(20)

See below for ways you can help our current rescues! Little Bo Peep's Mobile Unit provides a wide range of friendly, relaxed Barnyard Animals as well as Pony Rides for all kinds of Events and Functions Auckland wide. Our emphasis is on animal welfare. We aim to foster virtues such as compassion and empathy through the interactions experienced during our visits. A very large percentage of our anima

ls are rescues and so given that they have needed intense care during their rehabilitation, they naturally feel at ease around people and enjoy human company

Our Mobile Farm speciality is Educational Visits for Primary schools, Early Childhood Centres and groups, Special Needs Programmes and Retirement Villages
We also attend events big and small with carefully planned setup to ensure that the animals enjoy their visit just as much as people enjoy meeting them

Available for Film Work. The animals are totally relaxed in a wide range of environments and have even travelled in lifts to radio studios! For film work specific animals can be taken to set locations and there is the option to use the farm for filming too.

School holiday fun in July

This is the little guy that Miller's named after his favourite All Black Beauden Barrett . He's always keen for some training and loves his milk and feed. 🏉 🏈 🏃‍♂️ 💪 🐐

Who's met our gorgeous kid, Beauden Barrett, so far? Miller met the "real deal" tonight. What a nice guy

3 healthy babies delivered with some assistance today after a couple of vet visits the past couple of days. A happy little family 🐑

A different setup for today's ECE visit so that we could be inclusive of the Special Needs students at the booking before them. So many happy faces, animal and child 💓 Thank you for having us Thriving Kids

13/08/2024

Some places are exceptionally pleasant to visit. This morning's session with the Special Needs based program from Mt Richmond school was one of those.
Such lovely, caring and engaged students and staff. The animals were all able to thoroughly enjoy meeting them without Farmer Fleur needing to step in to redirect anyone so much as once! Credit to these wonderful teachers and caregivers

Thanks for having us and making the gorgeous video Marshwood Montessori

Bert has his rather cute friend, Barrett, along with him for today's visit 🐐 🐎

These awesome kids learnt about "Ruminent" animals and how they're different to the other regular (monogastric) animals. I love how Centre Manager, Irene, focussed on the most important concepts we encourage though which are empathy and compassion

We're having a lovely day with just one disappointed young girl who wants to know, "Where is the moon and the cow?" 🤔 I must get some Nursery Rhyme decals 🤩😅

24/07/2024

It was a busy busy day today, particularly at my afternoon session where there were LOTS of children as well as their families who came along to meet the animals.
It was great to see so many children step outside of their comfort zone to ride the ponies, even if it took them 2-3 attempts to finally build up the courage. And again fantastic that the typical Auckland changeable weather did not faze anyone.
And wasn't I spoiled with such a lovely surprise at the end! Thanks Adventureland Ellerslie 😊

22/07/2024

Another lovely morning adventure. Love how this centre (like most) didn't bat an eye at the weather. It's dry inside the truck anyway, which I park nice and close to entrance way

17/07/2024

School holiday programmes are in full swing this week. Even yesterday when the weather was not so great there was not a single complaint and lots of fun was had 🤩

16/07/2024

How neat for these young kiddies to be learning so many physical skills over the holidays 🤩

11/07/2024

If you're an ECE centre then I suggest you check your emails for an EXTRA EXTRA special offer for a visit from our friendly crew. If you haven't received an email or you're not an ECE centre then I suggest you get in contact with me over the next 24 hours to receive your own EXTRA EXTRA special offer! I can guarantee you'll be EXTRA EXTRA surprised by the extremely generous and affordable rates I'm offering for selected dates between July - November 2024. Be quick! Only available due to the current slump we are having with lots of centres on holiday whilst the animals' expenses continue 24/7 365 days a year 😎👩‍🌾

06/07/2024

What a lovely day we had celebrating the end of Term 2. Thanks for having us, Gardner Road Kindergarten!
Please get in touch to book your center for Terms 3 and 4. I have some spaces remaining at ridiculous prices as low as $299 to cater for up to 50 children!! Farmer Fleur 👩‍🌾 🐖 🐎 🐐 🐑 🐀 🐇 🐔

If you'd seen Pinky a week earlier you'd never believe she was the same cool, calm pro actor as this pig in this scene! She built a very trusting relationship with me over the short time we had to train for this part. Paul then did a great job with her too, see him scratching her side in a reassuring way as he says his lines. Hopefully she gets some more roles to play in the future. She's obviously born to be a star 🌟 🤩 🐷🐖🐽😍🎥 credit South Pacific Pictures

02/07/2024

A lovely day in Warkworth on Monday 😍. I still have a few spaces, particularly afternoons, for Term 3 at VERY VERY economical rates if you'd like to book a visit to your center!

02/07/2024

Pinky's first scene. May look straight forward but less than a week earlier she was completely unhandled and would have found this extremely stressful. She took to people and the film set like a duck to water, casually sleeping on the job at times 😍🐖🐷🐽 🌟 🎥 video credit South Pacific Pictures

If you watch Shortland Street you might spot someone you know tonight 🐖 🐷 🐽

We have attended Claudia's birthday party the past 3 years and today was our 4th time being invited. It was a whole family mission, but we managed to get the inside of the Old MacDonalds Gala unit finished by this morning so that we could ensure that Claudia and her friends were able to meet the animals in the same way we usually operate here with the purple float 💜 💪 👷‍♀️ 🦄 🐇 🐖 🐔 🐐 🐑

06/06/2024

Updated the names of the animals in the truck today. Spot Pinky Pig the TV star acing her first ECE visits 🐖 🏫 💗🤩

04/06/2024

I REALLY love all of the ECE visits I'm doing at the moment. I have a little routine going where I set up then go inside the center to do an introduction and safety briefing with each room before they come out to visit the animals in small groups.
It works so nicely and means the children (and teachers) get to learn about the various animals in a non hurried and positive way.
It's so inspiring and rewarding to be welcomed into so many different centers in so many different places. And lovely little gestures like this cute thank you card today are truly appreciated

02/06/2024

Outdoor unit has new commercial rated axles and tires. New floor and kick boards going in. Double horse float getting new tires and spruce up too. And we are back on the road! I so nearly sold these trailers when covid was crippling us. Glad I didn't. Old MacDonalds Farm has saved the day for Little Bo Peeps and shaping our way forward 😍
Suppose there's a reason Old MacDonalds has been around over 40 years and counting. It's hardy and adaptable

31/05/2024

This cleanup crew never complain after storms like we had this week bring the Willow branches down!

31/05/2024

Back at it with a kindy visit today. What a great feeling 💗🥳

29/05/2024

Thank you for the support. I truly appreciate it. Please note that our Old MacDonalds Farm Truck is still fully functioning. And just received a brand spanking new COF yesterday to keep us ticking over
We are now going to work on the Old MacDonalds Farm outdoor units, that have been kept on hold since Lockdown, to ensure we can bring the same service to you as per the Little Bo Peeps unit by this weekend. Watch this space!
Again thank you so much to everyone who has been so understanding and supportive.
And to the one and only "Karen" give it a rest

I wasn't going to make this post but due to a disgruntled person feel the need. It will explain the situation if anyone sees the trailer on the way to horse float hospital over the coming days too.
On Sunday my absolute worst nightmare occurred with our Little Bo Peeps float and landcruiser becoming an injury and fatality to the state of Auckland roads. They also took with them the ute of a very lovely and understanding man who was coming in the other direction.
Through some absolute miracle and some very quick thinking/defensive driving on my part and that of the other driver, no animals or humans were killed or injured. The driver of the ute had substantial bruising from his air bags, I've got a sore neck/whip lash, Pip got a graze from the stallion guards that supported her and prevented her from going over the top of the barriers. (She was very well placed and the biggest animal on board, did not lose her footing and all other animals were perfectly fine)
I'd like to thank all of those who gave us words of support, offers of help, those who did help with getting Pip home, and those who's bookings were affected who were understanding and kind.
To the ECE centres I've needed to reschedule this week, you are ALL AMAZING and I cannot wait to meet you soon.
I'm now almost through all of the insurance side of things. I met with Geoff Upson at the crash site and learned a lot about the state of NZ, particularly Auckland, roads yesterday, which was real food for thought! And I've made a report to Auckland Transport, who are already aware of the risk of this patch of road anyway 🤔
To the individual person who is harassing me non stop, beginning while I was still at the crash scene organising for the animals to be safely taken home so that we could get the trailer off the road and make way for traffic to get through, grow some compassion and empathy. That's what this business is about. Sorry we missed your child's birthday party. We were busy trying to stay alive. I'll certainly get your refund to you because I don't think our service is suitable to be rescheduled for your purposes

Thank you for having us today Reach Forward Early Learning Centre Albany! You all did a fantastic job of looking after the animals. I look forward to meeting your Warkworth branch next week 😍

Now that the sun's out again, Pinky Pig is having her first day out in the orchard free ranging with Tiny, Oreo Donald Duck and his chicken friends

Launched our Seahorse at the Te Atatu Boat Ramp this afternoon 😀😍

Warm porridge for mum, Tiny, this morning. She's feeling much better 😌 💕

I caught these brand new babies taking their first wobbly steps this morning. Mum is a pet and called me to bring her breakfast over to where she was keeping them nice and dry 😍

Cookie and Cheese have mastered their branch 👏🐀🐁

A tour inside the truck where everybody is warm and dry on this soggy winter's day 💓🚚

And boy #3 of the fluffy friendly and outgoing bunch These are absolutely beautiful kittens Have had mum with them all along plus good vet care and nutrition Will be ready Friday Fleaded, wormed, vaccinated, microchipped and desexed

Smeag Jr deserves a special home. He cheated death and used 1 of his 9 lives in our quest to save him as he was found in a very poorly state He's so lovely and trusting due to the extra time we've spent with him Vaccinated, microchipped, fleaded, wormed and desexed Ready Friday

Extra cuddly fluffy boy ready Friday. Will be vaxxed, deflead, microchipped and desexxed this Wednesday Approx 8-9 weeks Be quick my kids want to keep him

Scrumptious Girl ready for a home in a few weeks. Tortie and fluffy

1st scrumptious black fluffy boy. Ready for a home Friday this week

If you listen with sound you'll hear how much fun my boys are having raising these little fluff balls. They're really invested in this cat project and it's making them more aware of other animals in need. This morning Toby rang me from his friend's mother's phone very concerned about an elderly dog wandering on the road that he had befriended and gotten out of harm's way. The first thing he did when he got home was to ask about her and he was happy to hear she'd been collected by her owner

Mini has been out in the house each night and takes herself back to her spot Who can blame her when it's so floofy and comfy

Hugo is very loud at the best of times. But he's figured out he can be even LOUDER indoors. So every time he sees a person he calls out a meal order. I'm waiting to hear the local fire brigade start the truck thinking the siren is 🚨 going off. (Hugo has hoof trouble over winter at the best of times and is really designed for desert type conditions so he's in out of the weather and keeping Maddy's main competition pony company)

She Hulk watching the dressage at badminton and now able to be picked up and carried around by the kids. She really wants to be a friendly girl, she just gets frightened easily. She is now desexed, wormed, fleaded, vaccinated, microchipped and litter trained if anyone wants to spend some time being patient with her now. She will repay you by being your best friend for life I'm sure. She's my good friend already but we do have a lot of cats of our own and some others from this rescue mission that are very aggressive/special needs so the more we can find homes for the better

3 days of handling and Albert is the most cuddly, loveable and playful little guy. He's being desexed Friday and available for adoption next week once he's recovered

My heart breaks for all of the cats and kittens who are not so lucky as these. These guys are from a stray who was surrendered to us. She is wary but so so very sweet. She must have been someone's pet originally. We are at the Auckland Pet Expo next week and these cuties may just come with us yet They will be raising awareness about the need to desex and we will also have direct contact information for many kittens and cats that are currently in need of good homes, including some that are in our care 10 and counting
