This experience offers pony rides for our littlest equestrians as well as a trip into our Critter Coral Petting Zoo with food for hand feeding! After being introduced to their new friend they will mount up for this lead-line ride. Very young/small children may require a parent to walk alongside them for the duration of the ride as a safeguard however, we can not move the pony if a parent has to hold the child on to the saddle. Children must be at least 3 years old and able to sit independently for us to move the pony. Otherwise, younger children or children requiring more assistance will receive a “standing ride” which still gives them the opportunity of safely participating. If you have a special-needs child that would like to enjoy the thrill of a pony ride please contact us so we can work with you to give them a wonderful and safe experience. In the Critter Coral guests will meet and interact with a variety of different sheep, goats, pigs, sulcata tortoises, and a turkey named Thomas!
