Palomino
John
14.3 HH Year Born: 2014
Doey is an exceptional Palomino John Mule. There is no need to
ride him regularly to have a good experience using him for work or
leisure. I have let him stand in the pasture for two months, threw a
saddle on in the middle of a snow storm, stepped on and gathered
cattle in the forest with no issues. He has been ridden around by kids, used to
gather cattle, used to rope in the branding pen and trail ridden countless miles in
the desert and mountains of Oregon and Idaho. He is the perfect size at just under
15 HH and has plenty of substance and bone to carry a heavy rider as far as you
want to go. Doey is sure footed and confident and will cross water, bridges, down
trees and rocky terrain without hesitation. He is a steady mule who does not fool
around but he does enjoy trail rides and is a pleasure to ride. He is broke and
in the bridle and has a good rein on him. He will spin a hole in the ground, side
passes with ease, lopes nice circles and will sit down and stop. He is patient and careful when opening and closing gates
and negotiating tricky obstacles. In addition, he is friendly and always easy to catch. He rides out alone with absolutely
no issues and does just as well in a group. He is happy in a stall or in the pasture, easy to shoe, good around dogs, and
good about handling his ears. Doey would be an asset to any working ranch but would also be a great mule for a casual
trail rider. He is the solid built, well broke, fancy colored, perfect size, no nonsense mule everyone is looking for, and he is
just 9 years old. We would be happy to show him to you here at our ranch before sale week or come take him for a spin
at Bryce Canyon Mule Days. He is up to date on hoof care, vaccinations, deworming and dental care. We’d love to tell you
more about him. Call Pam or Matt or drop us an email at fourniertraining@gmail.com.

16 WB’S VIZIATA AMA #4470

Molly
Bay
15.3 HH Year Born: 2015
Vizzy is a 15.3 HH, 6-year-old, gorgeous bay mare mule. She was
foaled on 05/07/2015, by an Invitation Only mare and was sired
by an unregistered son of Sycamore Springs Jake. Her breeding
is impeccable. Her mother’s sire was Innovation Only, who was a
son of Invitation Only. He was the AQHA’s Leading Sire of 210 World Champion-
ships, Congress Championships and Reserve Championships. He was 2008 NSBA
Hall of Fame Inductee, #1 AQHA All Time Leading Sire of ROM Earners, #1 AQHA
All Time Leading Sire of Point Earners, AQHA Leading Sire 8 years in a Row, All
Time Leading Sire of Money Earners, All Time Leading Sire of Western Pleasure
Earnings, and All Time Leading Sire of NSBA Money Earnings. In 2005, he sold for
$2.35 million dollars to Mike Farina. He was a very special horse. Vizzy’s dam and
sire were also nice in their own right. Her sire was an unregistered jack, but a good
one. Vizzy was born, raised and started in her training by a trainer named Casey Marcum. She
was started under saddle as a 2-year-old. Casey told me that he had done all the training on
her, and that she was his personal mule for some time. He had taken her to some mule shows
and thru some trail courses in his area. He told me he had also hauled her to various locations
and trail rode on her as well. While here at our place, she has been ridden in the arena, been
rode extensively on the trails here on the ranch, been rode in parades, hauled and used at
mule shows and hauled to other locations for big trail rides. While Vizzy has been rode mostly
western, we truly feel she would also excel in disciplines such as western pleasure, dressage,
jumping and other english events. She has gorgeous cadence about her. She is a big mover,
but still very smooth in her transition of gaits. She will walk, trot and lope upon cues. Her
headset is to die for. She has the most endearing personality and aims to please in every way.
She loves to be pampered. That is why we named her Viziata. It means pampered/spoiled in
Italian. Her ground manners are the best and she is absolutely safe to be around and handle.
Anyone can catch, bridle, saddle, clip, bath, lead, load, shoe and ride her with the greatest
of ease. We have put all our efforts and additional training into her, so that she will be a well-rounded mule that anyone will be proud to own and can use. We stand
behind her 100 percent. You don’t want to miss out on this special mule. Feel free to come try her here at the ranch in Texas or prior to the sale in Utah. For more
details, pictures or videos, feel free to contact Jennifer.
