At Little Beggshill we keep horses.  We have three.  Well, technically, we have one horse, an appaloosa, and a Shetland and a miniature shetland.

As you can see from the picture, the two shetlands add up to about the same size as our appaloosa.  Please be careful when they come to the fence, if you don't know horses, then wait until  Susi or I are around and we'll supervise the stroking and feeding.  The two Shetlands can be over eager when trying to get a tit-bit from your hand and may nibble a finger by mistake.

We also have two cats who you might see out and about around the small holding.

We have also gained some very friendly chickens who will visit you at the bothy.  They are very fond of sultanas and will feed from your hand if you wish.  Although we do have a cockeral, he isn't that noisey, actually what may wake you up is the hens on the windowsill and not his crowing.  If you don't like chickens, just shoo them away.
