The Mini Pony Show is always a work in progress! 2022 was our debut year, and the show went down an absolute storm! Displays comprise all manner of trickery imaginable between the ponies, Rosie, and the audience. There's fancy liberty footwork, dog agility ponies, a mathematician pony, a one man pony band, plenty of audience participation and even a death defying balancing act! In 2023 we added a remarkable five-hoop jump, and more mischief and mayhem than ever before. Training for the 2024 season is well under way - who knows what the ponies will get up to next!
With beautiful vintage inspired costumes, lively commentary, up-beat soundtracks and a plethora of razzle dazzle, The Mini Pony Show is an equestrian attraction like you’ve never seen before!
We can cater for many different kinds of events and venues. All our performances aim to inspire, delight, enchant and excite, whilst also provide an insight into the amazing world of equestrian performance art. The incredible level of communication between Rosie and the ponies will have you enthralled from start to finish.
We provide three twenty minute shows per day, all of which take place in our custom built round pen, and each followed by a meet and greet session allowing you to ask questions and interact with all performers - human and equine!
The Mini Pony Show is a completely self contained static side attraction. All we need supplying is a suitable space, access to fresh water, and the rest is down to us! We always try to arrive on site the evening before an event, in order to get set up and allow the ponies time to settle. Sites are always left as clean and tidy as possible – we are good campers!
Please note we are a static side attraction, not an arena act. Where we set up will be where all performances take place throughout the day.
Meet the Team
Meet Rolo and Sprout - the sweetest little duo you'll ever see! What they lack in size they more than make up for with character, these little boys are both bursting at the seams with personality! They're double trouble for sure and cannot wait to entertain everyone with their antics.
Both boys are Miniature Bristish Spotted Ponies. Born a few days apart in May 2018 Rolo stands just 36" tall, whilst Sprout is a mighty 32"!
Sprout's real name is Pennies Jazz Pants, but he arrived here at Christmas time when he was only seven months old, and because he was small and round the nickname Sprout stuck! Although he's the smallest he's definitely got the most attitude. He's so sassy it's ridiculous - he prances about all over the place snorting like a little spotty dragon!
Rolo is Sprout's best friend, and arrived here when he was just six months old. Rolo is always the first at the stable door or gate in the mornings, and although he can be quite nervous sometimes, he's actually very sweet and friendly - he's always the one whickering a greeting!
Since 1995 when Rosie first became involved in equestrian vaulting she has been passionate about performing. Competing on the British Team from 1995 until 1998, Rosie retired from competition in 2004. She then followed up her interest in alternative equestrianism by joining the Devil’s Horsemen, working there full time before returning to university to finish her degree in Equine and Human Sports Science in 2006. Since then Rosie has worked for the Devil’s Horsemen on a freelance basis, performing in many of their equestrian shows as well as working on countless film and TV productions, both nationally and internationally. From 2007 until 2011 Rosie was a primary member of Jive Pony, and in 2012 Rosie branched out on her own as Galloping Acrobatics. From then until 2020 Rosie and her team performed equestrian acts as main arena entertainment for events all over the country, from the top of Scotland to the tip of Cornwall! As a trick rider and Roman rider, Rosie has also been seen performing for Atkinson’s Action Horses – which she always absolutely loved! Rosie is also a Level Two Equestrian Vaulting Coach and has taught people from all walks of life and of all abilities just how special vaulting is. With the birth of her daughter, Orla, in August 2019 (just five days after performing at a show!) Rosie is now excited for her latest venture - The Mini Pony Show! With her love of performance combining with all the skills she has gained in over twenty-five years, The Mini Pony Show is destined to be a show you’ll never forget!
