Our local Miss Pig after a cooling mud bath - she actually attended the local school fete on this day - without an invite!

If you start your visit here it should be a truly unique experience for you..and I'll really enjoy sharing my fantastic environment with you.

How lovely! - This beautiful foal was fast asleep in the sunny heather - how comfortable can you be??....some of these wonderful sights are right outside my door!
