Suffolk Punch Filly

Names: Mora
Born: 2025
Say hello to Mora, our beautiful young Suffolk Punch filly! Mora is not just any pony—she’s part of one of the rarest and most special horse breeds in the world!
Even though Mora is still young, she’s already full of personality, and we can’t wait to watch her grow and develop. She’s going to learn a lot of new skills, and we’ll be sharing updates with you as she gets bigger and stronger.

There are fewer than 500 purebred Suffolk Punch horses registered in the UK. They are so endangered that they are now rarer than the giant panda.

Highland Cows

Name: Bridget
Born: 2014
At Standalone Farm, we’re lucky to have a very special resident—Bridget, our gentle Highland Cow. If you’ve ever met Bridget, you’ll know just how lovable and unique she is. With her long, shaggy coats and calm nature she looks like a big, fluffy teddy bear. But her gorgeous hair is more than just a cute feature—it helps protects her in cold weather.

Highland cows are the oldest breed of cattle in the world. They’ve been around since the 6th century.

Yorkshire Pigs

Names: Snob
Born: 2019
Meet Snob, our resident Large White pig who’s got more sass than a soap opera and more opinions than your great-aunt at a wedding. A true connoisseur of snacks and scandal, Snob can sniff out a biscuit and your deepest secrets from across the farm. Descended from the noble old Yorkshire line and officially recognised in 1868 (yes, he has the pedigree and the attitude), Snob struts about like he personally founded the National Pig Breeders’ Association.

Pigs have their own language of communication, utilizing a variety of sounds like grunts, squeals, and oinks to express different emotions and needs.

Animal Contact Advice

Please wash your hands after feeding or having any contact with animals, especially before eating or before your little farmers play in the play area. Wash your hands with soap and water as hand gels do not protect against all the germs animals carry.
Animals can carry diseases such as E. coli, Cryptosporidium, Chlamydophilia abortus, Salmonella and others. It is the responsibility of the parent or guardian to ensure that children are monitored and that necessary precautions are taken to prevent infection.
