She is litter trained and has been an indoor cat due to living in a flat. She has been raised with a dog and is happy with dogs and humans!

Caught in the act! Hagen’s had breakfast and wants out- now!! Apparently we’re not quick enough to turn him out this morning 😂 It just shows, at 33 year old they can still get up to as much mischief as a young horse 🙈 he might look skinnier than the rest of the horses but they’re all breeds of ‘heavy horse’ whereas Hagen’s a thoroughbred cross, and boy he’s got the attitude of one! You’ll see him taking himself to the field and in for his dinner each day, please don’t panic when there’s no human attached- it’s just he knows exactly where he’s going and who are we to argue with the old boy. Many have tried, many have failed, he’s definitely got his own mind! You might worry when you see him in the field- he has no muscle left on his back or bum, because he’s been retired for over 10 years. He has a heart murmur and mild arthritis so the decision was made many years ago to let him enjoy his golden years without having to work! Don’t let him fool you, he can go for a gallop with the rest when he chooses, although his favourite pass time is eating… grass, carrots, turnips or whatever he manages to steal when we’re not looking! After 20 years of showjumping, cross country and working in a riding school he’s definitely earned his rest and will continue to enjoy it for as long as he’s happy. Even when this means he finds the muckiest patches to roll in the day after a groom 🙈😂 he’s a happy, healthy and often mischievous old man and we’re happy to see this wicked streak still shine through! He’s on specialised mash feeds (like many old people lol!) and watch if you’re passing his stable while he’s eating, he likes to wipe his face down your clothes when you’re not looking. If anyone has any concerns please feel free to ask questions, I’ve had Hagen since he was 20 and I think I’ve seen it all with him. We’re always happy when anyone takes an interest in our animals, and will always answer any questions t

A wee throwback to spring last year- can’t wait for some of that sunny weather again!

For those that haven’t had a chance to meet our animals yet 😊

Well where to begin, what a whirlwind this year has been. We have overcome a fair few things this year but after being vandalised just before Xmas we were wondering if Erskine had simply out grown the farm. We were very worried about having to close our doors. But wow were we wrong, as always the Erskine community and beyond had other ideas and rallied around us. You all have raised an utterly astounding amount to help save the farm. What a phenomenal start to 2024 we are going to have and it is all down to the love and support shown to us 💕 thank you to those who shared, donated, commented or sent a message of support to put it simply you all saved Lamont Farm. We do not have the words to express our gratitude to each and everyone of you but please know we are so very grateful 🥹 we are looking forward to a much brighter 2024 Whatever your doing tonight stay safe stay warm and have fun 🤩 when the clock strikes midnight may you be surrounded by love and laughter From our farm family to yours happy new year 🥳

Well our animals definitely enjoyed a snowy weekend! A massive thanks to everyone who has donated to our winter appeal, we are truly grateful for every donation received! If anyone else would like to donate you can do so via PayPal or bank transfer, you can purchase raffle tickets for £1 a strip, but numbers in our 50/50 draw at £2 per number and of course we have Santa coming to visit next Saturday!

Lest we forget, the humans and the animals ❤️

A sunny day at the Farm

Good morning 😊 We still have several numbers for sale for our 200 club, only £2 per number per month and that chance to win £200 at the end of the month (if all payments have been made). To purchase a number or multiple numbers please pm, we will give you details on how to make the monthly payment via PayPal or standing order. Please note all payments should be received by 28th of the month to allow the draw to take place on the last day! Thank you

Two of our bunnies showing a wee bit of love, isn’t that cute! Stella and Eclipse decided to have a wee cuddle together 🥰 We still have tickets available for our Xmas raffle at only £1 per strip, if you’d like to buy any tickets then send us a wee PM and let us know how many and we can send you details on how to pay. We will even send a pic of your tickets so you have them virtually 😀

Well Oor Wee Timmy’s on the mend! The vet came out to see him on Monday and he has a wee abscess in his joint, however a few days of antibiotic injections and look at him go! He’s been chasing us round the yard this afternoon lol 😂

The winner of June’s 200 club draw is none other than the Farm’s very own Trisha Craig! Congratulations Trisha, hope you have something nice planned for it! A huge thank you to everyone who continues to take part in this, your ongoing support really does make a difference! Good luck to everyone for July’s draw, remember you can still join at any time up until 28th of the month!
