18 JP Dun & White Paint Grade

John
15.1 HH Year Born: 2011
JP is a big, strapping, ruggedly handsome dun, white paint john
mule. He stands 15.1 HH and weighs 1237 lbs. He is 12 years old.
He has perfect conformation, good thick bone structure, great
muscle tone & his color is so cool. He is a completely finished
driving, riding and pack mule. He has been living with his sister, Lil his whole life.
At home or when traveling, they are easy to handle. They catch, stand tied, eat
and drink good, are well behaved, load, haul, and make owning them a breeze. JP
and Lil have been driven all over the country and have been hooked to fore carts,
pleasure wagons, buggies, farm implements and more. They have been driven in
multiple parades, on long overnight wagon rides and also have been used to haul
guests on the ranch. No flashing lights, noisy music, or people jumping on and
off your wagon will rattle them. They always hold their composure in the toughest
of settings. They really shine, even in a 3-up setting, when we put a green mule in
the middle of them. They hold their ground like big oak trees. As far as his riding
career goes, JP is a good, steady mount. He walks out great on the trails, trudging
thru bogs, briars, and deadfall. It is no problem aboard him. He will lead the way or
is happy to ride in the middle or back of the group. We have used him here on the
ranch for all types of tasks, both riding and driving. Though he prefers riding along
with Lil, he is willing to ride out alone without her or along with other riders. We
have led him in a pack string and used him to lead a pack string. He and Lil would
be ideal to switch and use either way. In summary, a new buyer would be getting a
3 for 1 package deal with JP. You can’t go wrong with that. Please feel free to come
to Texas and test drive him here on the ranch before the sale. We have great places
to try him on the trails, obstacles and an arena, too. We will arrive a little early in
Utah, so prospective buyers can ask to try him before the sale, on the trails near
Tropic during Bryce Canyon Mule Days. If you would like more info, pics or videos,
call Jennifer.
