PONY RIDES - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHEN ARE YOU OPEN FOR PONY RIDES? 7 DAYS A WEEK, SUNRISE TO SUNSET. IF YOU HAPPEN TO COME TO THE RANCH AND CAN'T FIND ANYONE, FIND THE PLAYGROUND AREA A WAIT A SHORT TIME. WE ARE NEVER GONE FROM THE RANCH LONG. IT ALSO HELPS TO SEARCH AROUND THE STABLE AREA, AS SOMETIMES WE ARE FEEDING OR CARING FOR THE HORSES.
CAN WE BRING A PICNIC WITH US WHEN WE HAVE A PONY RIDE? NO, WE USUALLY HAVE PARTIES GOING ON DURING THE WEEKENDS AND SOMETIMES DURING THE WEEK, AND CONFLICTS ARISE WHEN 2 GROUPS ARE TRYING TO HAVE A PICNIC IN THE SAME AREA. THE POKI RONI RANCH IS LOCATED NEXT TO LOMALAND CITY PARK, AND THERE ARE EXCELLANT PICNIC FACILITIES THERE.
DO WE NEED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR A PONY RIDE? YOU DON'T HAVE TO, BUT YOU MAY CALL 591-3074 OR 593-5336 JUST TO MAKE SURE SOMEONE IS AT THE RANCH TO SADDLE UP A PONY.
HOW DOES THE PONY RIDE WORK? YOU GET THE PONY FOR HALF AN HOUR AND YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR LEADING YOUR LITTLE ONE OR LITTLE ONES AROUND A SCENIC TRAIL. DEPENDING ON YOUR PACE, YOU CAN PROBABLY GO AROUND THE ENTIRE 14 ACRE TRAIL ONCE OR TWICE IN YOUR 30 MINUTES. AFTER THE PONY RIDE, YOU HAVE ANOTHER 30 MINUTES TO PLAY ON THE FORT COYOTE PLAYGROUND AND JUMP IN THE JUMPING BALLON. YOU ALSO, OF COURSE, HAVE ACCESS TO OUR FULL SRVICE RESTROOMS.
CAN WE JUST COME TO THE RANCH AND LOOK AT THE ANIMALS? YES. THE PLAYGROUND AND THE TIRE SWINGS ARE FOR PAYING CUSTOMERS ONLY, SO IT SOMETIMES PAYS TO GET A PONY RIDE AND THEN PLAY ON THE PLAYGROUND! WE HAVE TO SAVE OUR PARK AREA FOR PAYING CUSTOMES, OR WE WOULD BE SWAMPED WITH WEST TEXANS BY THE THOUSANDS!
