I am loving the mule. I'm a mule person, so I particularly love this one.

They are very popular in part of Wyoming that I visit often- I get loads of photos to work from at their mule festival!

That's very cool! I live way down in southern Louisiana, and I've noticed Tennessee Walkers are incredibly popular down here. I have always wanted a mule, but I've not had the opportunity to own one.

TWs are real sweeties- All of them I have known were very gentle & affectionate.
I'm currently in southern Alabama- lots of quarter horses, Arabians & hunter/jumper types around here. Mules here are mostly seen hauling Mardi Gras floats-

Thanks! Yeah, they are not the great beauties of the equine world, but I lot of things would never get done with out them- I think of them as blue-collar equines -
