We have owned Mabel for 5 years. She has been camping, ridden on the beach, in the mountains. Shown, ridden in parades.
She is a big girl, but not drafty. Very sure footed in rough country. Shoes, Up to date on shots and coggins.
She does have a gliding gait, but will trot and canter as well, although walking is her preferred gait. She does obstacles as shown in the video. Ridden in traffic and with dogs. My husband recently got a horse and I need a more practical size mule for my friends and I. Only reason she is available. We were told she was broke to harness but have never hooked her, so no idea! She has a nice wither and back so saddles of all kinds stay put. Even down steep hills. Mabel has attended Ty Evans Mulemanship clinics in ground work and under saddle.
