Becks Circus Farm Features Midget Mules and Remodeled Home
The Beck family travels with a unique trio of midget mules and Palomino horses on their California farm. They plan to surround grounds with white stock fencing after Spring floods, remodel the old house, and build a corral. Mrs Beck teaches piano and collects circus music while daughter Juanita Brabant Beck plays a calliope at home attracting neighbors. The family owns Belgians Blaze Glory and Flash with a Belgian Palomino cross Fire, and a Shetland named Twinkle. A calliope purchased in 1947 from Ringling Brothers is key, now modernized to run on compressed air, keeping music vibrant for the circus life.
