My lot share their yard and paddocks with 10 chickens, a cockerel and three tamworth pigs, not to mention a GSD and a senile collie dog, oh yes and three cats! What about yours?
 
All on his lonesome except for lab when he doesn't chase her out of field.

numerous chickens, best part of a hundred pigs in various stages of being ready for slaughter, couple of hundred sheep, one sheepdog in training, one westy and a sausage dog.

not to mention the YO who is a bit of an animal!!!!! lol!

About 20 bunny rabbits and 20 guinea pigs who are bred from.

Suffice to say it is not the quietest of yards but it is really friendly and as the only livery on the yard(only 4 stables) there is zero bitchyness.
 
my boy has two mares opposite him in his field - several dozen sheep who wander in between the two fields, few hundred heifers and calves in the fields next to him that wander around the farm... ohh two kittens and lots of dogs that belong to me, my friend (her farm) and passing visitors!


oooohhh i love it there!!!

A large flock of sheep.,herd of cows - not grazed with horses, ducks, pheasants, 3 geese, 4 rare black swans and 4 sheepdogs.

We have a large flock of nesting housemartins every year who nest in the stables and spend hours dive bombing the horses in the summer, which makes for a beautiful sight. As do the swans.

tho Kao was terrified of them at 1st, then she decided she hated them and would chase them

Chickens (lots), sheep and cows. The only problem is someone is eating his tail. I think it is the calves because the tail is getting shorter as they get taller and they have eaten the fluffy bit off the bulls tail too!
 
Sheep in her field, who she ignores unless they're between the gate and her at fetching in time...then woe betide them!
Lots of dogs on the yard, doesn't mind big ones, takes pot shots at little ones.
Three cats who she quite likes.
And the WILDLIFE - deer are always running through the paddocks and up the farm tracks, which makes for interesting hacks, lots of pheasants, hares (ditto the hacking) and a very large hawk of some sort on the drive.
Never a dull moment...

I used to keep my horses on a dairy farm, getting to the stables meant going through the farm yard and the milking herd every evening - the best possible cure for any horse that might be cattle shy!

Watch out for sheep tics too

Will keep a watch out for those tics.
 
Our three horses share with one sheep now, but had three in the past. The remaining sheep now comes in at night with the retired cob.

We get visiting cattle and did once have a visiting hot air balloon, which caused absolute mayhem. The chickens go in the field some of the time and occaisionally the JRT (also known as the git) gets in with them when she escaped again.
