Most of us have fond memories of when we went on a pony ride while we were children. Climbing onto the back of a tame, gentle pony and riding around in a circle for a few minutes can be one of the most exciting and memorable experiences of childhood.
Now you can give your children the same thrilling memories by adding pony rides to your next birthday party, church picnic, block party, or other celebration.
The Excitement of Pony Rides
As grownups, it’s hard to see why pony rides would be that exciting. After all, the ponies don’t run. They don’t trot. They don’t even walk very fast or very far. Ponies also aren’t very big or intimidating.
But you have to remember that for young children, those same ponies look like wild stallions. So when they can actually climb onto their backs and ride on one as their family and friends look on, it’s like being the hero of their own movie.
Pony rides are memorable for children because it’s something most kids don’t get a chance to do very often. They get to interact with a live animal in a way that makes them feel both special and loved.
Pony Ride Options
For party planners, there are a number of options for including pony rides as part of your next celebration. If there are likely to be many children who will want to ride the ponies, you may want to consider multiple ponies in a ring that can accommodate multiple riders simultaneously. If you expect there to be fewer children, you may only want to get a single pony that can be led individually.
Whatever option you choose, prepare to have your youngest guests thrilled beyond words at the experience of riding on a real, live pony. They will cherish that memory for their entire life, just like you did.
