Horses & cows – what’s the difference in their stomachs?

Horses & cows both like eating grass, but did you know that they digest their food in different ways.  In this pony advice and information film, you can learn what’s the difference in their stomachs.

You may have noticed that horses are always eating, but sometimes cows are just sitting around.  Are they lazy?  Find out what they are doing and why cows behave differently to horses.

Stop that Shetland pony galloping about!

Stop that Shetland pony galloping about at The Ranch. What is he doing and why?

Batman is galloping about in the big field at The Ranch. He is joined by Samson and Crème Caramel and they are galloping really fast. What is making them run away and how fast can they run?

Why is that Shetland pony galloping about?

Shetland ponies are flight animals and it’s their natural behaviour to run away or gallop about when they sense danger or something unexpected.

Is there something unusual at Shetland Pony Club that’s causing all that pony galloping?
