CR's  Party Rules

CR  wants to make your event a safe and memorable experience.  therefore, the following rules must be followed at every event our ponies and petting farms attend.. These rules are for the safety of your children and the well being of our animals.

1.  We do have size & weight limits for our ponies & saddles.  To ensure we reserve the correct size pony for your event, we need to know ages of the youngest and oldest riders that will be attending your event.    CR caters to children ages 10 years and under.  Infants may be set on the pony for photos, but will not be permitted to ride, this is for the infants spinal/neck safety.

We want to accommodate all children and not leave anyone out.  Our staff members have the right to refuse any rider they feel is over limits for the specific pony.

2.  Any person who will come within 10 feet of our ponies - petting animals MUST be wearing shoes.  Those barefoot, wearing flip flops, sandals or unsuitable footwear Will Not be permitted to ride the pony or be near the animals. This is for safety reasons.

3.  There are to be NO Dogs, leashed or otherwise within 30 feet of our ponies and petting farms. And all barking dogs need to be left indoors.

Dogs can be a serious safety hazard for the children, the animals and the dog.

4.  Once a rider has mounted the pony, all other children must stay out of the "pony ride area".  Those waiting for a ride must wait at  the designated spot.  Children are not permitted to follow in front of, beside of or behind the pony while a rider is mounted.
