Don't believe everything you see or hear. Some businesses
claim they have been around for years. It doesn't mean they
actually have. Can they prove it? We are a recommended pony
ride business of more than 20 years... and we CAN prove it!
Our family based business provides pony rides and face painting for birthday parties, social clubs and special
occasion events. Our ponies and face painters have provided hundreds of pony rides and entertainment for
children of all ages since 1988. We started with 'Apple' and 'Jacko' a pair of beautiful leopard palouses, who
were popular throughout SA for 12 years until sadly, Apple died from a snake bite. Jacko is now retired,
after a transfer to our sister business in Whyalla where he did pony rides at Tandera Markets, until he was
succeeded by Tequila, who is now happily entertaining children at birthday parties. Our miniature pony 'Cody',
has worked with various TV and radio personalities, the latest being Fitzy on Nova 91.9 and he was a big hit
with the staff and children when he made a special television appearance on 'Bookworm'. Our face painters
and ponies have worked at Expo, Royal Adelaide Show, Art and Craft Fair, Entertainment Centre, Irish
Club, Christmas Pageant, Glendi festival, Greater Union Theatre previews, BOC Gases, CIG, ETSA,
Royal Adelaide Hospital, MacDonald's, Ingham Chickens, SGIC, Dulux Paints, Solver Paints, GMH, Delfin Real
Estate, Carrick Hill, Central Districts Football Club, SA Tourism, Rover Australia, Repco, Nestle, Crippled
Children's Association, Apex Club, Life Be In It, Down Syndrome Society of SA, CAFS, Help At Home Inc.,
The City of Tea Tree Gully Council, Enfield Council, Port Adelaide Council, Glenelg Council, Munno Para City
Council, Department of Transport, Attorney General's Department, Police Association, Northfield Prison
Complex, RAAF Base, CPS Credit Union, Mobil, SAFM, Mix 102.9, Nova 91.9, Channel 7, Channel 9, Channel 10, to
name just a few, plus many other venues including sporting clubs, hotels, church groups, schools, kindergartens,
parent groups, and a 5 day beach front event at Yankalilla in 1996, where 'Amber the pony' was made an
honorary Girl Guide, even though she ate everyone's sandwiches! We were the only businesses offering 'we
come to you' pony ride activity back then, so we had to try to accommodate anyone ‘anywhere’ wanting
this type of entertainment or activity. 'Abbey the pony' was even photographed for the Live To Ride magazine
way back in 1995 as she delighted little ones with rides during a street festival. The young boy who was
photographed on Abbey all those years ago, is now continuing the family business in Whyalla, leading children
on 'Tequila the pony' at birthday parties while his mother face paints. We have always done our best to heed
the call wherever we were needed. We invite you to visit our website to see our references plus some more
delightful photos and an amusing video clip featuring 'Cody' with 'Fitzy'. Our face painters have been
around children from all walks of life. Our main face painter is the owner of the business and has a little
brother with a disability, which makes her pretty special, as she is exceptionally patient and really
takes the time to understand what makes each child happy. 'Alma the pony', belongs to this little
boy, so we use her a lot, especially for the little ones, as she is extraordinarily kind and patient as well.
We pride ourselves on making people happy and one would have to go a long way to find another business that
cares about customers the way we do. We prefer to work north of the city as we are friends with our
competition down south and in the hills and we believe in sharing the work, so if they are closer, be a mate
and support your local business. If they are booked, we would welcome your patronage.
