At our farm we have: Queso the horse, Lily Belle the minature horse, Abby the minature donkey, Tonka and Chevy the goats, Bob and Spencer the sheep, Lucy the pot belly pig, two cats--Peachy and Aurora, 5 rabbits--Mocha, Pumpkin, Fluffy, Scar, Brownie, 8 laying hens, 2 roosters--Peck and Jeffrey, and 5 chicks.
Lucy--the goats, sheep, and donkey love to torture her. She has to be sedated to clip her nails, or the vet tech has to lay across her back while the vet clips them. She used to be a pampered indoor pig, arriving at the farm with SPF 50 sunscreen and children's vitamins. Now she has a mudhole and eats all the kids' leftovers a.k.a. slop. Times have changed for Lucy, but she's quite happy.
Queso--he's blind in one eye and so gentle. He was donated by Olivia's summer riding camp. We soak his food because he's 25 years old and his teeth don't have much grit to them anymore. He loves to be ridden!
Lily Belle is a miniature horse, nearly full grown. She is about 8 months old. She thinks she is a mustang, and the donkey and full-size horse have to know where she is at all times or they pace and get very nervous. The kids want to walk her in the Chuy's Christmas parade downtown, so they train her . . .
Chevy and Tonka--donated by a local FFA program. They are typical goats--climbing everywhere, eating anything, and escaping often.
Abby--she is one fiesty girl. She protects everyone, and is very vocal.
Peachy or Aurora? Super-friendly cats that receive lots of attention from all of the kids at school. They are the official greeters at school, walking each child to the front door.
Mocha--our chubby lop-eared rabbit.
