Hey Jenny!! Well after a lot of soul searching I put my baby Rupert up for adoption to a wonderful Mule family in Olympia. He was lonely without other mules. As it is an open adoption I will be taking Roop to an in-hand trail class at Happs in Ethel WA. You should check it out!! I am hoping to bring him to OHC for either Nationals or NW trail challenge! You can see him ou You Tube under Rupert the Mule and Ruperts Trail Debut!! Hope to still get Maxines autograph!!

@LankMcCrashnburn I'm glad you found a situation that will work for both you and Rupert. I hope to see you at the show in November. I'll be there with Maxine and Madge!

Hi Jenny!! I can't wait to meet Madge and Maxine!! Well, I have been blessed with a yearling Molly named Stella! Rupert has an amazing family and circumstances changed for us so we have a new baby!! We will be at OHC for the Northwest Trail Challenge to do in-hand. My best friend will have her yearling paint, Bella with her. Please look for us! I am excited to meet you and the girls!!

By the look of the video you sent, you're on your way! I love the back-through combined with the weave through the cones, as well as the trot into the box and stop. I'm going to suggest those obstacles for our trail course here!

You can see the true intelligence of a mule as she not only negotiates the obstacles but also looks around the stadium to see what's going on! Just another walk in the park for her!

I am a true trail rider and had competed in trail classes under the AHSA from 1965 to the early 90's and achieved many high accomplishments. Now I ride for the fun of it but I must say, sometimes I need to get off my mount for various reasons over rough terrain (Las Vegas desert)and my well trained horses don't do what your Jenny did! Their back end moves left or right or they jump ahead of me. You were both amazing! I totally enjoyed watching you both!
