FULLY OPERATIONAL FARM, PETTING ZOO, PONY RIDES, & RIDING LESSONS
PONIES TO FIT EVERY OCCASION!
OUR RIDES
We offer the best and safest horse, pony, miniature horse, mule, and or donkey rides anywhere. Our handled rides provide the most control and safety while incorporating more one on one time with the animal. All events, rides, and interactions are supervised by a certified, insured, and CPR trained riding instructor.
Wolf's Den is also a licensed riding stable. Our ponies are not just party animals, they are highly trained equines with double lives. They provide entertainment to children of all ages in many venues. At birthday parties and hospitals, but they also provide one on one learning during weekly riding lessons and weekend shows.
PREPERATION & CONDITIONS
All our ponies will have adequate shade, access to water, and periodic breaks from the public if needed. Weather conditions determine the frequency of breaks, cancellations, and or animal selections. All equines are up to date on health care. Health records are available, just ask! Prior to a job appointment all equines involved will receive a bath and or proper grooming to look their best for the event.
All of our ponies attend events clean with matching halters, leads, and saddle pads. They are lead my trained volunteers. Ponies are selected according to your event, the ages and weight of people interacting with them, the ponies personalities and their temperaments. Safety is our number one priority.....second is FUN!!

ADD A FRIEND
These friends are not for riding, they are to help keep the riding pony or ponies calm during the event. Especially if you are only having one riding pony come to your party.

These friends are able to be brushed with the grooming supplies we bring, held around by the kids, and fed treats that we bring. We may even be able to bathe them if weather and time permit.

TRAVEL
We have tried to make our travel fee fair to everyone. We do not try to make a profit off of this, it is just to cover our basic expense to get to you. We will gladly come to you if you are anywhere in the tri state area, maybe even if your not! The gas it takes to drive a truck and trailer would amaze you, especially when gas increases. We also keep our travel equipment in good, safe, working order. Our travel fee is based off of mapquest and we only charge it once, one way. This travel fee is $1.50 per mile.
BOOKING
Please, please, please try to book as early as possible. We normally book events three to six months in advance. We need a minimum of 14 days to comfortable fit in an event. We generally receive a call or email that someone has questions or is interested in booking a date. We return the call or email within 24 hours whenever possible. Please remember we are running a business, a large facility, and a family. We then send out a contract. In order for us to write you into our schedule and book your day and times, we need the contract and a deposit. Once we receive the contract (fully filled out and signed) and the deposit we will call or email you a conformation.
At Wolf's Den we understand that not everyone in the business is reliable and trustworthy. We also understand that things come up in life and priorities can shift. For those reasons we will rearrange and fit events in last minute. To book an event with less then 7 days notice add $50.00 to the total. To book an event with less the 48 hours notice add $75.00 to the total.
Wolf's Den is double licensed, fully insured, permitted, certified, and CPR trained. If you still feel unsure or want some extra protection we can add you to our insurance for the day(s). The fee to cover this is $100.00
