'Spent an amazing day learning about keeping Valais Blacknose Sheep as pets and came away wishing I had a lamb on the back seat to take home! Helen and her family were both welcoming and informative, clearly having a passion for everything they do. I learned so much and left feeling ready to embark upon the sheep owning journey. I couldn’t contain my excitement once home and my husband now wants to do the course too so he can share my enthusiasm.
Thank you Helen for sharing your knowledge!'
'Thank you so much! We had an amazing day learning in the perfect setting with fantastic food, great company AND sheep cuddles. It doesn't get any better than that!'
'I just wanted to say thank you again for a great course on Saturday.
I learnt a lot and it has kick started my plan to get my own!'
