Bringing our Wildlife to you!
We had a Lady come to the farm to look at Smuggler, who we are selling. We had him gelded last week, as most people don’t want Colts or Stallions as they believe that they can be a bit of a handful, especially if there are Fillies or Mares in the vicinity. I have always […]
I spoke to one of the Lock of the Lowe’s girls this afternoon, It seems that all of the Ospreys have now left the Lock and are on their migration. When I spoke to Peter the manager a couple of days ago, there was a male who was seemingly building a nest. He thought at […]
The Badgers can be seen from 7.30pm. We will be feeding them between 8-8.30pm Walking around the lake I saw another Moorhen who had just hatched a clutch of three eggs. I also saw the other Moorhen who had two chicks a couple of weeks back, she had one swimming with her. There may have […]

We called them in. Tass had something in her mouth that she carried into the kitchen. At first we thought […]

We had another unpleasant job today with the Veterinary. We had to have Smuggler our four year old Colt gelded. He has been at Denbury most of his life, the intention being to break him for riding. Unfortunately we have not had the time, so the time has come to try to sell him to […]
