URGENT: Bookings are REALLY slow this year, most probably due to the rising cost of living being so tough on families. Trust me, we get it as we have 4 kids still living at home ourselves and a LOT of animal expenses regardless of whether work is coming in or not 😵‍💫
We have already closed down Farm School, Junior Farm School and Pet Class due to lack of numbers, and if bookings don't pick up ASAP we will have no choice but to close altogether 😞 so if you are considering booking a Group Petting Zoo visit, Birthday party, Pony Class, Private Pony Experience, Holiday Programme or buying a Gift Voucher for a child in your life, NOW'S the time 🙏

03/03/2024

We have several spaces during the week in Term 1 from 12-4pm or 6-7pm for Private Pony Experiences (cuddles, grooming, learning to lead a pony, learning to tack up and ride).
Ages 2-5 years is $40 for half an hour.
Ages 5-16 years is $65 for an hour.
Message us here to book 🐴 or to buy a gift voucher.
