Pony Rentals

Pony Rentals

Forest View Farms have been bringing ponies to birthday parties, corporate events, picnics, and other special occasions in Chicagoland for over 35 years! We will bring one, two, three, or many more ponies with handlers (or on a wheel) to help make your event a huge success. A pony party can take place at your location or at Forest View Farms, whichever is more convenient for you.
