There's plenty of activities for youngsters and adults alike, including rabbit, chick and guinea pig handling, lambs and goat kids to bottle feed, piglets to meet, seasonal demonstrations (lambing, shearing, milking etc.), 2-mile Wildlife Walk and play areas both indoors and outside. All the farming experiences you could wish for, with the comforts of easy parking, a restaurant, bar and gift shop.
You can also plan a farm stay with Cotswold Farm Park Holidays, providing a range of accommodation from Luxury Lodges with hot tubs to Safari Tents and Premium Pitches for motorhomes and caravans.
In the U.S. author Margarite Henry wrote a book about different breeds of horses and Suffolk Punch horses were one of my favorites since I was 12, I'm now 83'
Well done. As I live in East Anglia the Suffolk Punch is top of the list. But I hope the other British heavy horses get the same kind of support to stop them becoming extinct too.
I spent quite a bit of my childhood (centuries ago!) on the Norfolk/Suffolk border, and my heart always leaps when I see heavy horses. Thank you, and thanks to all the amazing enthusiasts who are keeping this level of beauty alive.
On the 22/09/24 Sunday, Gressenhall Museum in Norfolk is having a day of showing Suffolk Punches at work ploughing etc. I am definitely going to have a look.
I am totally not a fan of the Amish. They use their horses up and send them off to slaughter. I have seen absolute horror stories. I rescued a mare I used to own from a kill pen that had been used by the Amish and it made me cry when I got her back. They don't call a vet usually. They do their own farrier work which is inferior. I hope these collars can be made to fit these horses properly because I can't see that they don't put pressure on their withers.
This is a terrific topic, and everybody, including the horse is charismatic, but please, focus the camera on the collar when he is describing the different parts of the collar!
Which breeders are you talking about? The ones that breed too many horses and send them to kill pens?. The AQHA hat supports horse slaughter because it profits them to have horses born every year? And they also support riding horses at 2 and even have futurities for these poor horses that shouldn't be ridden that young
The seemingly endless Belgian heavy horses, used by the Amish, being sent to kill pens at Bowie, Texas. After being worked so hard they are disabled, then thrown away. Thankfully people like Fletcher Farms Amarillo rescue them, treat them, so they can retire in peace.
This was such a fun day and lovely to meet Adam and show off Ben the Percheron. Everyone was so lovely and I really like seeing all the positivity here!
Very fun learning about this! I have read the James Herriot book series at least 5 times, but of course he didn't go into this specific detail, being primarily written from the veterinary vantage. For anyone interested, they are EXCELLENT books.
Very fastinating! I love the preservation of all rare breeds. And all the better in domestic livestock that have superb qualities. Thank you! And your Dad's wisdom and compassion has certainly paid off!
The blue eye in the Dutch is a disqualification in the us. Ps I'm from orange city IA home of the MOC-FV Dutch. Yes I've had Dutch looked exactly like yours we used him as an unofficial mascot because of his temperament.
I live in Norway and have had all sorts of animal during my life! Lately I'v gotten in to chickens.... Didn't think I liked fowl, but boy was I wrong! They are so cute and personable! ❤❤ We keep a variety of breeds and get eggs of many different colours! Love it! ❤❤
