Pony Parties & Pony Rides
We're pretty proud of our ponies, they are all a pleasure to have around as either pets or working animals.
We consistantly receive comments on how exceptionally well mannered our ponies are around the children.
It is our aim to bring the joy of horses into your environment for you and your guests to also enjoy for the day.
Our miniature horses are mainly involved with the Pony Pantomime Show and the Groovy Glamour Pony Party. They do also give rides, but only for very young or small children.
Jeremiah - for pony hire, performs & does tricks
Chocolate brown gelding, 83cm short registered Miniature Horse. Born 14 October 1999. Very handsome & very affectionate. I bought Jeremiah when he was only 3 months old. I still have the baby photos. Of course he had to stay with his mummy till he was old enough to be weaned. It’s so funny to see him galloping around the paddock with all our other ponies, he seems to go faster than everyone else …….. except he is always last.
Brageeta Mini Magic (Tabitha) - for pony hire, performs & does tricks
Palomino mare, 92cm. Foaled in 1998, registered Miniature Pony. Golden in summer, white in winter when we clip her. Tabitha, as we call her at home, is very pretty which she knows, she is also extremely clever and watches all that goes on at home. One day while I was lunging one of the big horses, Tabitha decided to come over to watch. Billy was being very good and so got a yummy treat. This went on for about four days – lunging, good work, pat, treat and a bucket of food. On the fourth day Tabitha worked out the routine, she suddenly sprung into a trot and proceeded to follow Billy on the lunge for about two circles. Golly, did I laugh and I still have a good giggle when I think about it. And yes, she did get a treat too.
Milo - for pony hire, performs & does tricks
This is Milo, no official registered name although I'm told he should have one as he is very well bred. He started his life in the Echuca region in 2001. He and another little mate were in terribly poor condition because of the drought and so were rescued by a friend who has kindly let us use him for as long as we like. Milo is very cute and very cheeky, is our smallest pony and loves being around people.
Brageeta Every Step A Buckaroo - pony party performer
Oli will be two in November (07) and is our latest addition. Highly sought after bloodlines - Brageeta Rendezvous Buck Happy (sire) out of a Trios Night Ryder mare. We'll be keeping this one entire - we are hoping Oli and Tabitha will get married this spring or the next.

The Shetlands are our riding ponies, they do the Balloonaversal Riding Club Party and Costumed Pony Rides.
Jiminy Nokomis (Nikki) - the pony rides queen
Black Shetland mare, 9 hands. Foaled 20th December 1995. Nikki is a mother of two miniature horse cross Shetland foals. After she finished raising her two children, she came to live with us which was in November 2001.
She has proven to be an absolute gem. She is so gentle with the children and genuinely doesn’t mind kids fawning all over her, making a fuss, grooming. She especially loves cuddles and kisses.
Mal and Nibbles are used for the Themed Pony Rides and as Welsh ponies are larger, we use them for the older kids. Welshies are a leggier, more elegant looking pony and have a reputation as excellent children's mounts. These two are no exception.
Karanga Quicksilver (Mal) - our largest pony rides pony
Beautiful dapple grey gelding, Welsh Pony (section B). 14h.h, bred in 1998. Malachi or Mal for short is our largest pony. (I love to ride him when I find the time). He is such a generous natured pony and absolutely beautiful - and he ought to be, he has a pretty impressive blood line from both sides, many royal champions including Kirreway Overture (his dad).
