Larues Little Horse Ranch Pony Rides

Specialties

LaRue’s Little Horse Ranch is a family owned and operated Pony Ride and Petting Zoo business. We’ve been operating in and around the Omaha area for over 30 years. Touching little hearts… one pony ride at a time. Our goal is to share the wonder of God’s creation with the littlest of his people, and help them to learn to enjoy the special bond between humans and animals. We hope that those children who may never have had that chance, will now get to know these animals personally, and learn to love them.

History

Established in 1984.

Danny and Lois LaRue began operating their pony ride business in the Fremont Area in 1982. It started, all those years ago, with pony rides at their home, and occasionally the local Hinky Dinky grocery store, in Fremont, NE, during store promotions. Those first rides cost one dollar (50 cents if you got in on the store promotion), and were hand led rides, on a buckskin Quarter Horse mare named «Abby,» a bay POA pony mare called Cheyenne, and a little Shetland gelding by the name of «Halfpint». Eventually, LaRue’s built a pony carousel for four ponies and were invited to various promotions and events all over the area. Today LaRue’s Little Horse Ranch has 2 pony carousels, a small petting zoo and many pretty ponies.

The business began as a way for the family to spend time with each other and their horses, and to create a little extra income to provide for the animals. As the business grew they found themselves splitting up, and now spend that time with more family members and friends
