Pony Pizza Parties...it's the new trend in our barn, it should be at yours too!


This past Saturday we had the first (of many) Pony Pizza parties at our farm! Pony Pizza party?! Yes, a crazy, wild, Ponylicious Pizza Party! How did we even come up with the idea? Connie Fry and super fun small business, The Pony Pizza Company.




Connie stumbled upon The Pink Pony  (we love hearing people just finding their way to the blog! So fun!) and messaged me saying she would love to tell me more about her company and possibly be featured. When she told me about her company and I checked them out... my first thought was pizza for ponies?! How brilliantly fun! Connie and The Pony Pizza Company were way too ponylicious to pass up, and after receiving samples, our horses and ponies couldn't deny
that they absolutely belonged on our blog with an amazing feature of their own!




The company was started in 2013. After years of having this great idea, Connie started playing with taste testing her pony pizzas with the help of some very willing participants at her farm. All her taste testers were immediately pizza fanatics just like most of their human counterparts have been for years! Who doesn't love a good pizza, right?  Today, Connie has her scrumptious, gourmet, pony pizzas made in a commercial bakery and is loving meeting new people and seeing how much ponies, horses, puppies and even a few goats truly love her tasty idea.



Since, I typically feature young equestrian fashion and accessories for both child riders and their ponies, I was a little nervous to do a photo shoot for a treat. I was stumped for a little. I really felt like just doing a product shot wasn't enough to showcase the fun spirit this specific treat has. There was also no way Natalie's lively welsh, Sparkle, would not eat a pizza in one swift lick. Then the CRAZY thought crossed my mind, what about a pony pizza party?



 



Sparkle and Natalie both turn 5 in September, so why not celebrate their (early) birthdays with our young barn friends and some ponies from the farm. Fabulous idea in theory, adorable and funny in person, but a bit wild to photograph. Overall, I think the craziness allowed me to capture fun photos showing the fun spirit of this treat.


 


Whether it's an everyday snack or for a special pony pizza party, The Pony Pizza Company is the couture, but fun horse treat your pony (or horse) will love you a little more for! My overly picky OTTB ate them right up without a second thought, and that is really saying something! Check them out and host your own pony pizza party, it is a fun way to spend time with ponylicious friends and make some wild pony pizza memories!





You can purchase your own pony pizzas with two topping choices, Mint-O-Roni or Molasses Sausage, as well as options of mini pizzas or a full sized 9 inch pizza that is delivered in a real pizza box!

I really enjoyed trying something different with this feature, and Connie was great to work with. She started showing her daughters horse, Nate, when her daughter left for college almost 10 years ago and hasn't stopped since. She recently purchased a bright, 5 year old Hanovarian mare," Fanci That," on which she is currently showing hunters in the baby green division! This pony loving mom has got it going on! Juggling motherhood, riding and a small business is crazy, but Connie does it well, something you will totally see and appreciate while sharing one of her yummy pony pizzas with your favorite pony!
