Make Your Next Event Magical With Ponies and a Petting Zoo

There’s just something special about the sparkle in a child’s eyes when they meet a pony for the first time or when a pink pony trots up dressed like a unicorn! At Pony Parties By Dawn, we know exactly how to make those moments happen. From one-on-one pony rides to interactive petting zoos filled with unique animals, we offer safe, professional, and engaging entertainment for events of all sizes.


Over 33 Years of Smiles

We’re more than just a mobile petting zoo or pony ride service; we’re equine professionals who take enormous pride in the beauty and behavior of every animal we bring. For over three decades, families and event planners have trusted us to deliver well-trained, well-groomed animals that are not only safe but also a joy to interact with. Our ponies have shiny coats, gentle manners, and plenty of personality, and they never miss a meal!


Pony Rides That Kids Will Never Forget

We offer traditional pony rides, ponies dressed as unicorns, and even a pink pony for little girls’ parties that’s always a crowd favorite. Each pony is stunning, healthy, and incredibly well-behaved. But don’t worry, boys, we have plenty of equally handsome ponies just for you! No event is too big or too small. Whether it’s a backyard birthday with 10 guests or a city-wide festival, we’re ready to saddle up and bring the fun.


Petting Zoo Rentals With Unique, Adorable Animals

Our mobile petting zoo is filled with animals that are not your average backyard buddies. That’s our specialty! We focus on unique, healthy, and clean animals that delight and surprise your guests. One of our biggest attractions? The smallest breed of miniature cattle in the world—you’ve got to see them to believe them!



Other animals vary by availability, but we’re always happy to take special requests. Got something in mind? Contact us to book, and let us know what you’re looking for!
