Pleasant simple gait
She has been there, done that
Annie is a special mule. Has seen so many different things in her riding career nothing seems to surprise or spook her. The best horse I ever owned I bought for my wife. She was 20 years old when I got her. She taught my wife more about equine safety than she would have ever learned from me. Annie reminds me of that old mare. I know what Annie is doing for my family and what she will do for yours. She opens opportunities for safe family fun.
I have had my 6 and 7 year old grandchildren ride her in the barn. We went to a mule show for Clarissa and Jilli to enter their first "fun competition". Guess who they rode. Now Grandpa doesn't want to be embarrassed by a runaway mule, but more importantly he doesn't want his riding partner scared off:) So Annie gets the call to action.
Annie has had extensive trail riding experience on private as well as organized rides. I have been riding her on my training grounds and she has not missed a step. Wild game doesn't bother her. Cattle she doesn't mind. Traffic no issue, she must have been around a lot of it in her time.
She has a "trail
neck rein" on her. She has developed a tough mouth over the years.
Here she is being used as the Ranch Mule most of the time. She is easy to mount and dismount so gait opening and turning water on and of is easy. She will pony the young colt with no effort. Rides into the heard of mares and young mules while check them without getting nervous. New experiences don't have much effect on her.
She is not just safe. SHE KEEPS YOU SAFE! I was ridding in the other day and she kind of slid off to the side of the strait line back to the barn. That was odd for her so I looked down and there was a 5 foot black snake slithering right down the trail. I wheeled her around, I like black snakes. I got off her 15 feet from the snake and dropped her lead rope to the ground and caught the snake while she looked on. After I got my hands on the snake, I turned around and headed for Annie. Well, she decided she had had enough of me or the snake, I don't know which, and she slowly walked away 50 yards. I caught up to her grazing with the snake raping it's self around my arm. Annie in one hand , snake in the other, we walked to the barn where I deposited the snake in the hay pile, snakes are great mousers. Annie smelled my hand, back in the saddle I went to run some more chores on her. She was fine. Now that is what I call a great mule.
Winter of 2007 produced a terrible Ice storm. No power for 12 days. Downed timber everywhere. Could not get a truck with hay to the pasture the heard was wintering in. Review photos of Annie assisting packing hay, carrying chain saws to the woods, ect.
Now no mule is perfect and neither is Annie. But if you can ride reasonably well, she can make trail riding very enjoyable.
