1109.0. "Riding Mules" by AIMHI::DANIELS () Fri Oct 27 1989 14:25

    Does anyone out there do anything with riding mules?
    
    I have read a little bit about them, and saw some at the Kentucky Horse
    Park.  I think they would make nice trail animals, especially (from
    what I understand) they aren't as flighty as a horse, and also won't
    drink or eat while they are hot after riding - so they don't founder or
    colic (from that reason at least).
    
    Does anyone sell them in the New England area?

1109.1Mule Shows in New EnglandDUGGAN::FAYGET YOUR FUNK UPWed Nov 01 1989 11:5310
    Alot of people do ride mules, and from what I have heard
    they make great jumpers, and are also good for Fox hunting.
    
    New England does have Mule Shows.  I have a friend who
    has just begun breeding them, and she really sings their
    praises. I know she's involved with the New England Association
    for Mules.  I can give you her number if you'd like, just
    send me some mail.
