Our Animals Having spent many years previously running an animal shelter, we have a menagerie of pets and livestock. Some new friends and some old, who travelled with us when we moved here to beautiful West Wales. The Donkey's We have a small Donkey stud and all our donkey's are registered with the Donkey Breed Society. Such gentle creatures are loved for their docile nature and affection. We have one stallion "Oswald" or "Ozzie" as we call him, who should have an equity card since he has been on stage at the Sunderland Empire Theatre in "Carmen the Opera", he didn't sing, he was the orange sellers donkey, an he was a trouper. He has sired many coloured and a few plain foals, the latest being "Cyril", and he is a nice one!  "Oswald or Ozzie" The DADDY! Ozzie has 5 wives, namely Ada the large coloured mare, Mavis the oldest donkey we have at 11 years (they can live to 30 or more years) and Ozzie's first wife! Mavis is the calmest sweetest and best Mum we have. His latest wives are Daphne (grey mare with white markings on her back), Barbara the shortest of all the adult Donkeys and Gladys the tall thin brown donkey, she is the youngest at 7 years and sometimes that is clearly evident.  All our female donkeys usually have foals, we are expecting 4 more this year. Guests can visit the donkeys paddock during summer months and chat, pat or feed the donkey's, although we do ask that food is not hand fed (encourages nipping) but thrown into the paddock. Andy is happy to introduce everyone and perhaps this years foals will be on hand.   D     Our Horses "Kandi" and "Monica" are new additions to our group. Kandi a Clydesdale x Welsh Cob and is 16 yrs old and rather handsome, with her strawberry roan coat and flaxon tail, main and feathers. Anka is a Gypsy Cob and is 10 years old she is a driving horse and will pull a cart. Both are in training and getting fit.  .jpg?554 "P7220002_(800x639)") The Cats Six cats share the farm with us (and sometimes the house), they are a mixed bunch and will come and visit, but please remember to keep doors shut so they do not stow away. We have Pisschief (there is a story to her name!) a silver tabby DSH (domestic short hair) queen, who loves everyone. Then there is Jasper a Black neutered DSH tom, he thinks people are here to serve him and again is very friendly. We have Mr Bowjangles, our silver tabby long haired Maine Coon, he is neutered and is very shy, only special people get a visit from Bobo. New additions are Silage (a small black queen), Charcoal a rather large fluffy friendly black Tom and his sister Nipple a small tortoiseshell, all our cats were rescue cats and love it here in Wales.  "Bowjangles or Bobo" very handsome indeed  "Charcoal" cheeky and fearless! The Birds We have free range chickens (they lay our breakfast eggs) and two guinea foul. In the house we have two Parrots, namely Basil the African Grey and Pepe the Blue and Gold Macaw, both former Rescue Centre residents.   |
