Rescue Alpaca called Al

We do what we can to rescue animals which not only gives the animals a forever home but gives our students new skills in looking after different animals. Learning about the animals feeding, temperament, behaviour and care. Our latest is a male Alpaca originally called Alice but now called Al. He was lacking company and due to his age 14 needed more time inside especially for the winter. He is well behaved and used to a halter. If you want to sponsor any of our animals or sponsor them please get in touch.

Wessex equine vet, with Caroline & George

It was a big day for George our donkey foal who has grown up so quick, born on 17th February which was special day as it was my mum’s birthday. George is 8 months old so time for an operation. Our local equine vet, Wessex equine vet did a great job supported by Caroline. A couple hours later he was up on his feet looking for treats. To hear more about his gelding operation please become a patreon and see & hear all the behind the scenes content from Chatty farmer chris.

As it is Chris’s birthday on 13th we did a fundraiser to help with vet bills and of course George’s operation.

Its now feeling very autumnal with shorter days and colder night. On a plus side you can get some amazing sunrise and it a pleasure to see the sunrise in the company of our baby donkeys George, Nelly and our artist Caroline. More updates soon.
