We are proud to introduce you to our herd!
" LANCE " His official name is Sir Lancelot, but his friends call him Lance. He can be a bit of a rascal sometimes. Lance has something like ADHD. He likes to move, doesn't like to stand still. He has a lot of energy and likes to keep busy, including playing with zippers and hats - even when you are wearing them!! He has a wonderful sense of humour and loves to make you laugh. Once you find his sweet spot in his mane,he will stand forever to be groomed there. He LOVES to have his hair (mane) combed. Lance is a Standardbred horse, who retired from a racing career at a young age. He's 23 now and has been with us for 16 years. We hope he has many great years ahead of him. He is used to being a star and likes the fuss of photographers and action! |

"NORMY"
Normy is his nick name. His full name is Normund, which means "Protector of the North" in his native language, Norwegian. Normy is a Norwegian Fjord horse who turned 15 years old this year and is enjoying his new career as a helper horse. We are very happy with how he's learning what he needs, to help children. He is always ready for a hug, or a good scratching and a treat of some kind. He's kind, accepting and very calm (and a little bit cheeky).
"BIBIT" He lights up the whole farm !! He is a darling miniature horse who was born with some special needs. He is a dwarf, and has some weaknesses, like a short, crooked spine and a deformed hoof. He is only 24 inches high. Our wonderful farrier, Sarah, helps him move around more easily with specially trimmed hooves. Bibit loves to travel in the minivan, to see kids at school, and to visit people in senior care homes. He does not realize how small he is. He is 15 years old now and has been with us since he was 5 months old.
We are so happy to introduce you to Tinkerbell!
Tink is even smaller than Bibit. She too has dwarfism and because of this, has crooked legs and other health issues. But she is now 6 years old and doing really well, making friends with everybody she meets; humans, dogs, cats and other horses. Our gentle and kind farrier, Sarah, is giving her special hoof trims every 3 weeks to help her. It's working!
