Groups Of More Than Six for Horse/Pony Ride and Petting Zoo
We have found that having more than 6 visitors meeting the animals tends to be less intimate and can scare the animals. The magical effect of personal interaction with our animals is elusive in large multi-family groups. Its more fun and more intimate with a family unit.Safety is our number one priority. We endeavor to keep everyone safe and to facilitate fun, healing, and memorable animal encounters.
Multi-Family Groups: If the energy level is too much for the animals we will separate the families, limit exposure to the more sensitive animals, or set the encounters in open spaces where the animals can "escape." We ask that parents help keep the kids from being too rambunctious around the animals. Of course, when they are in wide open spaces (away from animals) we encourage running and "outdoor voices."
We will allow only one family at a time near the horse while someone is riding. It is important for visitors to keep a safe distance from large animals, especially when someone is mounting or dismounting a horse. The other family will be outside the fence, or at a safe distance, observing the horse ride or brushing/leading/petting the mini-horse, dogs, goat, or other horses over a fence. We will swap families so everyone gets a chance to ride and take pics of their own kids.
Each Additional Visitor - $10
Example: If you have 12 in your group
Price
$190 (for the first 6 visitors)
+ $60 ($10 for each additional visitor)

See our Events Calendar for details.Prices for Birthday Parties, Corporate Retreats, Family Reunions, Weddings, etc. will be set through negotiation.
Riders with Some Experience.
We don't allow one-day visitors to ride free rein. If you or your kids have taken some lessons, or just want an adrenaline rush, we can put you/them on a lunge line, but we do not allow one-day riders to control the horse. Only people taking lessons with us may control the horse while riding. Price is the same as shown above.Kayaks & Canoes

River Guide for Hire
If you want Riverboat Roger to guide you through the calm waters of the Mississippi backwater, regale you with his stories, entertain you with his wit and musical repertoire, help you paddle the canoe, enthrall you with his dearth of knowledge on local plant and animal species, or just sit quietly and provide an additional layer of safety.
Schedule a boat launch time (no charge) or text/call Roger to check his availability at 608-331-0000.
