About Hobart Horseplay
Hobart Horseplay is a family-run horse property at Tea Tree, in the rural country between Richmond and Brighton, home to about 60 horses and ponies. Alongside riding lessons and school holiday programs, it hosts birthday parties built around the ponies for riders aged four and up. Every horse is fitted to its rider, so the team asks for a rough height and weight ahead of the day. A party gives the young guests roughly 90 minutes with the horses. Each child has a short led ride, the group sings Happy Birthday from the saddle, and the team then runs a set of games played on horseback. Grown-ups may climb aboard as well, provided they sit within the 90kg rider limit. The fee also covers private use of the clubhouse for around two and a half hours, with a full kitchen and hot drinks facilities on hand. Hosts are welcome to come early to hang decorations, then sit back inside or wander out with a camera while the riding is underway. The base price covers six riders, and extra children can be added until the group reaches about 15 to 20.
