Below you will find a list of the variety of great ways you can visit Oregon Dream Ponies.
Kids and ponies – is there a more joyful combination? Oregon Dream Ponies provides a venue for the smallest horse lovers to enjoy ponies & learn something too 🙂 Starting for children as young as 2 years old. The Pony Ride Experience has attracted children from all over the world as a lifetime of memories are created during this dream pony ride. The Pony Ride Experience has also been a popular birthday gift (experience) for a pony crazy child.
Children discover how to safely pet, brush, and saddle the pony, with plenty of time to ride, and ample guidance to keep kids safe. This private hour closes with the child thanking their pony by feeding their pony a treat.
Fun & learning for the entire family unfolds during your visit. Children have so much fun they will want to come back again. Numerous families come back regularly for more as each time a child visits. With each subsequent visit, we provide new and developmental experiences while riding and interacting with the pony.
Special Note: Children who are shy or have special needs have found great success here at the ranch with The Pony Ride Experience and more. With a background in professional teaching and ponies, Cowgirl Kim will customize each experience to meet a child right where they are at. Parents have shared time and time again that they cannot believe how much their child was able to accomplish in this hour.
The Pony Ride Experiences are held at the gorgeous Taylor Hillside Farm & Ranch surrounded by Newberg’s developing wine country. Pony Ride Experiences are offered in two formats starting at $299.
Children ages 2 and older spend a magical time riding a Unicorn all their own. Children create a Unicorn of their dreams decorating with ribbons and choosing their Unicorn Horn color (rainbow, pink, blue, gold sparkles, silver sparkles and more). Once decorated children will ride their Unicorn creating numerous photo opportunities. The Unicorn Ride Experience concludes with children thanking their Unicorn feeding them a treat. The Unicorn Ride Experience is available most weekends and by appointment. Weekend availability typically offered Saturday and Sunday at 11am and 1pm. 1 unicorn, 1 child $299, 1 unicorn, 2 children $399

We love creating custom experiences! Recently, we had a wonderfully thoughtful husband call and ask about setting up an experience for his wife and 2 sons. He went on to share that his wife has loved horses all her life and wanted to see what might be possible to create a visit for the boys and his wife to share. After a bit of conversation around what he thought would be successful, we created an hour visit where mom had her own horse, and the boys shared a pony. Mom and the sons helped get the pony and horse ready for riding. During the riding portion, each son got to ride with mom allowing mom to ride the entire time. Dad’s job was to take pictures and videos capturing this special time together. What an experience! Dad shared that this was much more than he had expected and was so grateful for the special time we were able to create for everyone. And the best part was that the dad was able to keep it a secret all the way up until they arrived!
A while ago, a family arranged a small family reunion including pony and horse rides for everyone. The highlight of the event had to be when the family matriarch decided she would ride. At 87 years old, Avis smiled and told stories of her childhood while riding. Family members cheered as Avis rode first at the walk and then at the trot just like she was a child riding on her family’s plow horse. Avis’s daughter shared that she had not seen her mother that happy in a long time. A few months after the family reunion, Avis’s daughter called and asked if she could set up regular visits for Avis to ride like she did the day of the reunion. We set up a series of 1-hour visits where Avis and I rode together in the covered arena playing games and activities just like we were kids. We will always cherish the time we were able to support Avis.

ABOUT US
Oregon Dream Ponies fulfills a lifelong dream for Bob & Kim Taylor. Growing up in an urban lifestyle, Kim rode every pony ride in Oregon dreaming all the while of having a horse for her very own. As a child, Kim tried to convince her mom that there was room for a pony to live in the garage.
Bob's dream of owning property and running a family business became a reality in June of 2010, when they purchased 5 beautiful acres in Newberg, Oregon. The Taylors now enjoy the peace and hard work of an agrarian lifestyle with 10 ponies & horses, a bunch of chickens, 4 ducks, 4 dogs, 3 cats and 5 sheep at the Taylor Hillside Farm and Ranch.
