Combo Packages You don’t have to choose between pony rides or a petting zoo. Most event planners do both. If you’re planning a small festival, you may choose a couple of hand led ponies and a traditional farm themed petting zoo. For a larger event, you may opt for a live pony 4 or 6 pony carousel, a petting zoo, and even some specialty add on animals.
Traditional Petting Zoos Choose a 8, 12 or 15 or 40 animal petting zoo. All zoos include chickens, ducks, rabbits, sheep, goats, an alpaca and either miniature horse or miniature donkey.
Children get to feed the animals. Hand sanitizer provided.
Pony Rides Deciding how many ponies you’ll want depends on your crowd size. Smaller events usually include 1 or 2 hand led ponies, while larger events can feature a 4 or 6 pony carousel. A good rule of thumb is that each pony can give up to 20 rides in an hour. Request a large pony for children over 75 lbs.
Christmas and Easter Petting zoos and live nativities make a great addition to your Christmas or Easter program.
We offer 2 size Nativity packages and even include 2 costumed attendants.

We had a great experience with Chamberlain Pony Rides and have hired them more than once for our Southminster Presbyterian Church Community event Animalpalooza and we look forward to hiring them again in the future! Thank you to Tom and Kim’s team who are exceptional at what they do to make our event a success for kids in the neighborhood!

Our families at St. Kieran Catholic Church (in Shelby Township) LOVE when Chamberlin visits and we've engaged them at least 5 times over the past 2+ years -- in the Fall for our picnic (petting zoo & pony rides) and in December for our Live Nativity event. Their event managers are very easy to work with. They are always on time and are friendly and professional. They bring a good variety of beautiful animals to each event (large & small)...their camel steals the show each December. We've already scheduled them for next year's events.

Chamberlain Pony Rides and Mobile Petting Zoo have been one of the best parts of our Harvest Fests at First Flint Seventh-day Adventist Church for nearly 10 years. Scheduling is easy and reliable. The staff is amazing. Judy was our vendor this year. As always they are punctual, efficient and super friendly and patient with the children. Children loved the petting zoo every bit as much as the pony rides. The animals are clean and well trained. They definitely meet and exceed expectations. We are already looking forward to next year’s Harvest Fest with them as our featured event.th her and her friends. Jenny and her assistant were great with the kids.
