About Longstocking Stables
Ponies make the days better!
Experience the joy of pony rides and unforgettable parties! Our friendly ponies are perfect for kids of all ages, providing a fun and safe environment for your celebration. Whether it's a birthday party or a special event, our pony rides will create lasting memories for everyone. Join us for a day filled with laughter, excitement, and the of ponies!
Our main ponies are Piccolo (brown and white) and Petunia (solid black). While the little cowboys and cowgirls wait for their turn to ride Petunia, Piccolo is there for them to brush and love on. Petunia can handle riders up to 120 pounds and under 5’4” tall. While she may be a slightly larger pony than your average pony ride pony, her size allows for all party goers to take a turn. They are ready to make your day extraordinary!
Pony Parties
A magical day for your little riders
During a pony party, your guests will enjoy a full hour of pony rides, time to brush and love on, and taking the cutest photos! The pony(s) and I arrive 15 or so minutes early to your event to get set up and ready. Once we are ready, the pony fun begins! If one hour isn't enough, additional time can be scheduled. When our time is up, I load the ponies back up, clean up anything left behind, and leave you with unforgettable memories!
Our sweet Petunia can be dressed up as as a sparkly pony with tinsel in her hair and painted glittery hooves or as a unicorn! You decide what is best for you! For an additional fee of $25, Piccolo can join the fun and be there for your guests while they wait for their turn on Petunia.
Parties start at $250 within 20 minutes of my home in Zimmerman, but we will travel all over the cities to your event! There is an additional fee for traveling farther from our home.
Our Services
We offer a range of riding lessons tailored to fit every skill level, from beginners to advanced riders. Our experienced instructors provide personalized training to help you achieve your riding goals, whether it be mastering the basics or cultivating special skills. We provide English and Western riding, with a focus on natural horsemanship, no matter the tack.
Mobile Pony Parties
My ponies and I travel all over the Twin Cities to bring the magic of horses and ponies (and unicorns!) to your event. While we are based in Zimmerman, we can travel throughout Minnesota. Whether you want a sparkly pony or a unicorn, we can do that! Let us help you make unforgettable memories!

Meet Our Team
The people and ponies that make it possible
Anna Hill
Anna Hill is a passionate equestrian with over a decade of experience in teaching riding. Riding since she was 9, she’s traveled the country learning from the best to hone her skills as a rider and an instructor. Rider safety, fun, and excellence are her pillars for educating riders.
Below are listed our pony party ponies, but we also have horses for all sized riders, and they are available for lessons/events at the farm in Zimmerman, MN.
Petunia
Petunia is a solid black pony of unknown breeding. Rescued at a young age by the Minnesota Hooved Animal Rescue Foundation, she was adopted by Longstocking Stables in 2020. With careful training and love, Petunia has become a barn favorite for riders of all ages. Petunia loves to give riders their first ride and is so gentle with her young riders.
Piccolo
Piccolo is our littlest and cutest pony. Our little Piccolo is also a rescue and has been part of our herd since late 2019. He is as cuddly as he is adorable. Piccolo loves to stand to be brushed for hours and will gladly accept any treats you may want to give him. While Piccolo doesn't give pony rides these days, he loves to join Petunia at events.
