10 CASEY

Molly
Year Born: 2012
16 HH Bay Grade, Not Registered
Casey is one mule I have really enjoyed. I bought her from
Arkansas in 2020 with a pair of mule teams, she was a package
deal. She is gorgeous as all get out and can walk like you wouldn’t
believe. Not only can she keep up in the group but she can also
slow down. I am a believer that mules are mules and horses are horses. I love
mules for what they can do better than horses and she is a prime example. I use
her on the ranch to help sort and move cattle for my cutting horses. As you can
see from my video I’m not much of a roper. She rides alone or with a group. I use
her to move cows, to check water and the broodmare band. I do about a pack trip
a month all year round and she is my go-to lead. She goes through water and over
bridges and logs and sets a good natural pace the rest of the mules can follow.
She isn’t too fast but not a plug you have to kick all the time either. I take her to
southern Utah in the winter and up in the high country all summer. She always
stands when saddling and packing as well as when you are getting
on and off. She has never pulled back and knows when she is
tied. She loads in anything. When I pack her, I always put her in
the back because she is a rare mule that will stop when the train
stops and doesn’t try to get in front of the other mules. She also
keeps up and doesn’t drag. I’ve tied her to the back of the chuck
wagon when we do wagon trains, and she does great. She isn’t a
buddy-sour mule and she always is fine to go by herself. I’ve never
had any problems with her soundness nor sickness. She holds
weight good and gets along with my other seven mules I put her in
pasture with. I shoe her in the summer when we go into the Wind
Rivers or Uintas but in the winter when we are down south her
feet are hard enough. I think her only down fall is that she isn’t the easiest to catch but if I catch the bell mare, she comes around pretty quick in the 5 acres they are in.
She is my favorite mule to ride because she doesn’t care if she is in front or behind or alone or with 20 head. She doesn’t trot and can walk with the walkers or the QH. In
all honesty, I haven’t had a mule that can trail ride so well with lots of different animals and situations. In my experience, you either have one that is too fast or too slow
or is afraid to get left behind. She is neither of those things which makes her my favorite trail mule. She does have a very old scar on her hind leg between the hock and
fetlock. Looks like she got caught in some wire. It’s never bothered her since I’ve known her and my longest day last year was 32 miles into Hawk’s Rest. This is a ranch
mule if I ever did own one. Call for more information.

11 BROWNING Grade, Not Registered

Brown
John
15.1 HH Year Born: 2014
Browning is a sharp-looking mule with a baby doll head. We have
owned him for almost two years and have hauled him all over in
that time. We have ranched and trail ridden on him as well as some
hunting trips. He has a smooth lope and a nice one-hand neck rein.
He is great about his ears and feet and always good to catch. There is no spook or
buck in this guy. He is always the same whether you ride once a year or every day.
He will stand tied patiently all day long and be ready to ride off alone or in a group.
Browning has been around dogs, four wheelers and is traffic safe. He is a friendly
mule, willing mule that would be enjoyable for any level rider.
