Other Animals at Wiccaweys
Meet our other family members
Lady Tara
Please allow us to introduce you to Lady Tara, or Lady T to her chums. Tara is my 40th birthday pressie to myself, and joined the Wiccs crew after her previous Mummy had to go into hospital for major surgery on her back. Tara's field companion had also passed away, so she needed a new home and friends.
Lady T is a cheeky madam - full of fun and mischief! She is a lady of more mature years, being 21yrs old, but she won't let you know that! She has the Wiccs volunteers wrapped round her hooves! She loves all her admirers and all the fuss and attention she gets - especially if an apple or carrot is involved!
Tara is extremely tolerant of just about everything, and regards the dogs as idiots! She is fabulous for socialising the dogs and getting them use to horses. Her best friend here is little Pocket Rocket, the JRT pup. They spend hours in the field together - in fact, Tara's field is the meeting point for just about all the gang here. We regularly find Tara, the cats and a few dogs out there passing the time away together.

Out with my Mum - we are thoughtful here - at peace with the flowers, and contemplating life in general - either that or we are lost! TeeeHeee!
Go on, admit I am the most beautiful horse in the world.... according to me and my Mum.
My Mum kisses and cuddles me a lot! I have her wrapped round my delicate little hoof!

I love my western saddle, Me & Mum are riding the range!!
Cats
We have several cats at Wiccaweys. Most are semi-feral and spend their days desimating the local rabbit population.
A couple are friendlier, and visitors to Wiccaweys are most likely to bump into Glory. She is our stunt cat and is usually nosing around when visitors appear. She tends to throw herself in front of arriving dogs, and then look at us as if to say, "Yes, Cat Test Passed" or "Nope, I'll be down the field!" She does have a habit of trying to get into peoples cars, so we have to ask people to check for cats before leaving!
Polar is often lurking around the house too - although he has a strict 'You can look, but not touch me' policy. Polar was extremely feral when he arrived from Ireland, so he has made huge progress. Polar's favourite game is to wait until it is time for the chickens to go to bed for the night, and then jump out at them from behind a flower pot! He makes them sqwark! He usually gets a pecked bottom, before he heads off down the path looking very pleased with himself!
We also have Princess, Eric, Oscar, Sweetie, Tinks and Dib - although visitors won't really see them around much.

Goats
We have a small and friendly herd of pygmy goats at Wiccaweys. They are Harvey & Rosie, and George & Mildred.
They are very friendly, very cheeky and they love attention and visitors.
If any children visiting Wiccaweys would like to meet the goats, just ask.

Chickens
We have a 4 Pekin Bantams, Agnes, Hinge & Brackett and Lemony Snicketts. They lay when they feel like it, and generally just cluck around doing chickeny stuff!
They did have the run of the front garden, but since the concerns over bird flu, they have been kept in a chicken run - which they are not happy about and work very hard at escape plans, so they can sunbath on the lawn with Glory and the other cats.
