GIDDY UP PONIES started as a desire to share our love of everything equine with children.
We started with a pony ride business where we were established at El Gran Mercado in Phoenix each weekend for nearly two years. We also took our ponies to many parties and events throughout the valley.
Once Lisa became an ARIA certified riding instructor in 2006, we redirected our focus to children' s riding lessons and sales.
We offer private English & Western lessons at our 2.5 acre property in north Scottsdale and at any given time have several wonderful, quality ponies for sale.
Our ponies and horses are like family to us and we enjoy sharing the pleasure they give us with others.
While the business was Lisa's idea, it is only with the unwavering support of her husband, Denny, that it is a reality.
While Denny has a "real" full-time job during the week (in the car business), on nights and weekends he is always happy to help feed, clean stalls, and make repairs.
While Lisa has owned, raised, trained, ridden, and shown horses of various breeds for over 30 years, Denny was introduced to the "horsey scene" shortly after meeting Lisa. In fact their first date was going to the world famous Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show. After 12 years of marriage and many horses and ponies later, they are still quite a team.
When time allows, Lisa enjoys showing her ponies in harness.
By making a business of bringing ponies and children together, we get to see lots of smiles! After all...
