MINI WORLD
Mini World is the home of all our miniature Shetland ponies. These ponies may be very small in stature, but they are big in character! A must for a visit if you come to Brickfields.

Shetlands are Probably the strongest member of the equine world in relation to their size. The standard Shetland can measure up to 42 inches at the wither, but the miniatures that we breed must not exceed 34 inches. The miniatures are quite often mistaken for Falabellas, which are a breed of horse originally bred in Argentina, and they should not exceed 30 inches.

We have been breeding minis for a number of years now; we would average three or four foals a year. The idea is to sell them, but one or two manage to stay with us!
The oldest mare that we breed from Sylvie, who is 18 this year, is now a great, great, great grandmother and still a wonderful mother.

FARM CORNER and DONKEY TOWN

Farm corner has a variable selection of different animals, including goats, rabbits, pigs, cattle, ducks and chickens.
There is a lovely range of weird and wonderful chickens to be seen.
The springtime is usually one of the best times, as there are lots of new arrivals of all shapes and sizes.

Our donkeys live alongside our farm animals. We do usually breed two or three foals each year.
One of the cutest baby animals has got to be a donkey foal, so hopefully you might be able to see one on your visit.
We have a miniature jack donkey who is called Lofty. There are four jenny donkeys, Brandy is the old lady of the crew, she has been old forever, so we are unsure of her age! The other girls are Esme, Holly and Bel, who are all wonderful mothers and hopefully will carry on producing for us.
The other very important member of the crew is a mule who is actually called Muffin.

There is also a rather good event takes place just in the high season and that is pig racing which takes place in Porkers Paradise. There are usually six or seven pigs and once you have chosen your winning pig, they go under starters orders and do a mad dash to the other end of their run, where they are rewarded with food!
