We’re at Laverton Market today! 🎉

We’re in a different location this weekend due to the festival, so you’ll find us near the camels 🐪.

We’ll also be offering face painting throughout the weekend. 🎨

Come by and say hello — we’d love to see you! 😊

Yesterday went exactly as planned.
I’m not going to say anything because these photos just say it all.

Look close at the Mother and son photo’s because they just melted my heart.

Western Charm Pony Rides just keeps giving to our beautiful families ❤️

🐴 APOLLO IS BACK AGAIN TODAY 🐴

04/08/2026

A huge shoutout to Kirsty Mann & Trev's Toys. 💕
I've said it before, and I’ll say it again—without you both encouraging (and yes, hassling!) me to take the leap, Western Charm Pony Rides wouldn't be where it is today.

I absolutely love what we do. Seeing so many familiar families return weekend after weekend means the world to us.

Anyone who knows me knows I always try to go above and beyond. Sometimes that means giving a child a free ride when we feel it's needed, but what we're most passionate about is helping children who are nervous or scared of ponies.

We never rush them, we take the time to build their confidence, and it's the most rewarding feeling watching a frightened little face turn into a huge smile... often with them not wanting to get off! 🥹🐴

We hear so many parents tell us, "They never go to anyone," yet before long they're happily in my arms, smiling from ear to ear. Those are the moments that make everything worthwhile.

We always encourage parents to take plenty of photos and videos because the smiles on their faces are often just as big as their children's. ❤️

🐴 AND NOW... APOLLO IS COMING! 🐴

Apollo will be making his grand debut this weekend at Laverton Market!

The best part!…….
Adults can ride too! So bring the whole family and create some unforgettable memories with both our big and little riders. It's the perfect opportunity for some amazing family photos!

The response has already been incredible, with so many people messaging us. We can't wait to see everyone this Saturday 8th August and Sunday 9th August at Laverton Market! 🥰

Come and experience the magic of Western Charm Pony Rides—we can't wait to meet you all! ❤️

🎉 The time has come… 🎉

We've had so many adults ask if they could have a pony ride too—and whether we'd bring one of our horses along so they can finally make that childhood dream come true this weekend at Laverton Market.

So we're thinking… why not? 🐴✨

Let us know in the comments if you'd love a turn in the saddle!
If there's enough interest, we'll make it happen. 🤠

Photo’s from the weekend! 📸

It was great to see so many of our regulars stopping by to say hello.
Saturday was wet and miserable, but that didn't stop our little riders!
They were busy convincing their parents to bring them over for a ride on Buzz or Memphis.
Rain or shine, the smiles made it all worthwhile not just for the kids but parents as well! 🐴❤️

We had a well known person come and visit Western Charm Pony Rides at Laverton Market….

Woody from Will and Woody radio station KIIS 101.1 fm 3-6pm loved seeing his daughter have an amazing time with Jasper.

*** Memories that last a lifetime ❤️ ***

Looking back on these photos fills my heart with so much joy. ❤️

From events and markets to birthday parties, every smile captured reminds us of the fun, laughter, and special moments we've shared with so many wonderful families.

One of the greatest gifts has been the friendships we've made along the way. We love encouraging families to stop, take a photo, and create memories they can treasure for a lifetime.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey—we can't wait to make many more magical memories together. ✨

24/07/2026

This Weekend at Laverton Market! 🐴❤️

We'll be at Laverton Markets this Saturday & Sunday, with pony rides running until 3:00 pm both days!

To all the families who have been patiently waiting for your little riders' photos... they're finally here! ❤️📸

We've had so many wonderful smiles and memories to capture thanks to how busy we've been, so there's lots to upload! 🐴✨

We can't wait to see everyone again this weekend.

Don't forget to ask us about our LOYALTY CARDS for our little riders – a great way to earn rewards for future pony rides! 🌟
