Reindeer

Applewood Farm has been known far and wide for the past 10 years for its Reindeer herd and the programs that Farmer Brian presented to visitors and school children about these wonderful and entertaining animals.

During 2008 we lost 2 reindeer to a tick born illness which left our bull, Spruce and 1 female, Millie. The winter of 2009, Spruce died, due to old age and declining health. Millie went to a good home. The result is that, regrettably, Applewood Farm no longer has a reindeer contingent for your enjoyment.

	Remington (Remy) is a 4 year old Southdown Sheep. Very fuzzy and personable, curly and curious and tall for a sheep, big enough to ride if your legs aren't too long!
Pygmy Goats Jackie (black/gray goat) is 9 years old and is playful and fun.
	Sophie Sophie is a miniature Sicilian Burro and is 10 years old. Look closely and you will see the cross on her back...tradition says these burrows are descended from the same burro that carried Mary to Bethlehem for the birth of Jesus!
Cinco My name is Cinco, I was born on May 5, 2010. I am a Miniature horse and I won't get much bigger than I already am. Yes I am a horse and not a small pony. The designation of miniature horse is determined by the height of the animal, which is usually less than 34-38 inches. They are generally quite hardy, often living longer on average than some full-sized horse breeds; tha average life span of miniature horses is from 25 to 35 years.
	Sweetheart Sweetheart is a pony. She gets her name from the heart shaped pattern on her forehead. She is shy and loves candy canes.
Alice Rose Alice Rose was born in June 2011. She has blue eyes and Mom, Sweetheart and baby are doing great.
	Big, Sweetheart, Alice Rose - stair steps from Big to a baby!
Bella Bella is a mini mix. She is very shy and loves carrots. She can be stubborn at times and yet she moves like a ballerina.
	Big Bronson (Big), is just that....a very, very big horse, part shire and quarter horse standing 17 1/2 hands high! He is retired now but you can see him grazing in the pasture when you come to visit.
