Whats your thought on a mule?

Drafty1 · 11-16-2004, 11:45 AM

My friend went to an auction and brought home a mule. I don't know why I like her but I do and I can get her at a really good price. She is about 15.2-15.3 h, not sure on her age or her training. She needs a bit more weight and she is alittle stand off-ish. Like I said, I really don't know why I like her. Maybe just jonesing for something new.

Anyones thoughts on a mule?

I say go for it. That would be fun and they are very athletic. Heck if it doesn't work out you can always sell her!

I love mules. They are so cute and such hardy little creatures. If I was you I would go for it.

Post some pics if you have any.

Mules are great. The barn owner has some and just loves them. Great for the trails.

Its the ears.. you can never resist the ears, we have friends with pony mules and larger mules, they are always so much fun.. they are so intelligent.. and I love the ones with floppy ears.

Mules are actually very versatile and usually really great! We had one at our therapeutic stables that was the main horse we used for the kids until she had to be put down. The kids all loved her though, there's just somehting about those cute faces and adorable ears I think!

oh my goodness! I think mules are the most adorable things! Eventually, I'm sure I will buy one to add to my equine collection of horses, ponies, donkeys and the zorse I am planning one having! Lol..Just kidding, but I would love to get a mule! I knew two draft mules named Jack and Jill..oh my word, they were only 16 hands but were HUGE..they were the cutest little(haha, right) things in the world!

I'm going to see if she rides on Friday and check her teeth. I'll let you know how it goes.
