Mules are a fine ride! Thanks for the introduction Bushy! I bet one that big is even a finer ride. They have an easier way about them and usually they're pretty quiet animals. I had a neighbor with mules and Appaloosas, they make a pretty mix.

What's the Missouri Red background? Part Morgan?

RoadJockey...If I still had Joe, he would be 20 years old and still in his prime. I sold him just before I left the USSR of C. He was just a might big to fit in my two horse Miley trailer and make a 2000 mile trip cramped in with Cutter. He fit chest to butt with no room to spare. Not a real happy choice, but I know where he is and get reports of him from time to time.

Suz...I don't know. Let me see if I can find out.

Yeow Bushmas I bet he eats a lot too. Those Belgians are about the biggest they get. I remember seein a pulling contest with a matched pair and that's something I'll always remember because we were admiring them after the pull and one put his foot down on my shoe. It was only on the toe of my shoe not my actual toe but it scared me and pinned me there for a while, I started crying and laughing at the same time. I untied my shoe and got my foot out to everyone's surprise, they thought it was on my foot. Just seconds after I got my foot out it started to pee. You can lead a horse to drink but you can't make it water? OH Yeah!? I missed the drench but my shoe got tossed before the ride home. That's my story and I'm stickin to it.

I like his bigo nose

Belgian Mare...$1

On a different, well not really, note...here is one of the most beautiful horses I have seen in a long time.

Getting back on topic...wonder if she would make a good Super Bowl mascot?

Cheers, Vince

A beautiful animal, Vince, but the Super Bowl already has their Clydesdales. (hey, I only remember them going across the screen once)

That, My friends, is a Haflinger. Might get to be 14.2 or .3 hands high.

Sooo Suz. You like his (Joe's) bigo nose.
