Meet Our Three Delightful Miniature Horses at the Farm

We have three miniature horses here at the farm park: June, Georgina, and Spiderman! These inseparable friends have always lived together, even before arriving at the farm in 2018. They bring so much joy to our visitors with their playful personalities and affectionate nature.

Where Can You See Them? 🏡

🔎 Animal Barn & Woodchip Turnout – In the winter months, the miniature horses are stabled in our cozy winter barn. They also have access to a special woodchip turnout area, which keeps them safe from muddy fields and allows them to stay active. In the summer, we carefully monitor their grazing to prevent weight gain, as they can be prone to laminitis, a condition caused by a high-sugar diet.

🐴 June

Born in June 2017, June is the oldest of the trio. She has a striking black and white piebald coat and a gentle, friendly nature. June loves attention, especially when our staff give her a good brush! She’s always happy to be stroked, making her a favourite among visitors.
