​We had a fabulous stay at Lowertown Farm Hannah and Luke were excellent hosts nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was delicious, it set us up perfectly for our days riding. Hannah gave us detailed directions and maps to follow which helped immensely when we were finding our way around the moor. I cannot recommend this place enough. We had a lovely time and will definitely be visiting again!!

New Chickens!

Our new chickens seem to prefer roosting in the trees than in the hen house with the other hens..... Unaware of the fact that the enclosure is fox-proof so they don't have to find a high spot.

Autumn Feeding

13/9/2019

Comments

 
Today started with feeding the cows from the tractor and trailer, the grass quality has started to decline (although its still growing well) so we top up their diet with a bit of extra roughage, just enough to keep them content in the field before they come into the shed for winter in November. 😀
Dotty (my favourite cow) normally runs alongside the trailer leaping and bucking in excitement. 😂 ❤️

Horse and Hound Article

11/9/2019

Interesting letter written to Horse & Hound last year which of course brings out a load of emotions for horsey people.
We decided to specialise in full retirement livery, which of course doesn't suit everyone's circumstances, but should be considered if the horse is happy and healthy.
It means that retired horses can enjoy whatever time they have left here, rather than be passed on from home to home, either on loan, or sold on, with their owners still deeply involved in their management and care.
Plus so that owners can - if they wish - purchase a younger horse knowing that their older horse's ongoing care is going to be managed with that horse's welfare coming first.....including the vital but necessary end of life care which is by far the toughest part of the job.
As we purely specialise in retirement livery, the horse won't have the stresses of daily life with other horses coming and going that you may find at other livery yards.
Plus so that owners can - if they wish - purchase a younger horse knowing that their older horse's ongoing care is going to be managed with that horse's welfare coming first.....including the vital but necessary end of life care which is by far the toughest part of the job.
A peaceful, relaxed retirement in a secure and tranquil environment with all the tlc they have enjoyed throughout their lives.

Rather wet outside today but it's warm and cosy inside @LowertownFarm. Wood burner in our guest sitting room doing a great job, with use of the back boiler (hidden from view) heating our guest bedrooms. The copper pipes go from the boiler straight upstai

A day away yesterday - up on Exmoor visiting the livestock market followed by visiting an upland farm (a bit bigger than Lowertown), meeting a bunch of Exmoor farmers and having a good social event. Thanks to those who organised it. ☺ @Exmoor National

1st September and it feels like Autumn has arrived, ripe blackberries and sloes, apples and pears in the orchard and hedge-trimming our country lanes.

    Welcome

    Just a little bit about all that's going on at Lowertown Farm, in the heart of Dartmoor National Park where the wild ponies roam on England's largest wilderness.
