A friend mentioned I needed some pictures of my mules in my blog. I can do that. :) I currently have three of the most solid saddle mules, I've had these for quite a while now. A huge step for me changing from high powered cutting horses to mules. I wasn't sure to begin with.

I mean MULES?????

Patti is my very first mule. She is probably the smoothest animal I've every ridden. At about 26 years old she has many good year left I can ride her. Most of the time now whe gets to tag along as I am transitioning to Millie, my 15 year old mule.

Pattie and Millie waiting for me to mount up and head out.

Here I am making a circle in the arena before trying all three on the trail. Millie and I in front, followed up by Fritz the wonder mule, with Pattie bringing up the rear giving Fritz plenty of space. Fritz is currently being used by a very good friend at work to full fill a dream. Being able to go trail riding on a good mule. Fritz likes her best now, she brings him carrots.

If you ever get a chance to meet a good mule, please do so. If we ever meet on a trail I would be glad to introduce you to Pattie, Millie, and Fritz

A special thanks to Bill Holmes of Maple Valley Mules for fine tuning these three for me this year. They had enjoyed a couple years off and Bill made sure they were back where I needed them.
