Meet the Animals

Goats, Sheep, Horses, Alpacas & more

Enjoy farm activities such as feeding the farm animals, collecting fresh eggs from the chicken coop, and offering carrots or apples to the friendly goats and sheep. Children especially love feeding them — so remember to bring suitable food scraps. They particularly like carrots and apples.

There are no set feeding times. Guests are welcome to feed the animals at their own leisure.

🐐

Goats

Our friendly pet goats love attention and are always happy to be hand-fed with fruit and vegetables.

🐑

Sheep & Lambs

Gentle and curious, the sheep are a favourite with children. Baby lambs appear seasonally.

🐎

Horses & Ponies

All our horses are competition show horses from our own Leeara Park Riding Ponies stud. Give them a carrot or two!

🦙

Alpacas

These gentle, fluffy creatures are a firm favourite with visitors young and old alike.

Lena the Mini Hereford

Our beloved pet mini Hereford cow, Lena, is always up for a visit and loves a good scratch behind the ears.

Chickens

Collect fresh eggs each morning from the chicken coop — the children absolutely love it!

Evening Routine

You will find us at the stables each evening

You'll usually find us at the stables near the cottage around 4:00pm each evening, preparing the evening feeds. At this time the farm animals are moved into separate small paddocks, making it a safe opportunity to feed them through the fence with food you have brought along.

The horses are walked from their day paddocks to their stable for the evening.

Our horses are competition show horses and are not available for guest riding, but you're very welcome to give them a gentle pat. Guests may also witness horses being ridden in the training area in preparation for competitions. We're happy to share our knowledge of the equestrian sport with you.

Since Covid, when we practised social distancing, we no longer ask guests to meet us at the stables — but you're very welcome to come over for a chat if you see us there each evening.
