Q & A

Can the reindeer pull the sleigh? YES!! Our reindeer are trained to pull sleighs. These are antique sleighs which we import. Our sleighs are tastefully decorated.

Are reindeer happy in public places? Like most animals reindeer can be trained. In Northern Sweden for example reindeer have been trained to work with man, pulling sleighs for hundreds of years. Our handlers ensure that the reindeer are well catered for, that they are comfortable and happy.

Are reindeer used to people? At the Animal Company we work on a full time basis with our animals, which means that we are able to spend every week in October re-training our reindeer and getting them ready for the Christmas period. They are handled daily and get very used to human interaction.

Can reindeer be dangerous? Although reindeer are not usually aggressive, males can stay in the rut into November. This is why we only use castrated males and females. We also provide risk assessments instructing our clients of what is needed for each event.

Who organises the licences? The Animal Company organise all movement licences and insurances on your behalf. We are also members of ACTA.

How long can we have the reindeer? We have a performing animals licence for up to 6 hours. However, our animals work for 4 hour slots. Reindeer get bored after about 3.5 hours on a display.

What about E-Coli? We can supply hand washing stations at an extra cost. Customers are advised to provide some for of water hand washing.

Our reindeer live all year round in Ashbourne in “The Peak District”. “Being in this region we know that the reindeer are very happy, as they have hills and plenty of space to run around in” Said Nathan. “Our reindeer get Ten months off a year! When they do go out to visit children at Christmas, we always make sure that the never work consecutive days, or more than three days a week. That way they are well rested, happy animals”.
