Animal Magic Pony Parties Ltd is situated in a small Oxfordshire village called East Hagbourne and we pride ourselves as being one of the best companies of its kind in the market place today. Our standards of animal care is very high all our animals have their own 'bedroom' to come into at night and all receive regular veterinary treatment and inoculations as required. The animals and reptiles are all our pets and are handled and trained on a daily basis by not only adults but young children also. At present our eldest daughter Jasmine (five years old) has taken it upon herself to tame and train our new arrivals, two baby reindeer, she is progressing faster than we can with these young animals. Our approach is quite unique in that we have children to assist us with the daily running and handling of these animals to insure that they are ready to meet the children at the parties we attend.

Sarah Crane (Director) has been involved with animals all her life and is a qualified human and animal chiropractor. Sarah's' love of animals has led her to set up 'Animal Magic Pony Parties' so that she can share her love and experience of these animals to both children and adults alike.

Sarah has extensive knowledge and experience regarding the animals she keeps and cares for having travelled the world and observed them in their own habitat. She is also an experienced scuba diver (travelled the circumference of Australia) and has had the honour of diving with not only sharks but also the largest shark in the world the 'Whale Shark'!

Having travelled the circumference of Australia Sarah does not mind travelling to anywhere in the UK as long distances do not faze her.

For a special touch we can bring along two white doves in a basket with confetti for the bride and groom to release either after the ceremony or at any time during the reception. This is for prosperity, good luck and a happy life together.

If you have children under the age of eight as your bridesmaids or page boys we can bring our Cinderella carriage to deliver them to and from the church (maximum children in the carriage is four at any one time). The carriage comes complete with pony and two footmen (or foot- ladies). This really is magical and very special particularly for the children and bride and groom - a great photo opportunity.

All children under the age of eight years old can then have a ride in the Cinderella carriage to avoid anyone feeling left out as so often occurs at weddings!
