Terms and Conditions

SHADE

Petting zoo animals NEED shade if the temperature is above 80 F. Shade from the side of a building, overhang, tent, umbrella or tree are acceptable. Each animal needs an area about 5'x5'. So 2-3 pop up tents or a tree work well for most packages. If the temperature is below 80F, they are fine in the sun.

I agree to provide shade for the animals if the temperature is above 80 F

I am NOT able to provide shade and need Cowboy Critters to bring tents if necessary ($100 extra)

PARKING

If you have just pony rides, we can park further away and walk the ponies. If you have any petting zoo package, we need nearby parking. If you cannot provide nearby parking that is on a hard surface (gravel asphalt etc. We do not drive on grass) then please understand that set up may take longer than normal (15 min) and you may need to book an earlier time to achieve your ideal start time.

I understand that I need to provide parking near the set-up area

I CANNOT provide nearby parking. I understand that there could be early arrival fee, or my event may be set up slightly later than the selected start time. Cowboy Critters will reach out to discuss specifics when the booking is received.

SAFETY

If the animals are being frightened, mishandled, abused or harassed, Cowboy Critters staff will issue warnings. If the behavior is not corrected immediately, we reserve the right to take the animal(s) to safety and leave without refund. Any individual who is acting in a manner unsafe to themselves or others (i.e. taunting an animal to kick or bite, fighting or roughhousing near animals) will be asked to leave the animal area.

I agree that my guests and I will behave in an appropriate manner towards the animals.

DEPOSIT

The $100 deposit is non-refundable. We offer a free re-schedule for any reason as long as you give us 12hrs heads up. You do not have to pick a new date right away. Just let us know that you need to put your event on hold. You can then reach back out later when you're ready to get back on the schedule (even a year later), and we'll fit you in if the spot is still available.

I understand that the $100 deposit charged today is non-refundable

FINAL PAYMENT

Balance is due upon ARRIVAL to your event. If your event is shortened for any reason (weather, things winding down, etc) the time already completed is due (1hr minimum), but the remaining time will not be charged. We have several options for final payment:

Cash, Venmo @CowboyCritters, or Cash App $CowboyCritters

Credit Card on file 3% fee (card is charged morning of event so you don't have to think about payment)

Organization/School/Business Check/ACH this option is ONLY available to previous approved customers. We DO NOT accept personal checks.
