Children and animals! I never get tired of watching them. They are just so darn cute together! The children's wide eyes filled with wonder, their amazement while gently petting a soft bunny or a fluffy chicken. The laughter and curiosity is just delightful. Some of them are apprehensive when they realize that there is something smaller than them and it is a living breathing creature. Some children just want to watch the animals for a while. They aren't sure if they want to reach out and touch it or not, even if their parents encourages them.

Other children are fearless and once they spot the animals it seems as though they are on a personal mission to touch and examine each and every animal. Regardless of what their reaction is - they are always captivated by the animals. Our animals are also available for photo shoots and as animal actors. Scroll down to the bottom of our training page for a list of tricks our horses perform! Several of our horses and petting zoo animals have been used in professional photo shoots for holiday cards, calendars and scenic brochures. News Flash! Look for our horses pictured with children on billboards and in magazine ads for Ralph Lauren's 2007 line of fall fashions for children's clothes.

Our horses were selected to work with some very famous child models. It was very exciting and a special honor for us to be chosen! Having a photo booth at your carnival or fundraiser event can be a big draw. Many families have a treasured photo of grandpa or grandma with a pony. Do you know any parents or grandparents who would like to have a photo of their special child with a miniature horse or pony? We can provide a backdrop, a photographer and all the gear needed to produce a nice color 3x5 or 4x6 photo in just a few minutes!
