Solid Chestnut Molly with light points |

School Girl was born and raised here, out of one of our Walking Horse mares with a history of throwing mule babies with sensible minds, pretty faces and easy-to-ride, square gaits with a lot of drive from the back end. This frees up the shoulder for front end reach. These are the mechanics that make for the classic glide ride Tennessee Walkers are known for, and you can see on the videos how School Girl is no exception! Do you love the comfort of a smooth-gaited mount, but still want to enjoy the fun of a good lope or canter on command? If you are looking for a competitive trail or endurance prospect, or if you like to work with cattle, this family-friendly, doe eyed beauty will fulfill all your requirements, steal your heart AND make you look good doing whatever you decide to get up to!, too! |

Like all our top tier mules, School Girl’s level-headed, “been there, done that” attitude is the product of a lifetime of purposeful handling, cultivated experiences at the right developmental times, and real-life work. Nothing in the world builds work ethic in a young mule like having a job! This means you- as a rider- get a mule that’s got the working mind set of a partner, not a project. |

In any of her fun, Fun FUN signature gaits - dog walk, flat walk or running walk, she and her lucky rider just float on down the road! And then, there’s her rocking chair canter - like a cherry on top. It’s a genuine pleasure to ride - and that’s coming from a staff of folks who have spent a lot of good money to AVOID riding trotters and lopers! |

We require all our mules to learn the “Pick Me Up” maneuver- and swing over on command to pick their rider up off a mounting block, log or fence, so if you have to dismount on the trail, your mule can help you get back up. They also park out, AND are accustomed to standing still until cued for at least 45 seconds to give their rider time to safely get situated, find their stirrups, etc. Each mule also learns how to neck rein well, and back up quickly and fluidly. School Girl was such an eager, quick study, that’s how she got her name! Her responsive handle, gorgeous headset, Pick-Me-Up moves and sports car gaits will give you all the confidence you’All need to find your way to all kinds of new adventures! |

Over the course of her training, School Girl received a wide scope of training from a handful of our top trainers at an even wider scope of locations. The end result of our methods is predictable and lovely- this beautiful molly might look like a princess, but she handles the rough trails like a mountain goat and takes care of her rider. Water crossings, busy country roads, and agricultural area marketplaces are no big deal, so you can be confident in her saddle around traffic and rides with lots of other horses and mules. Being well seasoned to the ins and outs of life on a working farm and riding around all kinds of livestock, wildlife, dogs, kids, huge farm machinery - means each fun outing is all just another day at the office to her. Your comfort and safety is her JOB - and she takes her job seriously and has seen more and has more real life experience than many mules three times her age. She’s an old soul, wise and careful - the kind of mount that justifiably inspires confidence in her abilities, AND her motives. If you’re short on confidence, she can lend you some of hers! Even nervous riders feel safe with School Girl. |

Baby Jack is an absolute treasure - a GAITED large standard donkey that’s the perfect size for smaller adults or as a step-up for kids getting their own mount that they won’t outgrow. Tater’s also ready and able to keep up with other gaited riders. Baby Jack is a smooth-riding, confident, terrain-busting pocket pet that has a tremendous work ethic. Tricky footing won’t deter him, and careful downhill descents are his specialty - he takes his time, and watches where he puts those feet. He’s accustomed to a lot of different environments - country road riding, trails, rough terrain with NO trail - he’ll do it all and he’ll do it the same, consistently, day after day. Baby Jack has some speed to his gait - old timers call it a “donkey shuffle” but it’s really a slow rack, AND he’ll even canter. Baby Jack’s a comfortable ride at all speeds, has GREAT brakes, and no force on earth can convince him to do anything he considers unsafe - a useful safety feature to curb a wild child’s daredevil streak. |

Baby Jack has no agenda - he likes to be out, but he’s in no hurry. His people-pleasing, “best buddy” attitude isn’t just on the ground, but under saddle, too. He’s an easy guy to trust. Baby Jack is laid back enough to not mind being left behind if others take off at a run - but he’ll run along, if you want! Baby Jack’s also happy to chill out while you enjoy a chat with your friends. Spooks arent’t an issue - he’s a donkey, after all, plus he’s got all the kid, dog and saddlebag carrying experience and has probably seen every kind of road or farm equipment ever made. He even has a little trail neck rein. |
