JJ the mini horse will be a guest at Lord Stirling Stable’s pony tea party.
It’s a morning just made for children under age 13 (and their parents) when Lord Stirling Stable hosts the Pony Tea Party Aug. 19 from 10 a.m.-noon at 256 South Maple Ave., Basking Ridge.
The tea party will include lead-line pony rides for children; games including Little Tyke Horseshoes, Pony Tic-Tac-Toe, and others; a tractor-pulled wagon hay ride; a pony-themed story and light refreshments, including iced tea, lemonade, and cake. Guests also will have the opportunity to meet JJ, Lord Stirling Stable’s newest mini horse, standing only 9 hands high.
Children should be old enough to sit up and hold onto a pony without assistance. Guests are invited to wear “fancy” tea party garb (feather boas, frilly hats, gloves, etc.). Guests are requested to wear closed-toed shoes for safety and comfort.
The fee is $20 per child/parent pair; additional siblings under the age of 13 years may attend for $10 each. Please register online at www.somersetcountyparks.org using the code 80005-27 or call the office at 908-722-1200, ext. 5010.
