Birthday Parties at Pine Trails Ranch

Pony Ride Birthday Parties

Pony Ride Parties incorporate pony rides into your birthday party. The ponies are led by an instructor of Pine Trails Ranch while the party guests ride. In this kind of party the guests don’t have to actually control the horses. This party type is well suited for very large groups or groups of very young children who are not coordinated enough to guide the horses themselves. If the rider is wanting to, we will show them how to hold the reins and give their horse directions.

The cost for this type of party is $90 per pony used per hour (cash or check discount) and $93 per pony used per hour (credit card). The minimum charge is for one hour. The number of ponies used depends on the number of guests and how long each guest wants to ride. All riders wear protective helmets while riding. Our new covered party area is now available to rent as well for just $75 an hour. It has an amazing misting system that keeps you cool and comfortable all summer long!

Group Lesson Birthday Parties

Group Lesson Pony Parties incorporate actual group lessons into your birthday party. In this type of party all guests get to aid in caring for their assigned horse or pony, they also get a basic safety course, and after that they get to go out to the arena to ride. They are instructed on basic riding skills at both walk and trot if the riders are comfortable and safe, as well as basic control and steering skills. A short trail ride is within the judgment of the instructor as to whether the guests have mastered basic skills enough to leave the arena safely. These group sessions are best for riders 7 yrs or older.

The maximum number of guests that can ride in a lesson is five, but we can run two groups at a time, with different instructors, for a maximum of eight to ten guests at a time. Multiple sessions are possible to accommodate more guests. The cost of this type of party is dependent on the number of guests attending.
