In case you dont reallly know me- I really love my animals! Poeple think its unusual that I love mules( a cross between a donkey and a horse) so much! I grew up riding Quarter horse s and competing in Jr/ High Schol Rodeo, but when i moved back home I got into mules. My daddy has always ahd them and I used to be so embarrased about that! But since early 2003 i am hooked! They are very intelligent animals. The one I have now are Kate and Izzy. Kate is 16.2 hands tall which is a pretty good size for riding mule! Her mom was a TN walker, and her daddy a gaited jack. I ahve owned her for two years and I love her very much, she is like a 900 lb dog! Izzy i s my other mule, he rmom was a Quarter horse and her dad was a jack. I have had her since she was 2, now she is 5. She is wonderful, not as loving as Kate but very smart and gentle enough my little nephews and neice can ride her! We just sold my palomino paint mare picture above last fal she was abslolutely beautiful, but a handful to maintian, she has a really good home now. Scout is our youngest, he will be three this year. Steve raised him. His mother belongs to Steves brother, Matt. He is a little guy never grew very tall but he is really gentle and we hope to break him to work behind a buggy this fall! So yep Im animal crazy lol but I do know my limits, cant afford to have too many you know!!!
