Horses
My name is Murphy. I’m the slightly stubborn horse on the farm. But like Tom and all my friends I work hard giving riding lessons for RDA on Friday mornings and at weekends and during school holidays for visitors to the farm. It costs a lot of money to keep us in food, shoes and dental visits during the year.
£50 per sponsor.
Pigs
My name is Cody the Pig. I live on the farm with my friends Izzy and Sky and lots of other friends. We all love to eat and lie in the mud. If you would like to sponsor one of us you can keep our picture proudly on your mantle piece!
£30 per sponsor.
Goats
My name is Sadie. I’m the naughty goat that helps herself to your bags of animal feed! Would you like to sponsor me and my friends?
£30 per sponsor.
Pygmy Goats
Our names are Daisy and Lottie. We are two Pigmy Goats that live at Acorn Farm. We love to play on our slide and be petted by visitors.
£40 per sponsor.
Sheep
Our names are Molly & Muriel. We are twin Herdwick lambs born in June 2005. We were orphaned at our home in the Lake District and came to live here where we were hand reared. As we get older our fleeces (wool) will change from black to grey. Here we are in the summer just after having a ‘haircut’! We have lots of sheep and lamb friends to sponsor.
£25 per sponsor.
Rabbits and Guinea Pigs
There are lots of rabbits at Acorn Farm. We all enjoy being groomed and meeting the visitors to the farm. We have lots of guinea pig friends too.
£15 per sponsor.
Ducks
Our names are Donald & Daisy. We are Indian Runner Ducks (that means we are very tall to look at when we are walking or running). Some of our friends are Muscovy and Aylesbury ducks. Would you like to sponsor us?
£15 per sponsor.
Cockerels and Hens
I am a Polish bantam, I live on Acorn Farm with some of my friends, which are fancy cockerels and hens. We are very proud of our plumage, so if you would like to sponsor us we will look stunning for your photograph.
£15 per sponsor.
