Memories.. an Encore Post
It has snowed again here on the farm,
and we are holding our breaths, hoping that Spring is following soon.
(The only one happy with the white stuff, though beautiful, is Sadie!)
I can't write another post about snowy days, so instead, I am going to
share a very old post with you...
(from almost 4 years ago...so if you are new to my blog, you will have never seen this)
About 4 years ago, our first mini horse, Ollie, came to live on the farm.

Here is a trip down memory lane....
New Arrival
(Encore Post From June, 2009)
Today is quite a special day....
from a very sad situation some good has come to Bee Haven Acres.
Meet our newest addition:
Oliver Twist
He is 3 1/2 weeks old and very tiny.
Unfortunately, his Mama developed a bad neurologic condition
and she was unable to take care of him.
She passed away this morning, leaving her little boy in need of a home.
Doctor Becky has been caring for the mother and offered the owner
a home for the foal here at Bee Haven Acres.
So, we loaded him into the truck
and brought him home (in a dog crate on the back seat) this morning.
After settling into his new stall, he introduced himself to his new barn friends.
Needless to say, there is much excitement in the barn right now!
*This photo was taken before Dr. Becky had built her own barn,
so her horses were still here at our barn.
*****************************************************************
It was touch and go for the first week Ollie was with us.
He refused the milk replacer feed,
and would only eat the regular horse feed and hay.
We feared he would starve.
He grew slowly, but eventually caught up.
A couple of months later, we decided he needed a friend his own size,
and so we purchased his half brother, Red.
The two have been inseparable ever since!
It's hard to believe that these boys are going to be 4 years old this summer!

A Boy, A Ball, A Whole Lot Of Fun
What is it about little boys and balls? It must be genetic...even amongst the animal kingdom! I found an exercise ball and blew it up for the "Littles". Each morning, when they go out to the dry lot or the pasture, they run and play...
