“Doc” is a 16.1-16.2hh dapple grey gelded john mule. He is 8 years old, well broke to pack & green broke to ride.
If you want a big, tough, sweet mule who covers miles like crazy out front (but is also happy to follow along behind) this is your dude. He would be an amazing English prospect.
– Normally the first to the gate, and when he isn’t he’s still usually very easy to catch
– Had a few rides put on him in 2023
– Riding work only started consistently in the last month with mostly trails and only 3 arena rides to date
– Leads, ties without pulling back (but does pace/paw if he’s alone), loads, stands to mount, working on walk/trot under saddle and softening to the bit
– Good with his feet. He is normally barefoot but has been shod for the mountains
– Does not kick, bite, or rear
– Middle of the pecking order
– He’s pretty much the sweetest dude ever once he likes you and trusts you
– He can be very heavy on the bit and likes to shoulder through your aids, this is improving daily.
– He can be sensitive, this is a plus and a minus!
I really like this guy especially now that he’s making such progress. I had big dreams for him but we are building a house, are lacking on the time to give him, and could use any extra 💵. With a bit of consistency and patience he is going to be something extremely special!
