What a pretty girl.

I've never spent much time around mules, but have seen some that are amazing...can do cutting, reining, jumping, just about anything. I've always figured it takes the right personality to get along with mules...I think if you are suspicious of them, better not fool with 'em. They are smarter than horses in a lot of ways.

I've got some mule owner friends who you couldn't give a good horse to.

Thank you. She is pretty as can be, but the most important thing is that she's kind and will do anything for me. She's a smooth mover and jumps beautifully out of her stride - very comfortable to jump.

I have plowed with my great-aunt's span of mules - Snowball and Burr-Baby. I got along fine with them, but I think they're ugly and they know it. That's not the foundation for a good relationship. :-D

Mules will last a lot longer in hard country, like say Baja California.....
