Farm animals

We have learned from our experience how important spending time with our animals is to some of our visitors. We try our best to make this a memorable experience, especially for the children visiting us. In addition to our family and guests, Ilomäki farm is home to horses, sheep, chickens, rabbits, cats and a dog.

Horses

Our horse is called My Emilie, or more familiarly Emppu. She is a 16-year-old warmblood horse, a retired race horse (pacer). We have also a little pony called Eino.

Bunnies

We have three bunnies named Hilla, Apila and Tupuna.

Sheep

We have tree sheep called Susu-Unikko, Tiku and Taku. These are the Finnish names for Walt Disney´s Chip and Dale. Our sheep have a special skill; they know how to jump agility obstacles!

Chickens

We have five chickens named Muffini, Limppu, Mustikka, Piippi, Suklaa & Kuu and three roosters Tilli, Hattara & Torttu.

Cats

We also have two cats: Paavo and Nekku. Paavo is our most friendly cat and he usually comes to say hello to all our visitors.

Dog

The host has two dogs named Siru and Luna. Siru is a Belgian Shepherd and Luna is a Tibetan spaniel.
