My Mini Pony Encounter

Giddy up and glam up! Step into a fairytale as you pamper Opal, Nemacolin’s charming miniature horse, with ribbons, bows, and colorful brushes. Then, continue the fun with a guided painting experience with Opal or one of our beautiful full-size horses as your artistic inspiration.

Guests will get up close with Nemacolin’s horses to help create a one-of-a-kind piece of art inspired by the spirited symbolism of horses throughout art history—yours to take home. A Nemacolin family favorite, this experience also includes gentle horse or pony rides for little ones, all under the close supervision of our trained associates.
