Miniature new attractions at Woodside

For children can pet the three-foot tall miniature ponies at the leisure park, close to Slip End.

The animals, called Cinderella and Safire, are both female, chesnut and bay in colour, and enjoy a diet of pony nuts, chaff, carrots and hay.

Cinderella is aged two and is a very friendly pony.

She enjoys company and will roll over if you stroke her.

Keepers at the farm plan to breed eight-year-old Safire and hope she will produce a foal next year.

Families can visit Woodside Animal Farm throughout the summer holidays for £7 per adult and £5 per child. Under twos go free. For more information visit www.woodsidefarm.co.uk
