint Pony party! read more

Peppermint Pony was hired for our daughters 4 year birthday party. We were extremely pleased with everything! They came with a unicorn and a little pony. The kids had a blast riding the unicorn and playing/petting/feeding the pony. Beyond that, they did an amazing job face painting and even the boys at the party got in on the action with dinosaur and transformer face paintings. I would highly recommend the Peppermint Pony for any child's magical birthday party! read more

See all

First of all, performer showed up more than 5 minutes lates- when i called her, her excuse (not an apology) was that she hadnt seen her assistant in a while and they "had been gabbing". 5 minutes might not seem like a lot, but had been told they would show up a few minutes early since the entire part was only an hour and a half. Several adults at party commented that performer was rude to them and the children. Performer left in the middle of face-painting several of the kids in order to walk around and take "pictures for her website." Most importantly, the performer was incredibly harsh with my special needs cousin. i would not have hired her had i known she was so ill-equipped and unwilling to demonstrate sensitivity to a member of my family. the horses and helper were very beautiful and kind and I cannot fault them. The main proprietor is not someone i would pay that amount of money to to interact with children. read more

I didn't end up having a party or using the services because the owner was extremely rude. I emailed her to ask some questions bc I was. Little confused by her website. The tone of her emails were condescending and as if I was bothering her. I can't imagine paying someone to work with my children if they can't answer a simple question with out being extremely annoyed. read more

The Peppermint Pony is a great children's party idea. The ponies are adorable and well behaved. Miss Angela is a fantastic face painter and takes wonderful care to make sure the children are safe around the ponies. Parents should be prepared to enforce safety around the ponies as well. If you follow the rules and instructions on the website, your party should be a fantastic experience. read more

This web site is ineffective, the host is very nasty. I paid my booking fee of $155 and the owner/agent could not instruct me how to book an event. The form lacked a send function to close the transaction. One of the worst experiences booking an event in my LIFE! read more

This past weekend, I hosted a Peppermint Pony party for my daughter's birthday, and it turned out wonderfully! My 4 year-old daughter was so surprised and very excited to see ponies in our yard. She even asked if we could keep them! The owner, Ms. Angela, was very friendly and happily answered all of my questions (and I had a lot of them!)- from the time I booked the party roughly 7 weeks in advance, right until the event ended. The kids really enjoyed feeding carrots to the ponies and grooming them. The photographer with Ms. Angela was also super nice and had a great sense of humor. What was especially nice was the face-painting. All of the kids loved the artwork- everything from "princess tigers" to "rainbow monsters" (the kids ranged in age from 1 year-old up to my 12 year-old niece). The work was absolutely beautiful, professionally done. As far as pricing, I got really excited and went overboard, booking the longer, full-service party package, but Peppermint Pony offers other options that are very affordable (While I initially regretted spending so much money on a 4 year-old's birthday, in the end, the longer party- which also included photography- gave all of the kids more chances to ride and allowed everyone enough time to have their faces painted and groom the ponies). If Ms. Angela is still running the Peppermint Pony business 3 or 4 years from now when my younger daughter is old enough to remember and appreciate the event, I will definitely be doing this again. I would also recommend a Peppermint Pony party to others. Lots of fun, nice people, and beautiful and patient ponies and mini-horses. read more

I was at one of the parties that hired The Peppermint Pony a few months ago. I give Two thumbs up to this company! The party was a success. The kids had a blast. All of the kids had their faces painted in gorgeous designs and vibrant colors. They all had an opportunity to ride the ponies that were very child friendly! I am not sure why there were complaints about the rules and regulations. Thank goodness this company follows them strictly because with this age group you absolutely need it for safety reasons! The owner of the company is very punctual and professional...You can tell she is passionate about her work. I would recommend this company with no hesitation! read more

Let me first say I didn't have a party with the Peppermint Pony, but after looking at the website, even though all the rules and regs were almost too much, the pictures looked cute and it's really all about my kid having fun. So with that I contacted TPP. After an email question where she asked me if I had even read her page I was slightly turned off but whatever. Refer back to where I said it was all about my kid. So TPP and I were in email conversation about where to park the truck and she abruptly told me she wouldn't do my party after I brought up a suggestion. She also stated she'd hate to put me in financial distress. Ha! I'll take my $500+ dollars elsewhere. Actually it won't be that much with someone else. Customer service over email was terrible - I can't imagine how she'd trick my kid and guests! read more

In response to the owners comments, it was a very small party of maybe 8 children, all of whom were in one small area and being directly supervised by their parents, and I did not see any poor behavior by children like she mentioned. What I did see was the proprietor being unpleasant and downright mean to kids there, so only hire them if that's how you want your guests to be treated. read more

A few years ago, we had a Cowgirl party for my daughter's 5th birthday. The ponies were adorable and very gentle with the kids. It started to rain and we moved everything, including the ponies into the garage where the kids brushed them and petted them. The weather cleared up long enough for every kid to get a ride. I see now that the Peppermint Pony also offers incredible face painting and balloon shapes as well. read more

I can only speak about our dealings with The Peppermint Pony on the administrative side, since we have not experienced the actual party service. Due to a county park regulation regarding insurance requirements we had to switch companies at the last minute for a toddler's birthday party. After making several phone calls and sending numerous emails, we were concerned that we would not have a pony for the children to ride at the party. We already sent out invites and were very short on time since we had to locate a new company by the end of business hours that day. I spoke with Angela from The Peppermint Pony and she worked with her insurance provider to get the county the necessary insurance certificates within hours and within the limited time frame the county gave us. At that time, The Peppermint Pony was the only company we could locate that had the necessary insurance limits in place and could handle that quick of a turnaround. After a stressful day of scrambling for a replacement company, it was very helpful that Angela from The Peppermint Pony was willing to make our need a priority and get it done. read more
