Tonia

Description:

Has ears and will shift gears!!! This lady has all the gears a gaited mule lover could ever ask for! Tonia is one smooth mover! She has that hard-to-find long mane and tail, with a nice build. She stands around 14.3h, is 14 years old, and is a molly mule!!! We originally sold Tonia and several others to a long-time customer in California. This lady has trail ridden all of her horses and mules and always loaned them out for her friends to come over and ride. She has owned Tonia for almost 4 years. But at the age of 84 years old, she had an accident where she tripped over her dog leash and broke both knees and her wrist. Now, 6 months later, still with a long road to recovery ahead of her and barely being able to walk without assistance, getting back to caring for her herd of horses/mules and trail riding are far, far out of the question. She sent her crew back to us in January and requested that we find them another great home, as we intend to do!! Tonia was her first love, bringing her to love the long ears! Tonia has a super smooth 4-beat gait and is smooth at all speeds up to 12mph. She has been ridden around farm equipment, ATVs, over large noisy tarps, and has also had guns shot off of her back. She is not spooky acting, no matter where she goes or what she does. On the trails, she is always great! Tonia has been exposed to all kinds of wildlife, such as deer or turkey or other animals like cows or dogs, and will go anywhere that she is asked to. She has ridden many miles on the beaches of California and the mountains of Eastern Kentucky and encountered every obstacle possible on the trail. She will go up or down even the steepest slopes, across deep creeks, over downed trees, and all rough terrain while still being sure-footed. She has been ridden in traffic and is very safe around cars, semi, log, and dump trucks. She has a great personality and a great attitude about whatever she is asked to do. Feel free to call with any questions.
