We offer special prices for Senior Centers
Petting zoos aren’t just for kids. Everyone will love visiting with our interactive animals. Petting zoos make an excellent addition to your National Nursing Home Week or other planned activity.
Chamberlin has been providing seniors in Michigan with excellent animal entertainment since we began in 2000, and we are happy to provide you with references. Some facilities opt for a small, indoor petting zoo, as an interactive experience that can really liven up those winter months. Others invite the petting zoo, pony rides or easy entry mini-horse cart rides (hold 350 pounds), for an outdoor adventure that seniors may enjoy with their families.
When you book with Chamberlin Pony Rides, you will receive:
Set up inside on a tarp, with complete clean-up included
19 years of experience in working with small budgets, space restrictions, & uncooperative weather
Clean, friendly, engaging animals and a highly interactive learning experience
A company that is USDA licensed and fully insured
Special senior facility prices for your event
A very professional staff

I work in a Senior living community and I’ve been using Chamberlin for many years now. The workers are great with our residents and family members. The events have always been huge hits and the residents absolutely love the animals!

Westlake Health Camus in Commerce, Michigan celebrated the Kentucky Derby with a beautiful horse from Chamberlain. She was gentle and residents were able to pet her and feed her. She even came into some resident's rooms to spread some cheer. Her owner Melisa was most accommodating, and fun was had by all! We will see you again next year!

We hired Chamberlin to come to our assisted living facility for Grandparents Day. Booking was easy. The price was just right. Everything was perfect. We got the Labadie's as our Event Managers both Melissa and Bryan were easy and wonderful to work with. The animals were clean and adorable. Our residents really enjoyed everything. It was a great event. I will definitely hire them again. Thank you for a such a lovely afternoon. The bubble machine was also a huge hit with our residents and their grandchildren.

Seniors love animals
SENIORS RIDING HORSES
Many times throughout the years, Chamberlin has been honored to give rides to seniors. While people often think "pony rides" are just for kids, we have been fortunate enough to be a part of assisting seniors to relive fond memories of days past. Or sometimes it was to fulfill a bucket list.
Why invite Chamberlin to your facility
We sincerely thank the many senior facilities who have invited Chamberlin to be a part of these amazing events. We look forward to Grandparents Day each year. And we thank you for allowing us to be a part of your special day.
