An Equine Treatment Plan

Ruby's foal has been discharged from Rainbow Equine - but even though she's home, she's still on a lot of medication.

We've got a whole timetable that we need to give to her to make sure she stays on road to recovery.

The Armadillos!

Farmer Georgie is in our armadillo enclosure where Nessa and Tank's babies are growing really fast.

Shakira Shakira!

As the snow fell, our alpaca Shakira gave birth - but it hasn't all been plain sailing.

Shakira was livid when we tried to help her though (we can't blame her, she's feeling under the weather)- she's definitely got those spits ready quite a few times...

Preparing for the worst!

The weather has turned and it has forecast snow - so what do farmers need to do to prepare for the worst?

Join Farmer Ruth in the roundhouse as we get as ready as we can do and prepare for Easter lambing.

The hospital wing – Cannon Hall Farm

We've got a little gang of vulnerable animals who we are caring for in our 'hospital wing.' Our aim is to make these pen pals encourage each other to recovery - and, of course, Farmer Kate is there to care for them too.

Training Herkules!

It's a big moment for Shire foal Herkules as he joins his owner Phil for a bit of training in the farmyard.

There's absolutely no questioning Phil's expertise in this arena - so here's a sneak peek of that happening.

Farmer Kate’s new pals

Every season there are always some lovely new arrivals who notch a little special place in our hearts...and here is Farmer Kate with some of her favourites that she's caring for in our 'creche.'

The 3am Club

It's 3am and Farmer Dave has delivered twins...and they are absolute whoppers.

Watch what happens in the minutes after birth as he helps a very attentive mum tend to her babies.

Want to bottle feed our lambs?

Every season we have a core group of lambs and kids who need a little help and require bottle-feeding. In 2023, for the first time ever, we are inviting small numbers of our visitors to help us do this. Book your VIP slot online on our website (you can also buy passes as gifts).

A Lambing intervention with Farmer Dave

At this time of year, we have a night shift of farmers covering our roundhouse, making sure to offer any extra help to those that need on.

On his night shift, Farmer Dave had to intervene for a very tricky lambing...this is where the experience comes in handy.

The baby armadillos!

There's some exciting new arrivals in our small mammal house - have you ever seen a baby hairy armadillo before? You have now!

It’s Kidding Time!

We are through the bulk of lambing for February so it is time to turn our attention over to our pygmy goats who are due to start kidding next.

Farmer Darrell thinks the newborns are the cutest ones we have on the farm - what do you reckon?
