MEet the cats
Adopted from Cats Protection, our feral yard cats, Lionel, Margret and Edgar help us control the pest population on the yard and keep our horses'environment pest-free. They are feral cats so they don't enjoy too much human interaction however they may be brave and venture close by. When they aren't out on the hunt, they can often be found sleeping amongst the saddle pads in the tack room, on the trailers or sitting on the stable doors.
