Going back through old photos and came across these ones of Spot and Elliot at the school pet day. He did so well and from memory the ribbons were for leading and calling.

So awesome, we have another baby lamb! Bonnie has had a little girl. We have named her Penny.

Very grateful that both of the lambs this year are ewes, the plan at this stage is to keep them and they will join the breeding flock 🔥🤗

Rescued this little guy from our cat Batman! I love having cats for keeping down the rodents but I do hate that our birds are sometimes caught in the cross hairs :(

We are very lucky to have rich birdlife in this area. Last year we had some bird watchers at the cottage and they mentioned that we have many different types of birds here.

😂 Goatie loves coming into the house section and devouring our trees .... especially our feijoa tree 🥹😅

Wouldn't be without him though, he is so adorable and a lovely pet!

Pictured here with Willow is one of our precious pony team members, Aura.

Aura is about 13, we have had her for about 7 years and she is a dream pony 😇 Nothing bothers her, she is so quiet, safe and reliable 🦄She is about 11.2hh, so a great size for my kids at the moment. Elliot can ride her off the lead too 🤗

Just a heads up we have increased the price for our Animal Experience Days.
We are taking a bit of a break during Term 3, as I am working 5 days most weeks, but keep an eye on the page as we will try to put out some weekend dates for August and September.

Come Term 4, we will be back running some Pony Play Group sessions, these will remain at $15 per session for regular bookers and $20 for one off Pony Play Group visits.

If you'd like to be put on a list and contacted via email once new dates are released, PM your email address through to us :)

At the end of our animal days we always make up feed for the ponies, this is always a very popular activity with the children! Thankfully the feeds need plenty of ingredients so there is something for everyone to help with. 😍

Always so stunning outside when there is fog as thick as this. Normally signals a sunny day is to come.

Pictured is the Cottage which we offer accommodation in, sleeps six. When you come to stay, you are welcome to explore the property and hang out with the animals.

Very patient little Jemima!

pages manager doesn't let me upload videos and photos at the same time but there was a very cute video of Jemima standing up while Willow was on her back… Willow didn't manage to stay on but wasn't too fussed, moments like these certainly help build resilience .

Check out the next post for the cute little video.
