    I put this thread here, because their not my pets,, altho i concider them just that, and their not in my garden, but i sure wish they were,,lol. But after a trip to the Viking Farm with Sigrund, all the animals were lazing about and just looked so natural with their enviroment.

    The horses.

    Kolbjørn had just fed the boars so they were the only ones moving about!

    I love the animal pictures they all look very happy like they know they are for show and not for riding off to battle or for eating. Too bad about the baby boar that died.

    I love that the animals have so much room to roam around, come and go with in boundries ofcourse, but free to roam..

    The sheep are off on the far end of the farm, and its very hard to get to, but they also have the freedom to go about naturally.

    The baby boar that died was because daddy boar, not shown, got over zeleous with his food and stepped on him... but the others are doing great and growing so fast...remember they were just born in the beginning of April i think.
