Oly Farms We started our journey with Clydesdales in 2009. We have since gathered a few more animals and want to share our interest with you!

Come on out and get some hands on experience with animals! Most times we also have a Clydesdale available for rides! Hours will be posted weekly on page.

Fatty Patty made the Agri News!! If anybody has a copy and could save it for me that would be great. This is one that we don't get.

Lena Olson’s love for animals is in her DNA.

This kitten likes to snuggle with the laying guinea hens.  They aren't thrilled about it.

Update on Marvin......
He gets his next treatment tomorrow morning and 🙏🏼THANK YOU🙏🏼 all so much because you have covered the cost of tomorrow's treatment!!! I cried....we have had such a tough time with everything lately and we are just strained in every way and things keep happening and these vet bills are ginormous this year. God doesn't give us anything we can't handle, right? We just keep trying to march on! I think we do see improvement, out vet will access that tomorrow in the morning.

Let’s just say that the past couple weeks have been a rollercoaster here on the farm and we are exhausted…..We saved some, lost one, and are treating Marvin, the new Clydesdale, with our equine vet and he would love your prayers and support. He ended up at Purdue University for a few days for multiple tests to find out what was wrong with him. I went out to do chores, and he was coughing, had a temp, and was wobbly on his back legs. While some tests came back negative, we finally had our answer after doing more tests and a spinal tap. Marvin has pneumonia and also contracted EPM (Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis). This is why we DO NOT like opossums!!! This attacks their nervous system and can be awful to watch. However, in catching this in the early stages, the prognosis for a full recovery is much better. I have had a few people ask how they can help, and honestly, I have things under control in the barn at the moment, except the finances, because this has now cost thousands, and we weren’t ready for all that right after purchasing him, but we just want Marvin to get better. He will hopefully have 2 or 3 more treatments, and we will re-evaluate his condition with our vet.

Here is a pic of Marvin while he was at Purdue University. I have his story in a previous post. He was wearing a sling incase he went down because of his imbalance caused by the EPM (as you can see) so they could get him back up. He got such good care while he was there! Please keep praying for Marvin and please share! If you are interested in helping Marvin, we have:

We are super close to being able to open on the farm for the season!!! We had 2 vet emergencies this past week, so as I was keeping an eye on them as I was working ALOT in the barn. We still have a lot to do, but I can do that and be open at the same time. We shall keep you posted as soon as we are good to go and we will post some hours!

Marvin is settling in nicely....Klever our 4 year old stallion loves him and goes crazy when I take one or the other out of the barn 😂. Marvin came from Canada, so the adjustment to Illinois weather hasn't been too bad for him, but it was super cold up there when he headed down this way.
