26 MELANIA

Molly
Black
15.3 HH Year Born: 2014 Grade, Not Registered
Melania is an elegant 15.3HH, 8-year-old, black Molly mule. No
one has met Melania that hasn’t commented about her looks and
beauty, but she also has the brains, temperament and rideability
to go with it. When you go out to the pasture, she is the first one
to meet you at the gate to put the halter on. If you bypass her and go to another
mule, she is following along wanting your attention. Melania has been ridden by
rank beginners in lessons to experienced competitors and everyone in between.
Her jog and lope are perfect to learn on, and she is my go-to mule to teach a rider
to lope on. She moves forward easily when asked, but is quiet and smooth in
everything she does. Those same attributes that make her great to learn on, also
get her noticed in the show pen. She has big, sweeping gaits and her stocking legs
get her noticed every time. She recently competed at the Dixie National Livestock
Show and Rodeo with a professional and a youth rider. She competed in Youth
Showmanship, Open and Youth Hunter Under Saddle, Youth Equitation, Western
Pleasure, Trail, Reining and Ranch Riding. Melania neck reins, rides off the leg and
seat, rides with a direct rein, backs, side passes, and has nice slow spins. Melania
is not limited to the arena. She is excellent trail riding and has been to Colorado
elk hunting. She is sure footed and confident on the roughest terrain. She crosses
logs, ditches, creeks, and goes up and down banks with ease. You can pack saddle
bags and guns with no concerns. She also stands quietly for someone to mount
from anything including logs, rocks, mounting blocks, and more! Melania has been
on overnight and week-long camping trips and ties well on the high line at camp.
She is excellent to shoe, stands for clipping and bathing, and loads and unloads
easily. If you’re looking for a fancy, all around mule, be sure to check out Melania! Call or text or more information.

believe. He is a character and knows it. This John mule is very
athletic and will do whatever you ask. He is very willing to try new
things. You can ride or pack Gus. It is amazing how many things you can do with
this young mule. Gus has a very nice walk, trot and canter. He lopes circles with
ease. He rides soft in the bridle, moves off the leg and listens to the next cue. He
will roll back off the fence nice. Gus will back around an obstacle as easy as riding
forward. He is smart and willing and would make a great jumping mule. You can
carry a flag, shoot a gun, cover him with a tarp, and drag a sled or log. He handles
a rope well. Gus loves to go on a trail ride. Gus will stand there and wait for you
to get on him. Clipping, bathing, shoeing and hauling
