Lovely gifts from lovely guests ❤️

Two of our lovely ponies, Oreo and Frankie. World Horse Welfare Glenda Spooner Farm is a highly recommended day out for our guests. There is a lovey walk where you can see their rescue ponies, a cafe that serves delicious cake plus doggies are welcome too!

Another rehomer update!

Oreo was rehomed in Autumn 2022 to join World Horse Welfare Frankie, another of our ponies. As you can see they are the best of friends. His rehomer said:
"Just wanted to say thank you for choosing me to have the boys and for all your advice when I first got them. We love them so much! It's nice to see them so happy and settled together and Oreo and Frankie groom each other all the time!! Thanks again. I feel really lucky to have been able to have 2 such lovely boys 🐴💕"

More residents of the field behind Barnyard - the ewes 🐑 living the sheep dream of retirement here. Before the barn was converted the sheep were gathered in each year and held ready for shearing in what is now Barnyard’s kitchen

One of the resident’s in the field behind Barnyard. When we developed Barnyard we unfortunately disturbed a nest so mum and babies were rushed to Secret World Wildlife Rescue and then returned to us once the babies were big enough to be released. We built them their own houses ready for their return 🦔❤️
