Robin is a very friendly horse. He especially enjoys visitors who bring carrots or bread as treats.

Here is a recent photo of Robin the horse and Dollie Llama

Here is a photo of my darling little Icelandic sheep, Liam Jr, taken in October 2008. He truly is a joy to have around. I’ll have to take a picture of him enjoying the snow here in Michigan. Liam lives with my beloved Lambchop. They share a small shed, and have 2 paddocks to roam around in.
It has been very cold and snowy here at Frolic Farm. It was 0 again this morning. The critters seem to do just fine.

Happy New Year from Frolic Farm!

Let’s hope 2009 gets off to a swimmingly good start for you and everyone here at Frolic Farm. I am including a picture of some warmer times at the farm. Aren’t the geese beautiful? The ganders look like swans swimming in my pond. I have 2 pairs of African geese. They don’t eat much and are pretty to look at. They also keep the weeds down around the pond. The geese aren’t very friendly, so you can’t pet them. They threaten me with bodily harm everyday when I go into their pen to feed and water them (if the pond is frozen). They haven’t bitten me yet, though, so I just ignore their threats. I bet if I turned them out into my yard they would deter any burglars!

Visitors at Frolic Farm

On Saturday, a friend’s family came out to visit Frolic Farm and all the critters. They sure had a good time, and the critters enjoyed the treats they brought. The kids especially liked giving carrots to Hershey the Mini donkey, and then brushing her. Robin the horse rolled in the mud as the kids came up to the fence, so he was nice and dirty. The kids curried and brushed him, then I saddled him up so they could ride. Robin stayed pretty calm and steady for the kids, then their aunt mounted. My dog Kandi ran up behind Robin and startled him. Their poor aunt almost went flying off! Lucky thing she’s athletic and managed to stay on! I told her she would have had a soft, but muddy landing anyway.
The kids also enjoyed helping me with little Liam, who needed his hooves trimmed. Liam is my Icelandic sheep, and is small enough for me to handle easily.
The kids also fed treats of bread to the chickens, who rewarded them with 3 farm-fresh eggs, one for each child! The eggs were still warm when the kids gathered them. Dollie Llama enjoyed being brushed and combed by the kids, but liked the carrots treats even more!
We spent a lot of time with Smoky the bunny, who needed to be combed, toenails trimmed, and fed his Petromalt medicine for furballs. It was fun having the kids and family out for a nice visit.
