Turbo – SOLD

0 out of 5

Turbo is one of the friendliest mules you’ll ever meet. He has a puppy dog personality and is more disappointed to not get caught when we leave him behind than any mule I’ve ever worked with. He really loves to go on adventures and be around people. He is also remarkably calm and nothing seems to bother him. He’s never offered to kick, bite, or even buck during round pen sessions. Bred by Five Mile Farm this stunning 5 year old dun mule comes from champion bloodlines. He is the last colt out of champion jack Jethro who sired 4 National Halter Champions – 2 Mules & 2 Donkeys. His dam is a working cow horse and a registered quarter horse. He’s 15.1hh, with a nice stocky build, and the sweetest disposition, and his color and markings are to die for. Everyone thinks he is part zebra! He tail is very nice as well, he just lost a hunk while being shipped but is is growing back quickly. He is almost pink in color in the summer and his dun factor is out of this world! He truly loves people and runs to meet you at the gate. Turbo was in a pasture for his first 5 years when we purchased him but 5 is truly the ideal time to start a mule and he has been incredibly calm and easy to work with. He received a lot of human interaction but just wasn’t started under saddle. He saddles calmly, will stand calmly while groomed, and picks up all his feet well. We have ponied him for miles and nothing bothers this boy! He hasn’t spooked once, not even on busy roads. He ponies beautifully and we e have put his first rides on him now with no drama. I expect him to be green broke by late summer. I (Katherine Grand) will be riding him in Ty Evans mule clinic in July and we will be taking him into the high country soon.

    Sold Animals Ruby – SOLD to Julie and Dave Horsch in WY

    Ruby- SOLD to Julie Horsch and Dave Glenn in Wyoming

    Ruby is a 9 year old 15hh stunning sorrel mule with white stockings, an dun stripe down her back, white on her tail, and lots of chrome. She is touch control, has a one rein neck rein, she has a great motor, great brakes, and a nice disposition. She is good with her ears, and good for the farrier. She backs up very well, has a nice lope, and very smooth trot. Her color and conformation are to die for. She has been used to work cattle, trail rides beautifully, packs, and crosses water. She is the type of mule that generally makes you walk after her for a couple minutes before being caught but we would definitely not classify her as difficult to catch.

    She did have a minor coronary band injury that causes one hoof to grow thicker below the scar. She will always grow a thicker hoof there and because of this regular hoof care is important. We spoke with her original owner and he said this was caused by a barbed wire injury when she was young and had never caused any lameness. Both her veterinarian and farrier agree that with regular hoof maintenance this injury should not cause any lameness and will be cosmetic.

    We initially sold her to a family with kids and she was not a good fit for them as she took advantage of the kids by testing her boundaries and trying to get away with doing things her way. She was great for the adults and she has been great with all ability riders on her other than complete beginners. With her lovely handle and experienced rider will enjoy this mule much more than a beginner anyway. Even after 6 months post purchase we agreed to trade them another mule that would be a better fit for them. That is how committed we are to our animals and our clients.

    Sold Animals Scout Dun Got It- Sold to the Grosse Family

    Sire: Dun Got It All

    Dam: Friday’s Thundering Spritz

    Registration # : 18-103132

    This stunning colt hit the ground gaiting and he comes from excellent bloodlines. His color and markings are beyond beautiful and he is going to make someone a gorgeous gelding or an exceptional stud. His dam is 16hh and his sire is 14.3hh so we expect him to mature over 15hh. He has been handled since birth and will be available at weaning in December just in time for Christmas. He will pick up his feet, be halter broke, load in a trailer and will be very friendly. Both his dam and sire have excellent dispositions and are very naturally gaited.

    Sold Animals Wonder AKA Mongo – SOLD

    Wonder is a stunning 5 year old bay john mule out of Lake Nowhere’s mammoth gaited jack Genesis and a Percheron/ Tennessee Walker mare. He is an outstanding young mule who will go far, and make everyone proud. Wonder is gaited and 16.2hh. He was imprinted at birth, handled extensively, and he is super friendly, and he is in your pocket. He is the easiest mule to catch and loves people. His build, conformation, height, and disposition are exceptional. We have started him under saddle and have never had an easier time starting a mule. We started him bareback and in a halter at elk camp and he never offered to buck, bolt, or rear. He was fantastic packing this elk season and had quickly learned everything we’ve asked him while maintaining a great attitude. He has been high-lined, hobbled, crossed water, and has been exposed to wildlife, gunfire, and machinery. He has truly been a joy to train and he has lovely smooth gaits. Five years old is a great age to start a mule as there body and mind are much more mature than the typical ages these animals are started. He is already proving to be calm, a quick study, and very willing to learn. He is doing very well under saddle. Check out our facebook page for lots of training videos, photos, and updates.
