The People Behind the Herd

Born from the heart of two local ranches, Paso Robles Pastures and 198 Ranch Highlands, we’ve combined our herds (and hearts) to bring you a one-of-a-kind mobile petting zoo and pony party experience. From birthday parties and weddings to community events, winery gatherings, and celebrations of all kinds, we bring the barnyard fun straight to you anywhere in San Luis Obispo County, or you can host your event at one of our beautiful venues.

With years and years of ranching and cowboying in our blood, we share a deep bond with our animals, treating them like part of the family. Trust us, Travis feeding his baby cows tortillas out of his mouth is just another Tuesday, and Vanessa’s practically a horse midwife at this point! Koa can wrangle a bull before breakfast, and Hilda makes sure every event looks picture-perfect and party-ready. None of this would be possible without our incredible team of skilled animal handlers working alongside us caring for the herd every day. Their experience, patience, and love for what they do help make each event safe and fun.

Whether you’re looking for a touch of rustic charm or a full-blown barnyard bash, we promise laughter, connection, and unforgettable memories for all ages.

From our ranch to your celebration, we can’t wait to party with you!

Vanessa, Travis, Koa, & Hilda
