Working Mules Settling Down for a Long Winter's Nap

12/22/2019

​We all see the working mules in the summer on trails, packing gear, or helping in their many different roles. But what do they do during the winter when they are not working? Well, I think I have spotted a few in Gardnerville, Nevada taking a deserving break. They appeared so happy, content, and friendly. There were even a few horses amongst the resting herd. I am so sad I didn't have any treats for them. Of course, the owners may not be too pleased with me if I fed them... but I secretly promised I would return with a few carrots. They are truly beautiful!

I would love to hear from you! What are your experiences with working mules? Share your stories, please! Thank you, Linda

    My love for animals comes from my parents when they use to buy me play horse statues and later my first pony when I was five. The pony was kind of mean, so I then got a horse. One horse later grew to a whole stable of many horses, cats, and a dog.

    We do not have the horse stable anymore, but I still have fond memories. I love all animals, except insects, especially spiders and mosquitos. ​
