Friendly Pony Partles"'Rain Policy" is based on twenty-nine years of providing reliable service to the greater Bay Area.
We are a rain or shine company which means you can count on us to be there for your eventl We can set the zoo up in a garage or under an awning
and suggest that you tell your guests to bring a change of clothes for their children and their rain gearl We can carry umbrellas over the children as they
ride the ponies and have funl The children generally don't mind at all and actually find it more like an adventure. With this said, we have done this for
twenty-nine years and rarely end up working in the rainlll :) This Is so often the case, that at this point, we even jokingly say we have an "IN" with the
rain godsl No refund Is offered due to a cancellation due to weather, but you may reschedule at a mutually agreed upon time within one year, This is a
decision that must be made by 8A0 AM on the day of your event. Please type initials here
