Alpaca
called Surfinia
Surfinia is a delightful alpaca and lives
with her friend Fernando as well as our 11
llamas. She is a lovely chestnut colour and
has the most adorable eyes with eyelashes to
die for! She is very friendly and always
interested in who has come to say hello and
loves to give kisses. |
 |
Arab X
called Crackerjaque
Crackerjaque has been at the farm for all of
his life and is very clever – he can jump
and has won prizes for being the best. He
has lots of friends here and is always keen
to show the others just how it is done. His
favourite pastime is to gallop across the
fields with the wind in his hair – and he is
very fast! |
 |
Donkey
called Bart
Bart is a very cute and adorable Miniature
Donkey with a very cheeky face! He lives
with our other full size donkey, Harriet and
enjoys people coming to see him. He likes
nothing better than playing out in the field
with Harriet and the Reindeers, and looks
very cute in his special coat that he has
for when it is wet. |
 |
Emu
called Rod
An unusual character – Rod the emu and his
girlfriend are very big attractions here at
Lords House Farm – there aren’t many places
in Lancashire where emus graze side by side
with horses! The resident animals here have
grown used to the sight of these long legged
birds with comic faces and large eyes with
eyelashes to die for. Although they may look
quite fearful they are actually very
friendly and love to peck at bright, shiny
objects. Hide your jewellery ladies! |
 |
Exmoor
pony called Brambles
Brambles is a special pony as she is an
Exmoor which is now a rare breed. She has
not been with us very long but she has
settled in very well. Her best friend is a
Highland pony called Bartie and together
they love showing off at the local riding
club. |
 |
Fallow
Deer called Ash
Ash is a male Fallow Deer and lives in a
huge paddock with five other Deer friends.
He gets to play out all day but loves going
to visit the guinea pigs and the parrots (he
secretly steals the parrots food, hee hee!).
He was born at the Welsh Mountain Zoo in
North Wales on the 19th June 2003, but
unfortunately his mummy couldn’t keep him
because he was a boy deer and I would cause
trouble when he grew up by fighting with his
dad. His favourite time is when the children
go and visit him and take him peanuts. |
 |
Goat
called Rosemary
Basil and Rosemary, the pygmy goats.
were bred at Lords House Farm and live with
their friend, Chanel, in the paddock next to
the emu. They leap about like spring
lambs doing acrobatics and love to jump on
top of their big toys to play king of the
castle! |
 |
Highland
Pony called Bartie
Bartie is a handsome chap who loves to show
off for an audience. He is from Scotland and
loves galloping about in the fields with his
friend Brambles. All the children love to
ride him (and a few adults too!) as he is so
laid back and cool. |
 |
Llama called Chico
Chico arrived as a big surprise in 2005 and gets lots of attention. He is
quite a character and always wants to get in
on the act. Out in the field with the herd
cheeky Chico runs in and out between the
‘grown ups’ and makes them dizzy. He really
likes playing with the reindeer and has
races with them, which he always wins! |
 |
Owl
called Alison
Alison is a large eagle owl. The largest of
all our owls, she is fairly quiet except at
feed times when she calls loudly till she is
fed. She has huge orange eyes and is now
three years old. She is hand tame and will
fly to the glove to retrieve her food from
her handler. |
 |
Python
called Monty
Monty Python is only two years old but is
already about 12 feet long. She lives in a
large glass tank that is specially heated
for her, because as she is cold blooded, she
needs extra heat to keep her body warm. Her
relatives in the wild live in North and
Central America where it is much warmer, and
they spend most of their time sunbathing.
Monty loves being a snake – her life
involves sunbathing, eating, sunbathing and
eating. She even gets lots of cuddles from
her keepers and from all the other boys and
girls that come to see her at Lords House
Farm. |
 |
Reindeer
called Thunder
Thunder is a real reindeer and lives at
Lords House Farm with his brother Lightning,
although his best friend is actually a llama
called Bilby. Thunder has some magnificent
horns and has to be careful he doesn’t knock
into the other animals with them although he
has a good game he plays with his brother –
locking horns. |
 |
Sheep
called Shawn
Shawn is a very large, friendly sheep who
was bottle fed and hand reared at Lords
House Farm from 2 days old as he was
orphaned. He has a personality crisis as he
thinks he is a dog and will follow you
anywhere! He is the ringleader of all our
sheep, which is good and he is so tame he
can help our Sheepdog, Skye, round up the
sheep! |
 |
Shetland
pony called Teddy Bear
Teddy bear is a tiny, chestnut Shetland pony
that stands about 28” high . His party trick
is to dress up at Christmas as the world’s
smallest reindeer and accompany Father

to schools and town centres. He is now about
9 years old and has an equally tiny friend
call Titch who is black and white. |
 |
Tortoise
called Penelope Pitstop
Penelope is the matriarch of our tortoises
here –being approximately 32 years old and
about the size of a small dinner plate. She
has a huge appetite, chomping her way
through tomatoes and greens – her favourite
being dandelion leaves. The other smaller
tortoises follow her around and cluster
around her to sleep. |
 |
Wild boar
called Gertie
Gertie the wild boar lives with our other
pigs but she is definitely the boss. Gertie
looks a bit scary but is not at all and
loves being stroked and having her back
scratched. Her favourite time of the day is
when lunch arrives and she gets potatoes and
fruit. She also likes to go out for walks
with the horses. |
