U R my Sunshine, a 6 year old Walking mule made her big debut in Bishop, CA and did outstanding with two different exhibitors. Crystal Ward (pictured body clipping Sunshine, who never moved during the experience), showed her in the Gaited Mule Halter Class and placed 3rd out of 22 mules. Justin Hammerlin, from Fresno, CA who had never ridden a gaited mule, showed Sunshine the Gaited Trail Pleasure (3rd), Ginger Ale Party Class (7th), and in the Gaited English Pleasure Class required to canter (5th). Both Crystal and Justin did a great job with this very talented, young mule. Watch for her in the upcoming years and at Shelbyville, TN in the 4 and under.
Shown by John Allen Callaway, Shelbyville, TN at the Columbia Spring Jubliee Walking Horse Show, and was 4th in the World out of 31 in the Gaited Trail Pleasure at the 15th Annual Great Celebration Mule and Donkey Show.
2007 Columbia Jubilee Walking Mule Champion, ridden by Danny Hughes, KY
These videos were taken 3/3/2010. This mule has not been ridden since the Columbia Jubilee Walking Horse Show in the Walking Mule Champtionship. She won with rider Danny Hughes who is a great walking horse trainer. This has been almost 3 years. Just look how she retains her training and she is also barefooted.
