Pet Goats and Horses at Rose Bridge Farm & Sanctuary
My sister and I celebrated Mother's Day a bit differently this year. For the past few years, my family has been focusing on presents that are less materialistic and more about experiences. Now that my sister and I no longer live with our parents, creating memories with each other will always be the most important thing. So this year for Mother's Day, my sister and I took our incredible mom to the Rose Bridge Farm & Sanctuary in Dresher, PA.
Rose Bridge Farm & Sanctuary
The Rose Bridge Farm & Sanctuary is located in Dresher, PA. Their farm is home to a multitude of animals like cows, horses, goats, pigs, chickens, and camels. All of their animals come from dairy farms, meat farms or livestock auctions. Most of their animals are rescued and waiting to be adopted to a home that will provide them with love and care. They offer all different activities to cow cuddling and goat hiking to bird house painting and plant potting.
Pet Goats and Horses & Piggies & Chickens & Camels
My mom, sister, and I celebrated Mother's Day by "mothering" baby goats and pigs. We were sat inside the barn in a fenced area and arrived just in time for their bottle feeding. I've never bottle fed goats so this was a completely new experience for me. Man, were those goats anxious to be fed. Once they had some warm milk in their bellies they were sleepy. That's when you can pick them up and cuddle these soft animals. They will fall asleep right in your arms. It was incredibly peaceful and comforting.
That was until I completely bonked my head in front of the entire barn. Luckily for you, I happened to be recording the entire embarrassment on camera. Scroll to see the video!

Feeding Baby Goats
Shannon Boyle/ BBGI PhiladelphiaWe arrived just in time for their afternoon feeding. Right before this the goats were making their crazy noises excited for feeding time. You can enjoy this experience by booking a private feeding and cuddling session with the baby goats and pigs.
Goat Cuddling
Shannon Boyle/ BBGI PhiladelphiaCuddles all around! I couldn't get enough of these little goats, Momo and Oslo. Book a baby goat cuddling session on Road Bridge Farm and Sanctuary's website.
Piggies
Shannon Boyle/ BBGI PhiladelphiaThis is Kevin! It seems like Kevin has been plotting his escape from the fenced in area for a bit of time. He and his sister figured out a way to use their little bodies to bend the wired fencing and escape outside. It was hilarious. They both discovered that their food is stored outside and they needed it NOW! We had to keep running after them to put them back in their pen. Not videoed is everyone in the barn yelling, KEVIN, just like the movie, Home Alone.
Piglet Cuddling
Shannon Boyle/ BBGI PhiladelphiaThis is my mom "capturing" Kevin from his great escape. He had just been fed and still wanted more. These piggies were really squirmy too. It was a true hog chase.
Goats and Goats and Goats
Shannon Boyle/ BBGI PhiladelphiaThese are the adult goats. You can schedule a private session to hang out, pet, and feed them. They are hungry animals!
Chickens Too!
Shannon Boyle/ BBGI PhiladelphiaPlenty of chickens and roosters roam the farm too. They are all up for adoption. You can schedule a session to learn more about caring for these animals on the farm.
Beautiful Horses
Shannon Boyle/ BBGI PhiladelphiaThis stunning horse roams the farm in a large fenced in area. Not pictured are the several camels that share the land with them. The horses names are Lady, Luna, and Sugarcane.
Sleepy Goat
Shannon Boyle/ BBGI PhiladelphiaThis is MoMo. This baby goat was hungry and tired. He fell asleep right in my sister's arms the entire time. He was incredibly soft and gentle.
