ollie and Friends

Ollie & Friends Therapy & Party Ponies is a family-run business offering pony experiences for children and community events. Founded by Sharon Garrett in memory of Timmy, who lived with tuberous sclerosis, the business combines celebrations with charitable support. A portion of income from private hire and public appearances is donated to Great Ormond Street Hospital, and the team also provides free visits and therapy sessions for hospices and organisations supporting terminally ill and disadvantaged children.

Services include custom birthday parties, pony rides, grooming, dress-up sessions and appearances at fetes, festivals and other events. Parties can feature themes such as superheroes, unicorns, bees, and prince and princess costumes. Each pony is accompanied by an experienced handler, with care taken to support the animals’ wellbeing and keep guests safe. The ponies also visit care homes, where residents can enjoy individual and group interactions. Ollie & Friends serves Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire. Rider height and weight restrictions apply.
