Additional charge of $25 per type selected (requires 2 weeks advance notice of items requested) PLEASE NOTE: These items remain the property of The Rocking Horse Remuda and are not available for purchase at this time.

All fees and rates will be discussed and agreed upon over the telephone or in person and then confirmed in writing prior to the day of the event. Again we do not provide any food due to Georgia's Food Handling Requirements.

The Rocking Horse Remuda Pony Rides are fully insured against liability through the ____, with our agent, ___., located in ___. A Letter of confirmation can be provided with a minimum of 14 days notice should you need it.

We maintain all of the health of our ponies above the minimum standards required by the State of Georgia. All of our ponies receive the few immunizations required by Georgia State Law plus a number recommended but not required. A Veterinarian Certificate of Inspection can be provided if required with 14 days notice. We are licensed through the State of Georgia. All of our ponies have a “Negative Coggins test” from the State of Georgia.

Our rules are extremely simple and are for the safety and well being of our participants as well as our ponies. No Child, under the age of 4, will be allowed to ride the ponies unless they are held in the saddle by a parent and NO child weighing more than 100 pounds will be allowed to ride the ponies. Our Pony rides are geared towards children in the age ranges of 2 thru 11.

We will supply all of our required equipment and supplies and we are fully self- contained. We will gladly set up and lead the ponies around wherever you want us to. The only restriction we have is that the area MUST be located on a soft surface (dirt or grass) as walking the ponies on pavement (concrete, asphalt or stone) may injure them. A Shady area is preferred during the hot summer months.

We keep the Pony Area clean of droppings at ALL times. The area will be cleaned, raked, and all droppings will be removed before we leave. Usually, by the end of a party, there is a circle where the ponies have been walking. After we clean the area and “back rake” the circle and grass, the circle is usually gone within a week or two.

In closing, our primary goal is providing as many children as possible the opportunity to experience the fact that “Ponies are Fun“. I hope that this letter has answered the majority of any questions that you might have. Please contact us as far in advance as possible to confirm dates or request additional information.

No Laughing Please... Its still in the works

NOTICE TO SCUMBEEZLES
(you know who you are... you scream "Foul!" when the truth comes out)
        PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT.  It has been done before, but never successfully.  In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
        If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace.
        NEWS FLASH:  I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday.  I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish.  I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?).  I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" 
        Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.

        Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so.  We are not responsible or liable for any claim arising from the content of any such discussions or postings or for any error, defamation, libel, slander, omission, falsehood, obscenity, pornography, profanity, danger, or inaccuracy contained in any information contained within such locations on the Site.
        You are prohibited from posting or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane materials or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law.  You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual.  We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.
        By posting messages and/or content on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, you give permission for Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications to display, distribute and use the posting and content for publication, advertising, promotion, excerption or example. You grant Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications complete, perpetual, but non-exclusive rights to use, archive, reproduce, adapt, modify, distribute, sub-license, repurpose, rework, compile, or offer for sale or resale the messages, postings or content appearing on this site in whole or in part, throughout the world and universe, on a royalty-free basis without remuneration.  If you cannot accept or agree with the terms of service for this website and discussion board, you are advised not to post on this board.
        In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact.
        And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!).
