The crafts and activities:
The pony rides station was all set up with a lawn sign and hay bales to wait on while everyone took their turn (or 3) riding the pony, Blue. Once we got inside and ate each girl got to make her own Derby Hat from a selection of supplies I had picked out. The craft was simple and only took about 10 minutes, which is the perfect length of time for a 3-5 year old’s attention span. I also pre-made “pony tails” for each girl to wear while they raced around on the hobby horses. We also played “Pin the Bow on the Pony” which was tons of fun for the girls.
The favors:
I hand made a satin bow for each guest and attached them to a canvas board that I made. Each girl got a trophy, meticulously designed by Piggy Bank Parties, that she could fill up with sixlets, gumballs, kisses, and pony stickers, too.
Beautiful party! Love the color scheme! The ribbon and yarn “pony tails” on the back of those little chairs are darling! Love the glittery ribbons, too! Looks like such a fun party!
Stacy such a fantastic job and I can not wait to plan Lauren’s horse party this summer. Sounds like our girls are a lot a like!

I have been on Picasa for DAYS trying to make a chalkboard menu. Can’t figure out how to add the “dingbats” for decoration. Can you offer any assistance?
Horses and hair bow party theme sounds really unique and interesting.Decorations are so good and I like cookies toppers the most.

I would love to find out how you made or where I could buy the “pin the bow on the pony” game!!! SO darling.
Yes, I am interested in how you made the pin the bow on the pony also! Do you have a link to the file? Thanks!
I Love the party!!! So darling!! I was wondering how you made the pin the bow on the horse? My daughter is having a pony party as well and would love to incorporate this!
I had my invitation designer make the file and then had it printed on a banner at Staples.
Stacy, how did you create the large menu board that looks like a chalkboard? I’d love to do a similar one for my daughter’s 3rd bday party. Great job, everything looks gorgeous!
