Why Pony Parties Express
What sets us apart
Experienced hands
Kyle and Krista bought Pony Parties Express from a long-time operator who ran it for years. They took the reins with the animals, the routines, and the knowledge already in place.
Fully insured
Liability coverage on every event. Daycares, schools, and corporate clients can book with confidence.
Gentle, well-handled animals
Tinkerbell and the rest of the herd are raised on the farm and trained around children, seniors, and first-timers.
Flexible with your day
Weather reschedules, setup quirks, tight timelines, we flex. Your event goes smoothly or we make it right.

Kyle and Krista. Three girls, one farm, one herd.
A real family farm.
Clayton, Wisconsin. Three girls. A herd that gets fed before anybody else does.
A business they bought to be home
Kyle and Krista sold their horse-hauling business to buy Pony Parties Express from a long-time operator, a deliberate trade, to be home, raise their three girls, and run something that feels like it belongs to them.
A herd raised on the farm
Tinkerbell and the rest of the animals live on the farm in Clayton. They are handled daily, trained around children, and loved hard.
More than birthday parties
Kyle and Krista are adding daycares, senior living, animal-assisted therapy, corporate events, and weddings, alongside the birthday parties that are still the core.

Reviews
What families and partners say.
"Pony Parties made my daughter's birthday a huge success! We had 2 ponies, 2 goats and 4 bunnies! All the kids got multiple rides, the animals were tender and kind and the staff was friendly, professional, and super wonderful with children and parents alike. I would re-book them anytime and recommend to all!"
"We have used Pony Parties Express for the last 2 years at our annual Trista Day event. They are very professional and easy to communicate with. They make our event even better by providing pony rides that all of the kids enjoy."
"Kyle and Krista were so easy to communicate with on what our plan was for the party. They gave us the perfect animal option and it was perfect. The bunnies were the main hit, but the goats, lambs, and chickens were fun for the kids as well."
FAQ
The real questions we get.
What animals do you bring?
Depends on the package. Our most-booked packages include Tinkerbell or another pony, plus petting pen animals like goats, bunnies, chickens, and a miniature donkey. Specialty requests are welcome.
Can you come to a daycare or senior living facility?
Absolutely, it is a growing part of our work. We run weekly and monthly recurring programs for daycares, preschools, senior living, and memory-care facilities. We carry full liability insurance.
What if it rains on my event day?
We reschedule without hassle. Our calendar is built to flex with Wisconsin weather. Talk to us a few days out if the forecast looks bad.
Do you offer animal-assisted therapy?
Yes. We run calm, staff-guided animal sessions for clinical programs, wellness groups, and individual work, built around gentle brushing, one-on-one moments, and sensory stimulation rather than the energy of a birthday party. Reach out and we will scope it together.
