Mules.
« on: March 31, 2019, 04:23:11 pm »
Seeing as we don't get much on here about mules, I thought I'd put on a picture of my new mule - Molly. She's 13.2hh, ride and drive, and I picked her up today. At the moment Molly, Ebony (my other mule) and Lady (the donkey) are trimming the lawn. Seemed a shame to waste all that fresh grass. There's been a bit of posturing and threatening with back legs between the 2 mules, but on the whole they seem to be getting on ok, considering they've only just met.

You might be better with a Mammoth donkey macgro. Large mules are rare. Unless Buttermilk wants to part with one of hers. :innocent:

I would have to breed a mammoth donkey with a large breed mare or import one probably.
They are super cool though

I no longer have my 16 hand mule unfortunately and Treacle is going nowhere.

Ebony (I'm guessing that it Ebony  :thinking: ) doesn't look too impressed with the handsome fella.

You're right Harmony! The green eyed monster kicked in fairly fast. She just acts like Molly doesn't exist. But she's very dignified about it. I'm sure they'll be best friends (eventually).
