Anne Norris shared these great photos from her family of Beebe Ranch with us! They were taken by Anne's grandfather Woody Hopps during the early 1950s. It was well before Misty returned to Beebe Ranch. The black pinto adult pony is Maureen Beebe's pony Nancy. She won several pony races on Nancy. It looks like Paul may be the one about to lead the girls on a pony ride on Nancy. But it's hard to tell. The foal the family is posing with was one of the ranch's foals that year. Perhaps sired by Pied Piper? Looks a bit like the stallion, but we'll never know. Thank you to Anne for sharing these precious photos with us!

"I remember being in Grandma Beebes kitchen. My parents read us the book. We were beach traveling from Pittsburgh. I think we just went and knocked at the door. I put a piece of candy for Misty on the stool and she stepped on it." Thanks for sharing it with us Joe!  |
