Woke up to a Wuthering Heights morning of beautiful fog. While looking for Heathcliff, we couldn’t stop fawning over Lucy and Truly ♥️

If ever “haunting” could be used to describe a morning so beautiful, it feels like our ancestors are here, this would be that morning.

Whilst Frank runs the Bobcat, the horses have free reign over the back half of the property. Lucy takes time to greet the goats, and Truly Scrumptious takes time to herself, as she is usually wont to do 😁

Patrick, Penny and Pearl did NOT want to go to bed this evening. It was like herding cats!
Thank you Dave Phillips and Fowler for being such good shepherds with a great sense of humor!

Lucy is ponying up for our new volunteer, Dave! All our animals love social calls in a “company is coming, get out the good china” kind of way. Please consider volunteering - we need morning and evening volunteers if you are interested, please DM us here!
Morning and evening shift is 30 minutes to feed and give water to the horses and the goats.

Longer stays are welcome if you want to brush, hang out with animals or help clean stalls out.

Things are getting back to normal after all the August injuries! We had a lovely walkabout in the pasture with Lucy & Truly Scrumptious today. Lucy, always the social butterfly stops to make sure no one is left behind ♥️
