16 BODEE Grade

John
Sorrel
14.1 HH Year Born: 2016
Bodee is excellent in the trail, loves working cattle and is pretty,
stout and handy enough to take you wherever you want to go. He’s
been ridden in the Arizona desert, Montana Mountains and forests
of the Midwest. He will catch you in the field and follow you around. When you
get in the barn, he’s good to groom, wash and handle his feet. He stands patiently
to saddle, bridle, and easily moves to a mounting block or a stump in a field to
make it easier for you to get on. Once you’re mounted, he stands until you cue him
to walk off. On the trail, Bodee is confident and experienced. He goes up, down,
over and through whatever you point him at. He handles rough steep areas like a
mountain goat. He doesn’t rush and willingly crosses logs, bridges, rocks and al-
ways enjoys a trip through the creek. We’ve ridden him with dogs and encountered
lots of birds, ducks deer and more, and he’s been surefooted and solid. He rides
great in a group and is content riding out by himself. He hops right in the trailer
and hauls wonderfully. Bodee is well trained and controllable. He is responsive
to both leg and hand cues. He guides with the lightest neckrein and stops and
backs just using your seat and legs. He has a nice comfortable walk and trot and
willingly steps right up into a collected smooth canter. He sidepasses and backs
flawlessly. He’s experienced with bouncy balls, tarps, machinery, traffic, guns and
much more. We’ve ridden him around the neighborhood with 4-wheelers, joggers,
wagons, etc. and he handles it all like a pro. He lays down, carries a flag, walks
over tarps and you can bounce a ball off him! On the ranch, he’s moved cattle,
roped the dummy, opened and closed lots of gates and been in all types of terrain.
He definitely knows how to do a day’s work. Bodee is a fun mule to take you on a
mountain trail adventure, do a job on the ranch and just have a good time playing
around in the arena and doing fun tricks. Bodee is a mule for the family to have a
lifetime of happy trails!
