Meet Holly, Buddy & Willow – Our Magical Reindeer! 🦌✨
At Attwell Farm Park, we're lucky to have three beautiful reindeer who bring plenty of magic to the farm. Buddy and Holly joined us in October 2022, and in 2023, we were delighted to welcome Willow, Buddy and Holly's young calf! Our reindeer are a true seasonal favourite, especially during the winter months, when they add extra cheer to our festive events.
🦌 Buddy (Male) – A big softie who loves a good scratch and is always the first to come over for attention!
🦌 Holly & Willow (Females) – A little more reserved and shy, but just as sweet once they feel comfortable!
They spend their time in their comfortable stable or woodchip turnout area, where they love to roam and relax.
🦌 Antler Shedding! – Both males and females grow antlers, covered in soft velvet in the spring. As they mature, the velvet sheds, revealing hard antlers that they use during mating season.
🦌 Cold-Weather Experts! – Reindeer are built for the cold with thick fur and special hooves that help them walk on snow and ice with ease. Their fur even changes colour with the seasons!
🦌 Magical Visitors! – Reindeer are famous for their connection to Christmas, bringing a little holiday magic all year round at the farm!
🦌 Social Animals! – Reindeer love company and form strong bonds. Buddy, Holly, and Willow stick together as a family and communicate through sounds and body language.
