Hello everyone, I hope your all having a great day so far!

The past few days I've been thinking on how to revamp our insagram page as it was looking a little bare.

So over the past few days we came up with an idea, got all photographs ready and all information ready to post.

Now our instagram account is dedicated to all the animals we've cared for, so please have a look at our new Instagram account, pop us a follow and keep an eye out for a new post every Monday and Friday at 6pm, you never know you may see a familiar face😊

Good evening, we were back in west wales again for a few days last week. unfortunately one of the horses was at the starts of a laminitis flair up but we made sure to give him a lot of extra bedding and make sure his pain was well managed. And by the next day you could see he was already more back to his old self.

If you would like to have your pets/farm or smallholding/home cared for then please feel free to message with any enquiries or questions about our farm sitting service 😁😁

Afternoon everyone,

As well as going away farm sitting, we also like to help out local people when we're back at homebase. This year we helped out at Petlake Alpacas of the New Forest and Faraway Alpacas with shearing assistance, luckily we had good weather on both days 😁😁

If you ever need any assistance with your animals or could use some time away then please send me a message either on facebook messenger or WhatsApp 😊

I know this may not be a big deal, but I have wanted my own alpaca fibre colour chart for so many years. Now I finally have one!!!!

So if any of our clients would ever like us to bring it along to assess which colour your alpacas may be classed as then please let us know and if you have any other questions about our other service please feel free to message 😊
