Meet Our Animals
Get to know their stories.
Jolene
Jolene the drama queen! Even though she’s the newest addition to our farm, Jolene rules the roost (more like the pig pen). She’s extremely affectionate and loves to spend her time munching on plants and complaining when supper is late.
Masie
Maisie is our best behaved pig. Before finding her forever home at Ricky’s Drift, she was the victim of animal abuse, and lost her unborn children. Now Maisie lives a peaceful life, burrowing for bugs and cuddling with Jolene.
Penelope
Penelope is one of the cutest pig’s you’ll ever meet but keep your distance. Pen is rather unfriendly and keeps to herself in her field by the river. We are currently raising money to get her spayed safely, and we’re hoping this will help her feel less aggressive and more social.
Picasso
Picasso is our only boy on the farm. He was born with a lame leg. All three horses have been inseparable from time he stepped off the horse-box and into his new life.
Callisto
Being a girl never stopped Callisto from being the undisputed alpha-male of the horses. Callisto arrived with Echo after being rescued by the SPCA. After being chained up for years the two horses have found endless freedom and love on the farm.
Echo
Echo is our oldest horse, and sadly suffers from sever skin cancer. She loves eating sorrel in the olive grove and willow by the dam. She’s a beautiful soul and we’re lucky to have her.
Jess
Jess is Ricky’s Drift’s very own princess. She is everyone’s darling, and loves long walks and ear scratches. She’s also one of our best baboon watchers and pig herders.
Dixie
If Dixie was a human, she would have been head girl. Dixie loves rules and schedules and is a very, very good girl. Most days she keeps Ricky company or watches the farm from her spot by the cars.
Misty, Shauna and Taissa
Misty, Shauna and Taissa our the last of our chicken brood, and spend their days clucking around the farm scratching for worms. They’re quiet shy but the farm wouldn’t be home without them.
