Exmoor Pony Arrives At Odds Farm Park

Celestia The Exmoor Pony At Odds Farm Park

Staff at family day out favourite recently welcomed the arrival of a new Exmoor Pony named Celestia.

Visitors to the family day out favourite will love to meet 1 year old Celestia, who came to Odds Farm from an Exmoor breeder in Hertfordshire. Visitors on a day out will see that Celestia is a very pretty pony and very friendly too! She is now living with the farm’s Shetland ponies in the paddocks and can be seen by visitors on a day out.

The Exmoor pony has inhabited the Exmoor moorland since ancient times and is the oldest British pony. Exmoor is situated in the south west of Britain and is an area of high moorland providing a varied diet of moor grasses, rushes, heather and gorse.

Exmoor ponies are a rare breed with less than 1000 worldwide and are “endangered” on the Rare Breeds Survival Trust list. There are just 300 breeding mares producing 130 foals annually, 150 of the mares are still living free on Exmoor and the remainder throughout Britain.

Family day out favourite, Odds Farm Park is easily reached from Beaconsfield, Amersham, Chesham, Gerrards Cross, High Wycombe, Great Missenden and Wendover. For more information, directions and prices visit the family days out website www.oddsfarm.co.uk

Cute Baby Calves Born At Odds Farm Park

Toast And Bonnie At Odds Farm Park — Toast And Bounty At Odds Farm Park

The farm staff at popular children’s farm Odds Farm Park are keeping extra busy with the recent arrival of two new calves!

Both sharing the same father, a visiting British White bull called Prospero, but not the same mothers, the calves have been named Bounty and Brutus. Bounty was born to mother Toast, a beautiful Belted Galloway cow and is therefore a cross breed. Brutus is pure bred as his mother, Twilight, is also a British White cow.

The new additions and their mothers are currently in the Dipple Field and can be seen by families on a day out when taking a fun Tractor and Trailer ride around the farm.

Elsewhere at this top farm park, there’s stacks more to do on a family day out. With plenty more furry friends to meet, hours of Outdoor Play and the Indoor Playbarn, complete with Astra Slide, Ride-on Toys and the Bale Climb, what will you do first?

When Harry Met Annie!

Visitors to family day out favourite, Odds Farm Park, will be in for a surprise when they visit!

Following an accidental mating in the spring between cheeky Harry, a Golden Guernsey billy goat, and adorable Annie, a Bagot nanny goat, an extremely cute kid goat called Benji was recently born!

The Rare Breed Survival Trust classes Bagot goats as “Vulnerable” and Golden Guernsey goats as “Minority”. At this children’s farm, both individual breeds are part of active breeding programs and normally pure bred to ensure the kids have healthy blood lines.

The accidental mating between Harry and Annie was a rare occurrence when Harry escaped one evening and, as visitors on a day out will discover, the new arrival looks nothing like his mother but just like his father!
