Are Your Horse Mad Kids Bugging You For A Pony?

Kids love animals, especially horses, and it's no wonder, as they are such majestic creatures. Getting your kids involved in the world of horses can be expensive, but it doesn't have to be with the Adopt A Pony program. This program offers the perfect opportunity for you and your kids to experience what it would be like to own a pony through our unique pony lease arrangement. For more information, feel free to contact us.

Experience the Magic of the Adopt a Pony program!

We are thrilled to offer the best ponies for rides in the area. Our selection includes ponies of various sizes, along with a couple of horses. Each pony is well-trained and gentle, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. Whether you're a beginner or experienced with horses, we have the perfect pony for you and your family.


Our Adopt A Pony program provides a unique pony leasing arrangement that allows families to spend quality time together, strengthening bonds while enjoying the outdoors with ponies. This program also offers young equestrians an affordable option to learn, develop, and practice their riding skills on a weekly basis.


By participating in the Adopt A Pony program, you can avoid the significant financial outlay of purchasing a pony and the necessary equipment, not to mention the weekly time commitment required for caring for a pony.


Many children and adults find that being around ponies is calming and therapeutic. In fact, we have had several families utilizing their NDIS funding in this way. Two of our mini ponies serve as Animal Assisted Therapy ponies, and we invite you to read more about this. If you're interested in our programs, please feel free to contact us!

About Adopt A Pony

We  have 21 perfect kids ponies (and now 2 horses) of varying breeds and sizes to suit children from ages 3 - 11, plus we now have available 2 horses for the capable teens.  


All of our horses and ponies are experienced and calm around children, most of them having been party ponies for kids parties.


Beautiful trails are available for you to enjoy as you lead your child out on a relaxing ride.  Relax in the garden as the kids play in the playground after their ride, they can play in the cubby house, bounce on the safe Springfree trampoline, chat to the cats, dogs and chooks who are all super friendly ... the kids won't want to go home.  


Access to the  professional equestrian facilities – horse wash, indoor/outdoor tie up  areas, dressage arena, round yard, show jumps and trail riding with  cross country logs for jumping.


The Best Thing About Pony Leasing is:

  1. No hunting high and low to purchase a genuinely quiet, safe and reliable children's pony (budget $4000 - $10,000)
  2. Don’t worry about finding a place to keep the pony (agistment), they will stay with us in Doreen.
  3. No need to purchase any of the necessary equipment (tack) needed to own a pony because we have it.
  4. You  don’t even have the responsibility of veterinary care or day to day  maintenance – feeding, rugging etc, we do that every day.
