Winston is a lovely teenage horse full of energy and vitality. With a zest for life, he’s curious in nature and loves to explore the world around him.

He loves long walks, kicking balls in the field and making you chase him when he takes your brushes or buckets.

Winston is a massive foodie who will steal your heart, and your carrot if you’re not watching.

Goats

We have four beautiful miniature goats here at the farm—Valentino, Bentley, Angel, and Luna—each with their own unique personality.

Angel is especially sweet and calm, while Valentino is our cheeky little character. All of them are incredibly affectionate and love cuddles, making them a beloved part of our farm family.

“I love going to the farm and being with the animals. They make me feel calm and Shakayla helps me feed the horses. I like to spend time on the grass with Stella and Buddy. Animal experiences is the best day of the week.”
