How I ended up with my first pony at age 10

My parents are not horsey AT ALL, but after me rocking my rocking horse all around the living room at the age of 5, my mother relented and took me for pony rides at the local pony centre. By the

Oh well what a party it was for my 6 year old daughter. Best yet! It was fabulous thank you so much Amanda you made it... truly perfect for my daughter and your lovely helpers were fantastic with the kids too.

I couldn’t recommend Amanda enough she is so helpful in every way to accommodating to all age groups, to helping set up the room, to putting on an extra pony and not forgetting putting up with my million questions before the event. She really is fantastic would highly recommend in every way.

She was extremely organised to make sure the party went smoothly creating a timetable and remembering all the children names. The adults and children adored her thank you so so much Amanda.

Great entertainer great party host.read more

We had a wonderful time for my daughters 7th birthday. Amanda was amazing with my daughters she talked all about... unicorns and how to care for them. She let them dress up the unicorn with all bows and ribbons before my daughter got to ride her unicorn. After a couple of laps round and my daughter was happy she took her into the orchid where she had a good ride round. After this she helped to put the unicorn to bed. This is all done in Amanda’s garden which made the experience so special there was just us there it was not rushed and the little details are there to make it a wonderful experience. My daughter has special needs and all her capabilities where taken into consideration to make her dream well and truly come true.read more

Arranged my daughters birthday party here. The owner was very prompt in replying & answered all our questions, offering... advice for what we had in mind. On the day, six 7 year olds arrived very excited. Amanda was very knowledgeable & talked to the kids in a way they all listened & paid attention. The pony was very relaxed & didn’t mind all the fuss with the bows, stickers etc. Then in pairs the girls went around the orchard to collect prizes. The other girls did crafts in the marquee, all provided by Amanda. Once everyone had had their go we went into the marquee for the birthday tea & cake. We had a glorious sunny day & this was a great way to spend a birthday. I’d have no hesitation in recommending Amanda & her ponies for a party. Thank you.read more

We recently had my daughter’s 4th birthday party with Amanda and it was beyond expectation! Lovely set up, attention to... detail, and really well run. There were 9 children at the party ranging from 18 months to 4 years and they all had a blast. Decorating the ponies, crafts, riding, treasure hunts - it’s literally a small kid’s dream.
Thank you so much!read more

We took 4 very excited 5/6 girls for a unicorn encounter this week. Amanda was amazing, everything was thought of and... the girls loved every second of it, she even had some very clever answers for some of the girls questions to really make them believe they were looking after a unicorn. I can’t recommend Cheshire Pony Parties enough, especially as all areas of social distancing were abided by. the entire time we were there we felt safe but also allowed to really enjoy the morning. Just look at them happy faces!read more

I booked the pony experience for my granddaughter as a pre birthday surprise ( she turned four three days after... ).
We turned up not knowing what to expect, we had decided not to tell the little one.
We were met by Amanda who explained everything we all had to do in regards of covid 19 , she made us all feel very welcome and very safe.
My granddaughter (Pippa) was introduced to Poppy , this very excited little girl groomed Poppy , put ribbons on her and stickers then walked Poppy around with Amanda , she was then put on Poppy by her Nanna ( again covid 19 safety precautions being shown ) we were led into the orchard which Pippa loved (and so did granddad)
A fantastic experience for any little girl 10/10 Amanda , and thank you no doubt we will see you againread more

The activities are also good they had crafts for people waiting to ride which I thought was s brilliant idea. Thanks for such a lovely day Demi and Kane twins xxread more

Amanda is very friendly and was great with the girls (and our 3 year old son). She made the party fun and it was stress free for the adults. A really lovely day. Thank you 😊read more

I am not a horrible person and I always support private business especially something to do with kids or animals as... it’s hard work . I didn’t want to put anything negative but as we exchanged a few Emails with Amanda the way she was handling it and was throwing back to me what I did Wrong I thought it’s very sad and unprofessional. I felt really sad and left a bad experience even though I didn’t think it was so bad on the day .All these good comments are for a visit as one to one and I suppose I wouldn’t had problem if that was a case , but it was my daughters birthday party with more people involved.I haven’t done anything without permission of the person who was in charge . I only commented that there is toilet but no water to wash hands at all just wipes and sanitizer, kids table inside stables surrounded by flies .kids touching pony , going to toilet and eating food after sanitizer shouldn’t be only option for health and safety ! 6 kids and only one pony takes time for everyone to have a go and because I gave her my personal criticism to her private email I got accused for staying over time which I asked again the person ( her daughter Jess ) if it’s ok and she said yes . I have been told I should be happy she didn’t take extra money for that . When I said in my opinion it’s overpriced for what it is she told me I should have gone somewhere cheaper . I just think it’s sad that paying £210 for 6 kids to stroke one pony and be there 2 hours with my own party food I have to be happy what’s given . In the other hand I want to say thank you very much to Jess (her daughter ) she was very patient and kind and obviously wrong for being human and allowing us to feel happy and not all about the money she will earn extra in 30 min extra stay on the bench ! Thank you Amandaread more
