Now to make it more compli- cated, the horse, nearly six weeks old, doesn’t even realize she’s a horse. Meet Michelle Queen and B.B. B.B., an Arabian paint, was born on April 29 after a hard pregnancy for her mother, Cricket. Cricket, who Queen and her mother, Angela Clark Davis, raised from a day old, suffered from colic late in the pregnancy. A week and a half before B.B.’s birth, Queen and her family spent hours upon hours walking the mother around, hoping that her in- testines hadn't twisted and that she would recover. She did, according to Davis, but it was still too much. “There was so much stress with the colic and having a ba- by - a lot of stress - and every- thing just went down hill,” Davis said. Eight days later Cricket died, leaving behind a week-old filly and a heartbroken family. With few other options, Queen, a West Lincoln High School student, stepped into the role of mother, bottle feeding B.B. - short for ‘Bottle Baby’ - a special formula every two hours for the first two weeks. The frequency has slowed down to every three to four hours now, but the bottle feed- ings will continue for another three months. B.B. gets her last bottle around 11:30 p.m. and is old enough now that she can make it through the night until Davis rises to feed her at six. If Michelle's gone, her little sister, Kacie, pitches in to help. Though the family considers SERVICE BRIEFS Pendleton completes Army basic training Army National Guard Pfc. Robert S. Pendleton has gradu- ated from basic military train- ing at Fort Leonard Wood, Waynesville, MO. Pendletonis the son of Robbin M. and Steve R. Lynch of Kings Mountain: He is a 2000 graduate of Kings Mountain High School. During the training, Pendleton received instruction in drill and ceremonies, weapons, map reading, tactics, military courtesy, military jus- tice, physical fitness, first aid, and Army history and tradition. Watson deployed to Mediterranean Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Huel C. Watson, son of Frances C. Engle of Grover and Huel W. Watson of Tallahassee, FL, re- cently departed ona six-month deployment to the matter who you are, the loss of Cricket a tragedy, Davis does believe it has taught her daughters an important les- son. “It taught both of them a lot about responsibility and moth- erhood and the requirements of being dedicated to something,” said Davis. Queen agrees. “It taught me a lot of responsi- bility as far as parenting be- cause she’s like a little baby,” she said. “I have to come out here and feed her every two to four hours and brush her and clean up after her.” Soon, Queen will begin train- ing B.B. to respond to a halter and lead. It will be two years, though, before she is ready to be ridden. Queen is looking forward to it, though. She already has more experience than most kids her age. Of the 20 or so horses the family owns, Queen has broke and trained four. She al- so trained one of the family’s miniature horses to draw a cart. For the past five years Queen, a straight-A student and Future Business Leaders of America secretary, has placed while showing horses at the Cleveland County Fair. Last year she won grand champion mare with one of the miniature horses. “It’s mainly a big hobby of mine,” said Queen, who hopes one day to get involved in bar- rel racing. According to her mother, it’s a hobby Queen is well-suited to. “Michelle has a natural ability with them. She can make one work for her when nobody can,” said Davis. “The only drawback I think she’s had is that she can get hurt - they're bigger than you are and she seems to forget about that.” Someday B.B., too, will tower above Queen, but for now the duo is content to spend their days together.

MICHELLE QUEEN AND B.B. “The only bad part about it is she doesn’t know she’s a horse. She won't have anything to do with the other horses - she runs from them,” said Queen. “But I can sit down on the ground and she’ll come up and lay her head in my lap and go to sleep.” No, said Davis, that’s not nor- mal, but that’s to be expected. “As far as acting like a normal horse, she’s not going to act like Camp, a 2000 graduate of Kings Mountain High School, successfully completed 12 weeks of training designed to challenge new Marine recruits both physically and mentally. Camp and fellow recruits be- gan their training at 5 a.m. by running three miles and per- forming calisthenics.
