Meet the Animals at Little Hooves Farm: A Fun, Family-Friendly Experience

When you visit Ponderosa Campground, there’s more to explore than just beautiful campgrounds and serene outdoor spaces. One of the highlights of our campground is our Little Hooves Farm—a perfect destination for animal lovers of all ages. Whether you're a family with young kids, a couple on a weekend getaway, or a solo traveler looking for a unique experience, our petting farm offers a chance to meet and interact with a variety of friendly animals.

Meet the Stars of the Farm

At the farm, you’ll encounter a delightful variety of animals, each with their own personality. Some of our animal residents include:


Prince is a 20-year-old unicorn pony. When we rescued Prince, he had some trust issues. He is still shy, but he gives the best pony kisses.


Hank, our Mini Highland cow, is only a year and a half old. He is the best cuddle bug and loves being in front of the camera!


Tigger is an eight-year-old mini pony. He was neglected and sent to a livestock auction, where we rescued him. Tigger loves to chat and is full of life.

  

Noel is one of our younger goats. She was born here on the farm in July 2022. She is a spunky little girl and loves running around the pen and getting the other goats excited.


You’ll also meet other animals, including rabbits, goats, sheep, cows, horses—each with its own story and charm. These animals make for fantastic photo opportunities, so bring your camera and snap a picture with your new furry or feathered friends!

A Fun and Educational Experience for All Ages

Not only is Little Hooves Farm fun, but it’s also educational. Children and adults alike can learn about the care and feeding of farm animals and how they live in harmony with the natural environment.

  

Spending time with these animals offers the perfect opportunity to bond with your loved ones while learning something new. It’s a unique way to connect with nature, right here on our campground site.
