At Bergin Equine we have a number of rescue ponies and we are proud to be associated with the Irish Horse Rehoming Program IHRP. We have adopted a number of horse from them and rescued some independently. If you are intrested in adopting from IHRP please contact them directly.
We adopted "Crioadh" and Dove from IHRP (Irish Horse Rehoming Programme who save horses from slaughter) in IHRP. Crioadh is a gentle, nervous soul and one of the softest ponies out there with and is very tolerant of her mischievous daughter "Dove". "Dove" on the other hand is a bundle of attitude! While being a mere 2 foot tall in her mind she’s the size of a Clydesdale! This pair would warm the hardest of hearts and bring us so much joy and laughter on a daily basis.
We have a small flock of chickens including rescued battery hens and Pekin bantums. In spring and summer the supply us with an endless supply of fresh free range eggs.. If you are interested in any of Brambly Hedge Farm ducks please contact us.
Tico, Jesse, Nell and Little Bear are the welcome committee. Loving nothing more than clients who are willing to throw a ball! If you are interested in any of Brambly Hedge Farm dogs please contact us.
We have a small herd of pedigree Dexter cattle. Dexters are about half the size of a traditional beef steer infact they are the smallest of European breeds. They are thought to have come to Ireland with the celts. Our herd are the long leg phenotype rather than the short leg phenotype. All our herd are the rarer red strain rather than the more common black strain. If you are interested in any of Brambly Hedge Farm dexters please contact us.
