t 2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, April 11,1990 Section Two Hands AOTS Presents Variety Night Barbara Klawitter has had her hands full with the newest arrival at her Cedar Stone Farm in Maple Grove. Annie was rejected by her mother, Brocade Labelle, and Barbara has been serving as the filly's surrogate mother. Luckily for Barbara, Brocade has more recently began to accept her newborn foal. by Loma Miller . The beautiful, week-old foal, Annie, was rejected by her mom, Brocade Labelle when she was born. Barbara Klawitter, coowner coowner of Cedar Stone Farm, in Maple Grove, says that she had stayed with the expectant expectant mare most of the night Annie was bom. When Annie made her appearance, around 3 a.m.', Barbara thought her vigil was over. However, this was not to be. "I had the feeling that something was not just right after I left the bam," says Barbara. "So I went back out and found Brocade kicking kicking and biting Annie. She was trying to kill her." While this is not unique among horses, it is rare. "Brocade is a big mare, and the foal was large, so I was keeping an eye on her, but I never expected this to happen." happen." Barbara, her husband, and her partner, Nelson Crawford, had to organize shifts to feed and care for their little orphan. "Sometimes, it takes up to six or seven days before a mare will accept a foal," says Barbara, "but Brocade The Courtice Medical Clinic is pleased to announce that DR. HOWARD WONG, B.Sc., m.d.

Little Annie has apparently apparently accepted human surrogates surrogates for her mom. She is growing just beautifully and sports two new teeth which she uses to nibble on jackets and taste fingers. The unusual unusual complications following her birth have made her very friendly and, if the truth be known, she loves all this special attention she is receiving. Cedar Stone Farm has 22 horses at the moment, 11 of them racers. During a visit to the farm last month, a commotion erupted from the box stalls where Brocade and Annie were housed. Barbara immediately returns returns to the stall where little little Annie is trying to nurse, but Brocade has taken offense offense to the young filly again and is stomping threateningly, ears back. Barbara separates the foal and ties Brocade to the stall. "I don't know when this will end," she sighs. "We'll just have to stay with Brocade Brocade until she settles down." Annie, who will receive her registered name later in life, prances around happily ignoring her mother and looking for pats from the caring humans she has accepted accepted as her parents.

In the second skit, the lighthouse keeper, George Tufford, and his matronly wife, Lloyd Kellogg with daughter Rov McHolm, were permet in this skit played like an old fashioned movie with actors not speaking and Tom Wilson narrating.
