Say Hello to Our Animals
Meet JoJo!
My name is JOJO and I’m a boy. My mom tells me that I am the reason the mobile petting zoo started. She told me that when she adopted me from Muddy Boots Farm that people would reach out to her and ask if she did horse rides for kids. She didn’t at the time but thought, well why not? And here we are! I am able to ride children of 50 pounds and below because I am a mini horse, NOT A PONY. Sometimes my mom will dress me up as a unicorn for little girls, I feel like I look silly, but I love putting smiles on their faces! I am 8 years old and full grown. My best friend is waffles the donkey, although he does drive me crazy sometimes.
Please remind your loved ones the golden rule with horses no matter the size, NEVER WALK/RUN BEHIND A HORSE. It scares us and sometimes we get spooked and kick, with no intentions of hurting anyone. Although I’m a good boy and don’t do it, please always follow that rule!
Meet Stanley!
My name is Stanley also known as Stan the man or Stan the handsome man and I am a mini zebu cow. I was born December 27th, 2023 at muddy boots farm. My mommy bottle fed me, so now I am always up her butt (as she says) I am definitely her favorite, but just don’t tell the others. I shouldn’t get too much bigger than JOJO. I have a very ruff tongue and often times kids think I’m biting at them, which I promise I’m not, it’s just my tongue. Plus fun fact, I only have bottom teeth and not top teeth! I love coming to events and getting carrots and pets!
Meet Marjorie!
Hi my name is Marjorie aka Marge. My mom said that I got my name from her grandma. I am large and definitely in charge. I was born February 8th, 2023 , also at muddy boots farm. I am a Nigerian dwarf goat! I was a bottle baby too and my mommy used to put me in a diaper and onesie and take me everywhere! My mommy says I am bad because I don’t like to stay in pins at events, I know how to jump out of them, so I usually just run around and do my own thing. I am disbudded meaning I don’t have horns. My mom said she had to get them removed because she didn’t want me to head butt any kids, but do you think something as cute as me would do such a thing? Also, if you get up from your seat around me, I’ll probably take it! Goats also only have bottom teeth and not top teeth. I also have 4 stomachs, isn’t that cool?! I am always eating something. Now that my mom thought I needed a friend, Maggie, you might see me headbutt her at events because she might take all my food and we can’t have that!
Meet Maggie!
My name is Maggie aka Maggie moooo. I was born February 18th, 2024. I am a Nigerian dwarf goat. I was a bottle baby too from muddy boots farm and got to wear diapers and onesies and sleep in the bed with my mommy! She had to kick me outside once I figured out how to jump onto the kitchen counter and started eating her house plants! She originally got me because Marge wouldn’t stay inside the pins at events and wanting a goat that would but guess what, I DONT EITHER!!! So now mom is stuck with both of us being bad. I know she loves it though!! So, you’ll usually seeing me running around and hanging around the area at events too. I won’t run off because I am a momma’s girl. Sometime Marge and I will get along but most the time we like to head but each other and not listen. Don’t leave your door open when I am there because I will go inside and my first stop will be the kitchen! One time I went missing at an event and guess where they found me? In the birthday girls’ room with her and all her friends, eating chips. I don’t know why my mom made me leave her room. We were having so much fun!
Meet Louie!
My name is Louie aka Lou man. I was born March 23rd, 2024. I am a babydoll sheep. I was a bottle baby from a farm out in Newberry. I grew up with Maggie and slept in the bed with her and mom with a diaper on too until she kicked us both outside because we were both eating at her house plants. I used to walk around at events with Maggie, but I started to head butt children, and my mom thought that was probably not best for business. So now she makes me stay in a pen at events but don’t worry I will still try to headbutt you sometimes, but the stupid pen will block me from doing you any harm. I live with 7 goats and all we do all day is headbutt each other! I am very verbal at events usually. If somebody isn’t paying attention to me or feeding me, I will baaa until I get my way. My mom constantly tells me that I look homeless, and I should do better with letting her give me a bath, but I like to roll in the dirt right after she does. I get sheered in the springtime, usually at the end of March and I feel so naked. Can’t wait to meet & headbutt at you!
Meet Donald & Daisy!
Our names are Donald and Daisy. Donald is the one that has the fluffy hair on the top of his head. We are called Ancona ducks. Did you know that to tell a male and female duck from one other is by their tales. If the tail feathers turn up at the end they are males (it is called drake curl) and a females tail is straight. The reason why Donald has feathers on his head is because of a mutation in the ducks genes from way back in the day. Meaning the mutation causes a gap in the duck’s skull, filled with fatty tissue which then supports a large crest of feathers. We absolutely love food and will eat it out of your hands. We are kinda fast with it and that sometimes will scare people but we promise we mean no harm. We have round beaks unlike chickens so our pecks are softer. We love the kiddie swimming pool that our mommy has at home for us. Ducks absolutely love water and making it dirty!
