My Story
About me
Hi! My name is Connie, and I have had a lifelong passion for animals with over 68 years of hands-on experience caring for, raising, and training a wide variety of animals. I currently own horses, goats, sheep, ducks, chickens, rabbits, and more on my farm in rural West Michigan.
I absolutely love working with children and helping them experience animals up close, especially kids who may have never been around farm animals before. Seeing their excitement and curiosity is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.
I have extensive experience with horses, including competing nationally and internationally and participating in carriage rides and other equestrian events throughout the years. My animals are well-loved, well cared for, and very used to being around children and families.
I look forward to helping create fun, educational, and memorable experiences for guests of all ages!
Some of my favorite memories
We had Connie and her team bring their pony and petting zoo to my daughter Harper’s 5th birthday party, and they provided an unmatched and truly unforgettable experience! From start to finish, they were absolutely amazing. Connie and her team were so engaged with the kids and did an incredible job making sure every child had a chance to interact with the animals and have a great time.
The pony and petting zoo were definitely the highlight of the party, and the experience was even better than we could have hoped for. The kids, and honestly, the adults too, absolutely loved it! Connie was wonderful to work with, and her energy and attention to the kids made such a difference.
We are so grateful to Connie for helping make Harper’s 5th birthday so special and memorable. We would absolutely book with her again and hope to have the opportunity to do so in the future! Highly recommend Connie and her team to anyone looking to create a truly special experience for their event! 🐴🐐🐰💕
