Farmer Palmers Has Been Welcoming Generations
The Palmer family diversified our dairy farm over 23 years ago. The relationship we have with our animals is special. We are proud to still be a family friendly, family-run Farm Park who also farm the land in Dorset. Horses and ponies have been looked after by our family over the generations.
Who Are Our Ponies and Donkeys
You will probably have met Miss Muffet, Darl, Micky, Sunny our pony pack. Our Donkeys are Toby and friends.
Our ponies and donkeys have a forever home here at Farmer Palmers, and all we ask for in return is a little pony grooming. They love to chase each other around the paddock or roll in the grass.
What will your adoption mean to our Ponies and Donkeys?
To be honest, their priority is companionship then food. Your adoption support will contribute towards their welfare and help us share their animal antics with you even if you are at home. We pride ourselves on excellent standards of welfare and your help will only go towards the expensive items listed below:
- Hay
- Yummy pony nuts or chaff
- Fresh GRASS
- Straw & shavings for bedding
- Foot trimming with the farrier
- Our Council animal exhibition licence
- Vets visits and annual vaccinations!
- Insurance
Animals are dependent upon us To Do It Right
Sandra & Phillip Palmer are so proud of our amazing animal barn team. Their care, knowledge and kindess ensuring our animals are treated like family is important to us. Come rain or shine our team will be looking after their physical and mental needs resulting in perky ponies.
We focus on quality and ensuring all of our animals live within Defra’s 5 Freedoms.
- There is Freedom from hunger and thirst: by ready access to fresh water and a diet to maintain full health and vigour.
- Providing Freedom from discomfort: by providing an appropriate environment including shelter and a comfortable resting area.
- Organising Freedom from pain, injury or disease: by prevention through rapid diagnosis and treatment.
- Encouraging Freedom to express normal behaviour: by providing sufficient space, proper facilities and company of the animal’s own kind.
- Freedom from fear and distress: by ensuring conditions and treatment which avoid mental suffering.
