Mossburn Community Farm

Mossburn Community Farm Mossburn is an animal sanctuary home to approx. 100 animals. We are open to visit every day 10am-4pm

Mossburn Community Farm was originally set up in 1990 and now cares for a wide range of misused, abused, unwanted and neglected animals as well as offering spaces where possible to animals whose owners can no longer look after them. We currently have around 100 animals including horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, goats, rabbits, guinea pigs, poultry and more! Our animals are as free range as we can allo

w them to be so we provide a great peaceful environment where visitors can get up close to the animals. As well as the animal side of things, Mossburn provides support for young people and adults with additional needs (physical, emotional, behavioural and mental) via our Animal Assisted Therapy programme, offering work experience placements, our weekly Mossburn Experience Group (where individuals with additional needs gain life skills and help to care for the animals), and more.

Whisper says what do you think of his new haircut? 😍
Poor old Whisper was way too hot with the heatwave recently and was dripping with sweat just standing in the field 🥵 He's now had a full clip and must be feeling much better. He can be a bit of a nervous pony and has never been clipped before to our knowledge so we were amazed with how good he was, not needing any sedation or anything 😊
It's not the best clip in the world but it does the job 😄

Our gorgeous cockerel Henry has been showing off his lovely colours in the sunshine 🌞 Bit too hot for most of the animals the last two days though, they (and us) will be glad for a bit of a cooler day tomorrow 🥵

🤩Can you help Rowan raise funds for Mossburn? 🤩
10 year old Rowan has committed to running a mile every single day in May to raise money for us. She has done brilliantly with her fundraising so far, raising almost £600 between offline and online donations. Can you help her raise even more?!
Rowan has been very dedicated, running in all weathers and powering through when tired - now the end of the month is in sight!

You can donate to Rowan's fundraising page below 😊

It's always nice to see our horses and ponies having a peaceful lie down together (although Jazz on the left is usually snoring 🤭). Horses will only lie down if they feel safe and comfortable so it's especially nice to see newcomers like Archie, on the right, lying flat out with his new friends 😊🥰
