Location, Location, Location!
1. How much space outside do you have?
2. Is it a fairly flat surface?
3. Is it covered sufficiently with grass to create a comfortable area for the animals ?
4. If you want the driving pony, do you have enough room for the pony to pull the cart without going into the street?
5. Do you have sufficient shade for the petting zoo during the event, especially in the Summer?
6. Is the location close to a supply of outside water for the animals?
If not, we can supply our own.
7. How many children do you expect to particapate and what is the age range? This information makes it possible to bring the correct sized pony to your event for pony rides.
When we arrive at your event location, usually 30 to 45 minutes before your activities begin, we will set up a free-standing panel fencing for the petting zoo animals. If you have a small area, we can sculpture the fencing and number of animals to suit. If we are to set up on cement (driveway or parking lot) we provide a tarp on the concrete, lay hay over the tarp and set the panel fencing on the hay. In this way, when we are finished, we roll the tarp up and put it into the trailer. Only a few wisps of hay may remain. We always pick up after the petting zoo animals whether on the hay or on your grass.
