Roy Brown, Ruth Brown, and a pony named Babe posing together.

Pictured are Roy Brown, Babe and Ruth Brown. Roy won Babe selling subscriptions for Webb Publishing Company鈥檚 publication Farmer Magazine. Babe pulled a small buggy for the children and entertained them and their friends for many years. Babe lived for over 30 years. Many horses, once they die, ended up as lap-robes or blankets. The South Dakota Agricultural Heritage Museum has both Babe鈥檚 hide robe and the buggy.
