| October 2008 brought us a new 
				adventure. We adopted three Miniatures. A mother and son and 
				their companion donkey. The little man named Lucky was a Dwarf 
				and noticeably crippled and deformed. He was renamed Dobby, and 
				his mother Ladybug, and "uncle" Jingles came to live on the 
				farm. Little did we know of the adventures that we were about to 
				embark upon. The Mini world is totally different than the 
				regular horse world and having a Dwarf is a daily challenge. 
				Follow along with us and on Dobby's own page, to see how we 
				learned a whole new aspect of horses. 
				The little group was temporarily housed in 
				the main barn, however, as Jingles voiced his opinion on a 
				regular basis, it became obvious that the permanent residents of 
				the barn were not enthused with the new residents and noise 
				levels. The only solution was to build a new facility for the 
				trio. The "Little House" was created for three but then it 
				became obvious that only two would be in residence. Dobby was 
				having problems and needed constant monitoring. |
