You don't appear to do anything without thinking it through and I agree beautiful Tessa would be a good mom. If you are considerinmg this your health/shoulder must be feeling pretty good, the donkeys seem to be thriving and you have the support of your nearby friends. And the support and help of a good veterinarian. I remember your blogs when Emma was close to birthing and your frustration about being unable to get a vet to the farm to check Emma. And look at all you had to learn to get Ramsey and Ben healthy again. It looks like you have found a passion so follow your heart. We will certainly be happy to blog along with you and support you.Sue S.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432762024762532275.post-66122608860581299102018-04-24T01:09:31.365-04:002018-04-24T01:09:31.365-04:00I'm a solid "B" - - let's be cra...I'm a solid "B" - - let's be crazy together!

I've always liked Tessa; she'd be a great mom as you've already said, and she'd throw a beautiful baby, for sure. I keep coming back to the "fun" part- you have lots of loving support and a big cheering section!<br /><br />That said, I have to agree with "Anonymous" about adopting. There are thousands of foals in need. I know mules aren't part of the nurse-mare-foal or Premarin/PMU-foal problems, but there must be some adoptable ones out there. If it was up to me, I think I'd check out that option thoroughly first. Although I love mules and foals of all breeds, I'm a big supporter of the "It's Not Imperative that Your Mare Have a Foal" club. But that's just me, and we're not talking about me; this is wholly your decision. I know you'd do a fabulous job of raising and training a mule baby, though! How exciting!

What is the training plan? Do you have the knowledge/time/grit/good health insurance :) for equine training? Or do you know someone you trust to do the saddle training? What if something terrible happens to your mare or the foal? Are you financially and emotionally prepared for that? And back to the training & handling. An old muleskinner once told me mules shouldn't even be born until they're 10 years old. I believe this was shortly before his sedated mule jumped out of the dentistry stocks and almost crushed me. She was well trained but not happy. Are you prepared to deal with a young mule? They aren't necessarily like horses or donkeys.
