A new mule has come into my life finally. She is a wonderful 6 year old 16H molly mule out of a Tennessee Walker mare. I am hoping she will share my passion for distance riding.

Life with a Mule
My farrier came today to put shoes on Marie and trim Louie. Louie's tough mulie feet are doing fine barefoot at this point. Scott showed up around 9:15 or so. The first thing Louie had to do was show him his neat fetching trick. Scott was quite amused by that. About the third throw, Louie decided to return the toy to Scott. But, when Scott reached out to take it, Louie chickened out, dropped the toy and ran off.
I caught Marie and put her on the cross ties. Louie was such a bug! He was just dying for attention. Just as Scott was getting done with Marie, Louie had a total spazz out spell and started tearing around the paddock at warp speed. He ran for quite a while and it was quite a show. And Scott was especially impressed with the mud Louie spattered on his truck. What a goof ball Louie is. He was a good boy for his trim though.
