Miniature Horses

Find me in the Animal Barn

Meet June, Georgina & Spiderman

Our three miniature horses; June, Georgina, and Spiderman, are a tight-knit trio who arrived at Attwell Farm Park in 2018, having lived together long before joining us.

June (born June 2017) is the eldest, with a striking black and white piebald coat and a calm, gentle nature. She adores being brushed and is happiest when getting plenty of attention from staff and visitors.

Georgina (born April 2016) is our cheeky skewbald with a playful streak. She’s always first to explore something new and loves being the centre of attention.

Spiderman (born September 2013) is the youngest and smallest of the group, a proud little stallion with a thick, flowing mane often plaited to keep it neat. He may be outnumbered by the girls, but he doesn’t seem to mind!

In winter, the trio stay warm in the Animal Barn with access to a woodchip turnout area to stretch their legs safely. During summer, they spend time in the paddocks, where we carefully manage their grazing to protect them from laminitis, a condition linked to high-sugar grass.

Their friendly personalities, close bond, and expressive faces make them a real highlight for families visiting the farm.

🐎 Not Ponies! – Miniature horses are true horses, just in a much smaller package — they have finer features and proportional builds. 📏 Measured in Inches – While regular horses are measured in hands, miniature horses are measured in inches due to their petite size. 💨 Big Energy, Small Size – They’re bursting with personality and love human interaction, often showing off for attention. 🦴 Delicate Build – Though small, they have the same graceful proportions as full-sized horses, not the stocky frame of ponies. 💚 Strong Bonds – Miniature horses are affectionate and thrive on companionship — both with each other and with their human caretakers.
