Welcome to Clip Clop Pony Rides and Donkey Hire

Nestled in the picturesque countryside of Moorgreen, Nottinghamshire, we have been proudly providing pony and donkey hire since 2011 — you could even say it’s been donkey’s years. Over that time, we’ve built a reputation for offering memorable, family‑friendly experiences with our gentle and well‑cared‑for animals.

We travel within a 40‑mile radius of NG16 2AA, bringing our wonderful four‑legged friends directly to your chosen venue. Our team is committed to creating a safe, enjoyable, and engaging experience for guests of all ages.

From birthday parties and weddings to Easter celebrations, Christmas events, school visits, and community gatherings, we’re here to add something truly special to your occasion. Every event is tailored to suit your needs, ensuring a smooth, stress‑free experience from start to finish.

For your peace of mind, we are fully insured and hold an Exhibiting of Animals Licence issued by Broxtowe Borough Council. The welfare of our ponies and donkeys is at the heart of everything we do, and we take great pride in maintaining the highest standards of care.

“I would like to say a massive thank you to Clip Clop ponies for travelling a long way to make my daughters 6th birthday so special. She loved the unicorns and Elsa and Anna. All the children were keen to have pony rides even the boys! The ponies were brilliant and looked amazing transformed into unicorns. All the staff were friendly and interacted brilliantly with the children making the whole party a success and memorable experience for everyone. Thank you again and thank you for braving the cold.”
