With all the uncertainty and all we've been through since Covid, think about how many times you sought refuge in the barn. Please donate and share to help save Squirrelwood and keep the herd together.

How can you say no to these faces?

Mango the black and white Juliana piglet looks sweetly up at the camera while standing in her straw and hay strewn stall with wood-lined walls.

Please get all those hooves and paws in for Miss Pesto. Best thoughts for her to respond to meds and get on the mend!

Feel like we are losing the battle with EPM. We are still fighting but pesto is getting tired.

They are sniffing and snuffling in hopes of cookies but will accept some love instead. They're accompanied by the last Amigo, the stalwart guard

Did you even realize how much you needed boops from Kiwi and Mango followed by the adorable swish of tails with bonus Amigo hisses? Well, now that you do, it's best to watch repeatedly while taking several deep breaths until you feel the tension leave your neck and shoulders💚

Everyone is wearing jackets against the wind as they gallop.

The Littles have absolutely no idea they are smaller than the other equines in the herd but to all of us they are the miniature cuties with a mischievous sense of fun. Enjoying a graze, zoomies, or velvety boops there's no doubt they will bring a smile while zooming around. 💚

Due to flooding the Littles are bunking with the Ancients tonight. Not ideal but better than loosing the Littles in a pond 😬

Need all the good thoughts for Pesto. She’s struggling. EPM meds are not working so far. She had a very poor weekend 😭

They all love visitors but especially when Beth comes to see them, dashing over for boops and love is the best 😊

Quoted post - video description for inclusivity: A wide view of a paddock next to a white and blue barn surrounded by split-rail fences. Several sheep and goats running towards the fence being silly and adorable. Several jump up to boops a greeting under a bright sun.

No matter how busy your weekend, some bouncing sheep and floppy ears is exactly what you need to take a quick break and enjoy a smile. Happy Thanksgiving to all our friends to the north and while times are complicated, there is still so much to be grateful for in the world💚

Quoted post - video description for inclusivity: Crouton the handsome cream/brown steer happily chomps some hay while standing behind the metal gate to his wood-lines stall. Lots of hay lay strewn around his hooves for easy reach and nibble.

Although this mess seems the work of the Barn Poltergeist👻 and spooky season is upon us, we know Crouton made this mess on purpose. Sometimes you just need to spread out your dinner "moo-style" so you can best decide how to attack the pile of goodies and Crout has his method💚

Quoted post - video description for inclusivity: Nickel, the black and white steer, standing behind the gate of his wood-lined stall. A hand with a small biscuit in frame and he reaches for it, give a little sniff, opens his mouth a little and his tongue almost peeks out as he turns away. So picky.

Nickel is not just a master of side-eye but also the fake out. Sure, it seemed like he was going to take a biscuit. He opened his sizeable mouth and even engaged that huge tongue only to snorty laugh at your gullibility. There's nothing like a steer with perfect comic timing😁

The most picky steer

Quoted post - video description for inclusivity: The barn aisle and a very small Crouton, the cream and brown calf, wearing a multicolored coat covered in cartoon cow print walks around in front of a straw bale mooing loudly. His tiny little hooves clatter on the floor while he explores his voice. 💚
