Eye Appeal and Style —

While not terms you typically associate with a Mule - which is a cross between a Horse and a Donkey - this Spotted Mule has those visual traits in spades.

🧵 2 of 8

English or Western —

This Spotted Mule is incredibly unique in his versatility - ride him English or ride him Western; he’s adept at both.

🧵 3 of 8

Salt and Pepper —

This Spotted Mule traces his unique appearance to an Appaloosa lineage; a line of horses selectively bred by the Nez Perce Tribe in the Palouse Region of the Pacific Northwest - with those horses selected over centuries for speed, endurance, intelligence, and the trademark spotted or mottled patterns.

Willing and Ready —

Still right in his prime at 8 years old, his experience surpasses his years, as he has traveled across the country for parades, ranch rodeos, and trail rides.

Steady and Kind —

His Auction Ad paints the picture well:

‘Steady and kind with a heart of gold and eager to please personality. The very first to greet you rain or shine and absolutely adores attention!

Gentle to handle on the ground and absolutely zero funny business. Stands like a statue to groom, saddle, trim, and clip. Leads and loads like a dream, gets along with everybody; horses, dogs, cats, children.’

“Ranch” the Spotted Mule —

Thank you to Jordon Brown for allowing me to post this showstopper, who I bet will ring the bell as his Auction closes;

For a Mule who looks and acts the part, with uncommon flair and elegance, you will be hard pressed to find one better.
