Our vehicle must remain attached to the enclosure for the duration of the event.

We require a grass space to walk the pony which is free from other activities (e.g., play equipment, jumping castles, dogs etc.) to ensure a safe environment while pony rides are in progress.

Child Supervision

Education

Our staff are always happy to answer questions about farming and animal husbandry. Please let us know if you would like an educational discussion as part of your farm experience, we are happy to include this with no extra charge. 

Dogs

We love dogs but not all our farm animals do! Please inform us if dogs will be present at your event and we will select animals who will be comfortable with their presence. Dogs causing discomfort to the farm animals will need to be kept away. Dogs are not permitted if booking pony rides.
 
If you would like us to include a farm dog as part of your mobile farm experience, please let us know and we do our best to accommodate. 

Footwear

Please ensure guests wear suitable enclosed footwear. 

Animal Welfare

The welfare of our animals is of the upmost importance to us. We will not tolerate any mistreatment of our animals, any persons behaving inappropriately around the animals will be asked to leave.

We will not unload our animals or remain in an environment we consider unsafe for our animals. Not much phases our animals but please use common sense and discuss with us prior if you plan to have other activities or entertainment (e.g., fireworks, ball games) at your event.

Parks

If your event is to be held at a park you must contact the local council if you plan to include animals at the event. 

Pony Rides

A wavier must be completed by pony ride participants prior to participation. For participants under the age of 18 the wavier must be completed by a parent or legal guardian.

Maximum rider weight for pony rides is 30kg. We have a range of ponies and horses available, if a larger pony or horse is required you must inform us when requesting the booking to ensure an appropriately sized mount is available. A larger mount will incur an additional $100 fee.

Small children will require a parent or supervising adult to lift them on to and off the pony and walk beside them while they ride.

Always ask our staff before approaching the ponies and never approach from behind or run.

No dogs permitted. No toys, balloons, balls, play equipment, sticks etc. are permitted around the ponies particularly when rides are in progress. If the environment is unsafe pony rides will cease until it is safe to resume.

Our Animals

Our farm animals include chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, peafowl, rabbits, dogs, pigs, sheep, goats, alpacas, llamas, deer, cattle, ponies and horses.
 
We are not a 'baby animal farm', 'animal nursery' or 'petting zoo', therefore our animals are not rehomed when they reach a certain age. Our mobile farms include a variety of farm animals of a variety of ages. We do not take requests for 'only baby animals'.

Please see our service descriptions at the top of this page for a list of animals which may be included with each of our services dependent on availability. 
 
While we cannot predict which animals will be available for your event, if you have any preferences, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate. We have many permanent residents on our farm, and we also care for animals who temporarily need a little extra care, these animals will often return to their homes or are adopted into new families. Just like people, animals need time off, they have sick days and times when they just aren't feeling sociable. We will never bring an animal to an event unless they are feeling 100% that day. While we can't guarantee which animals will be able to attend your event, you can be assured a variety of happy and healthy animals will attend.
