Half Mule ;-)

Mule360 · 04-08-2008, 11:13 PM

I had to take Jose to the vet this afternoon because he had an eye tearing pretty badly (turns out he scratched it, but nothing ointment twice a day can't fix). The vet I use owns and takes care of lots of cutting horses and other performance type equine. Needless to say, there are lot of big, expensive trailers in line along side my little three horse.

As always, I'm the only gal with a mule anywhere around. Jose is being very patient, but he does bray occasionally when he sees a red horse (thinks it may be his pasture buddy, Nick). A lady emerges from the barn with a super cute red and white pony, stops and looks at Jose. She says, "Is that half mule?" I say, "Nope, he's full mule." And, off she goes with the little pony.

Too funny!

Brad's cousin was ridding with us out in the country when we passed a mule in pasture.... She then turned to us and said "Hey, that mule looks part horse! Sad part is, she was raised with horses her whole life... Just a big blonde moment I guess

I find that owning and riding a mule brings many, many amusing moments. Some frustrating moments, but never boring. Half mule is one I haven't encountered before today.

Sometimes my molly mule has a little trouble keeping a svelte figure. Somebody (a horse person of course

) stopped by our place and asked if she was expecting! Um.......................No.

I was telling my Da about the mule that gave birth after being bred by a donkey, and he asked what the baby looked like..I said like a 1/4 horse with a straight face and he thought I meant a quarter horse, until he got it...

priceless
