Big Red

NAME: Big Red
D.O.B: 25/5/2009

Big Red is a gentle giant – she loves her food and does not do sharing! Her favourite day would be a lovely brush, followed by a day in the field eating lots of grass and then tea (with extra carrots) and a hay net. Her grandsire was the famous Clover Hill!

Ducks at Millbrook Horizons

Ducks

Hello! We are Gemima and Gerrald. We are Beckland Horizons resident ducks. We live here on the pond and regularly waddle round to the stable yard to say hello to the horses and pinch a few tid bits off the floor.

Pigs

Hello, we are Crackle and Pop. Two very happy pot belly pigs who enjoy a good scratch and a fuss every now and then. We also enjoy rolling round in the mud and being sprayed with water on a nice hot day.

Goats at Millbrook Horizons

Goats

Hello, Bill and Ben here! Two very mischievous and playful goats. Ben, the smaller one, enjoys the odd athletic exercise, jumping through the fences and joining all the other animals in the paddocks. He’s a very sociable goat who refuses to stay in his own pen! Bill, is quite happy eating all Bens food, especially when Ben cant find his way back in!

Guinea Pigs

Say Hello to Rosie and Biscuit. Rosie is a very timid and shy little guinea pig, we hope to win her round with some regular handling and TLC. Buscuit, on the other hand. A very sassy little chap. Gives you a good work out in catching him, but once you outsmart him, he can give you a good cuddle, nestling his head in your jumper.

Rosie is our latest addition to the collection. We have introduced her to Biscuit recently and we hope they make the best of friends. Maybe some little babies… who knows!

Rabbit

Shiro the white! A lovely young lady, very happy to have a cuddle or rest on your knee. She enjoys a few treats now and then especially the odd bunch of herbs and a strawberry here and there! Especially at Halloween! Beware of the Ware Rabbit!

Chickens

Enjoy working with this bunch! Chickens with big personalities. Smokey, Snowball, PomPom, chicken little and Henifer Lopez! They all like a good cuddle and are eggcelent at making a clucking racket on a nice sunny day!

Turtle

Terrence the “Stinkpot” Musk Turtle. A shy little guy, enjoys his down time on his own hiding in his little submarine in his tank. You don’t see him very much, but can sure peep on you!

Sheep

Three adorable not so little any more lambs. Full of character. Daisy, Blossom and Roger. They aren’t a baaaaad bunch! They enjoy a bottle of milk twice a day and a good scratch behind the ears.
