If you’re looking for that hard-to-find mule that can do it all, meet Melvin. This 8-year-old sorrel mule stands 14.3 hands tall and has been with us for the past four years. He is the kind that only comes around once in a lifetime.

Melvin is primarily a trail mule and has countless miles under his belt. He is sure-footed, level-headed, and confident on any trail. Steep hills, rough terrain, creek crossings, rocky ground—he takes it all in stride. He will even rock climb through tough country and carefully pick his way through places that many horses wouldn’t think about going. If you enjoy trail riding and exploring challenging terrain, Melvin is your guy.

Melvin is also gaited, making him exceptionally smooth and comfortable to ride on long days in the saddle. Whether you’re taking a short ride or covering miles on the trail, he is a pleasure to ride.

This is a mule that is great for beginners and riders of any skill level. Whether you’re looking for a dependable trail partner, a hunting mule, or an all-around family mule, Melvin fits the bill. He has been hunted off of, is comfortable around gunfire, and doesn’t get rattled by the things that bother most animals.

He will lope nice circles and is always willing to do whatever job is asked of him. Melvin stands tied quietly all day long, loads and unloads easily, clips, bathes, trims, and shoes without issue. He picks up all four feet, is easy to catch, and is a pleasure to handle.

He has no buck, rear, kick, or bite and is gentle around his ears and face. In the pasture, he gets along great with other horses and mules and is easy to keep in a mixed herd.

Melvin is the same dependable mule every time you saddle him. Honest, willing, safe, and versatile, he is the kind of mule that is hard to replace.
