Horse Themed Birthday Party

RE: Horse Themed Birthday Party Post By Gabriela (Guest Post) (06/18/2008) I'm having my daughter's 5th birthday in September and the theme she picked is Horses. Lucy to be more specific, the horse she rides. Since she takes English riding lessons the whole western thing just won't work. I also need to have it in a party hall or on my backyard because I'll have over 30 kids and the stables near us just wouldn't have enough horses and if they did it would cost a fortune. I found a tire swing shaped as a horse at ACE hardware and we will use it on the swing set. I'll have goody bags with plush horses for each kid with gummy carrots and mints as horse treats. I plan on having galvenized buckets instead of coolers and place baby carrots and apples on the table with tags saying HORSE FOOD. I'm still working on more ideas... I know I'm obsessed.

My birthday is June 12. I am getting a horse shoe cake tin and making her cake. I found the tin online. For food I would do a BBQ so to speak. hot dogs, corn on the cob and fruit kabas. Simple and the kids will love it. I am getting bean bag horses putting them in a bandanna with a couple other goodies for treat bags. The nice thing about our party is my sister has horses and will bring one over. Good luck. Email me if you have or need any ideas. w1hutsen2 AT hotmail.com Report Spam or Abuse RE: Horse Themed Birthday Party Post By Tracie (Guest Post) (04/21/2008) I'm doing a horse themed party for my daughters 6th birthday. I got all the paper goods, pinata and favor boxes from Birthday Express (look them up on the internet-they are great because you can return all the unused items). They have alot of great themes for everything you can imagine. Next I am trying to come up with some great games for them to play and Thank you to all the previous posts because I am getting some great ideas. We will do a horse race by drawing boxes on the lawn and rolling a dice to see who gets to move when and how far, a lasso contest by making them lasso a stump in our yard, and a scavenger hunt (the details I have not worked out yet) and now possibly the apple bobbing. And of course pony rides for all! If anyone has any other ideas, I'll be checking this site all the way up to her party on May 17th... YEE HAW!!!

You can also decorate the cake with plastic horses. Play games such as home made horse memory. Let the guests and the birthday girl play toy horses. make a horsey cake along with decorating it with horses, like horse shaped.

You see I have a horse but, I can't do a western theme because I ride english. I thought that I could take my friends to the horse show I'm in the week after my birthday but, that would be boring for them. I was thinking I could borrow other horses from my barn (I've already asked, and they said yes) and go on a long trail ride. So my horse would be involved! Try finding a barn in your area that offers trail rides or parties. I work at my barn and they do birthday parties, and pony rides (not at your house, I lead the horses.) Check out www.maplewoodfarm.us Poc is my horse Copper, you might get him for the ride he's a sweetie!

(Guest Post) (06/11/2007) My daughter is having a horse theme birthday party on the 17th of June, she is mad about horses at the moment (she will be 4) She wanted, and so we are having, pin the tail on the horse with prizes of little horse toys for the children who get the closest, a horse pinata. We have organised for pony rides for an hour at the end of the party. I made her invites with pink and aqua colours on brown card and used a horse shape punch so these are the theme colours. I also bought horse lolly bags a banner and serviettes off the net and have balloon streamers, plates etc in the colours mentioned. We are having a horse head cake the idea is from familyfun.com website. Lolly bags have horse stickers, little plastic horse figurines and of course lollies in them. I have also photo copied pictures of horses for the children to colour and will provide horse stickers with this also. Hopefully the day will be a great success!

For her cake, I am making a 9 x 13 inch cake and icing it green. I bought some little horse figures and will put them on and make it a pasture. I also found some flower-shaped sprinkles to add as well.

Try to pop others balloons by stomping on them. Last one with a fly wins Hold a horse show - Each kid pretends to be a horse. Use dressage terms like - Enter at A, Trot at C, Circle at H, etc. Make horseshow ribbons from small paper plate and construction paper. Merry Go Round - Play like musical chairs. Each time a child gets out, they go pick their goodie bag to go home with. HAVE FUN!!!

The boys got cowboy hats and sheriff badges from the dollar store with bandanas. For the girls, I made them horse head bands: cut out ears from felt and glue them to a headband, then cut brown string and use them like bangs in front of the ears, then we cut long strands of string, hooked a lot together and these tied around the waist as tails. They LOVED these. She had a horse cake that a friend made for us. For games, we took stick horses and had races, etc. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Horse Themed Birthday Party Post By Erin (Guest Post) (01/27/2007) Its my sisters 10th birthday and she loves horses!!! i can't find any good horse recipes so i guess we'll just have to ice a cake green and pput horses on it thanks for the ideas really helped me Report Spam or Abuse RE: Horse Themed Birthday Party Post By Katie (Guest Post) (01/12/2007) Ok, I have something you could feed the children. Alot of times ranch people who have horses will eat mashed potatoes and chopped up hamburger mixed up with baked beans.

I decorated with horses printed off the Internet. I taped them on a white table cloth and taped pictures to balloons and hung them up everywhere. Also red bandanas make great favors/gifts. I bought plates from $1.00 Store that said "Happy Birthday Pardner" on them. I made a square cake and decorated with with plastic fencing and plastic horses. You can make a water hole with blue frosting and crush oreo cookies up for the dirt and green frosting for grass. For a meal, it was the old Fireside Sloppy Joes, Kickin' Coleslaw and Spur Tater Tots. The drink of course was Sasparilla (soda). Hope this helps ya!

First we went to my local riding stable and went for a trail ride. We all had lots of fun, even the ones who don't ride. When we got home we had fun doing horsey scavenger hunts and playing other horsey games. One game was called Complete The Jump Course. In this game we set out a seriese of jumps. The jumps were made from chares, wheelbarows, and anything else we could find. We all took turns doing the course. It was great fun! We listend to horsey music, ate a horse head shaped cake , and told horse stories. The party was a great succes and everyone had LOTS of fun!!!

We did a horsey theme last year for her 4th birthday and she wants another horse party this year. When the kids were arriving I set each up at a table to decorate a wooden horseshoe with jewels, stickers etc. We then went outside and did a scavenger hunt for plastic horses which I had hidden around the yard. I told them my horses had gotten loose and I needed help coralling them and asked them for their help. They scurried around with paper bags collecting them - they took home what they found. We then divided into two teams the mustangs and ??? (can't remember the other name at the moment) and did barrel races on stick horses around upside down buckets on the lawn. We also did a sugar cube on a spoon relay race as we all know horses like sugar cubes:-) We did pin the tail on the appaloosa. Served trail mix and apples. Then finished with a horseshoe shaped cake. It was fun and the kids loved it even though at 4 it was a bit tough to get all the races. I would imagine age 7 would get it a lot more easily. Oh I also went to a farm and feed store and got pony horseshoes for each child to take home. Now I just have to think about what to do for this year. Hope this helps.

I thought of the idea of sticking a wooden stick in the ground and putting a cow face on it and you can cow herd. Also you could have a best out-fit contest, relay race, a horse factor contest(fear factor idea). You could also have a horse trivia game and square dance.

I set up 3 chairs, gave them a big stuffed bunny to "ride" (as I didn't have a stick-pony and they didn't care). Then we showed them the pattern and timed them. The one who didn't knock over the chairs with the fastest time won. I gave as a party favor a little booklet we had made all about horses (different breeds, etc). Since it was older kids they had a lot of fun Report Spam or Abuse RE: Horse Themed Birthday Party Post By CHRISSY-NOR*CAL (Guest Post) (12/27/2005) I did a western/horse theme party for my daughter's 1st birthday. I made western vests out of brown paper grocery bags. I bought silly-string at the dollar store, and one of our games was a "SILLY STRING SHOOT-OUT". That was the most unique idea I could come with...other than your basic horseshoes & pin the tail, etc... Her cake was made out of horse-shoe shaped cake pans. We asked all the family and friends to come in their western attire. It was a BLAST!!!

We are going to have horse coloring pages to start (from the internet-printed on cardstock with extras as favors), have a cowgirl relay (they help teamates change into hat, vest, boots & horse), musical chairs with western music, and pin-the-tail on the horse.

Be sure to have the kids dress up in western clothes.

Fairy cakes could be jazzed up with coloured icing and a horseshoe shape put on - wouldn't require hardly any skill or time.
