   The lady on the right is Sugarsmom.

     She hails from North Carolina .

Mulereiner, a founding member of The Mule Skinners Forum and Mule Chat. She resides in Arkansas and some nice trail riding close by. Here she is on her mule she calls Legs.

Miss Pea rides in from southern Ohio. This shot was taken in one of the box canyons at Hocking Hills

Joining us from Alaska, yes mules in Alaska, is Wantj43 from the forum.  He helps keep us informed when we have packing questions and has very nice sense of humor. Just look behind him at where he rides. Spectacular

Martha ↑ and Brian ↓ join us from down in Mississippi. Martha rides the great Oscar mule. Believe me, stature is all that mule is short on. Brian's mule, Highfly is the ears with legs in their barn. Brian and Martha ride and camp as often as they can.

Joining us from Indiana is LeapofFaith. Faith is her first mule and she has learned a lot from the folks in the forum and Mule Chat. She and her husband are teachers and operate a hay farm. 

MLChuck  brings his experience of back country riding and packing to the forum from his base camp in Oregon.

Mulesinmo is from where ? Missouri of course. I know you saw that. She and her husband enjoy taking the big mules into town for the local holiday parade.

As you can see, less than perfect weather doesn't stop them from enjoying their mules.

Weigie rides into camp from the state of Washington and looks like has a great time, judging from that smile. The mule is named Hannah and just look at those ears pointing straight up for the camera ! Now that's a good mule J.

Sue joins us from across the pond in the UK.

The mule you see her with here was UK Champion Mule with Sue at the reins. Her mule became to lame to work with and do regular daily riding so is now retired to a fine country way of easy life. Mules are not easily come by in UK but Sue will have another as soon as the right one happens along. We're all pulling for that to happen soon for her.

MtMuleskinner rides in from Montana to visit the forum. His wife and daughter also ride . They all participate in Montana Mule Days and have a great time showing the mules against the horses in the local shows. MtMuleskinner also enjoys taking hunting trips and uses his mules to pack in camp and pack out the game he bags.

Joann74 comes in from Missouri with her mule, Mona. Her husband rides a short ear but at least it's a pretty and gaited one. Maybe someday she'll convert him over. Joann rides and camps as often as she can, which like the rest of us, isn't enough.

 Scootermule and his wife are such a fun couple to camp and ride  with. They'll keep right up with you, don't let those big mules fools ya. Slow is not their gear. This couple lives in Southern Ohio and now they are both retired and they intend to enjoy many days exploring new trails together.

This is Mulerider_50 and his mule Sierria  riding in part of the Shawnee National Forest in Illinois.  You'll find these two out there most every weekend.

 Ladymulerider also rides the Shawnee National Forest and lives in Ill. , in fact, she and Mulerider_50 are often found together.  J

Rick is one of our newer members and shares this picture of he and his wife, Janet. They are riding in the West Elk Wilderness in Western Colorado and this area is called Backwith Pass. Handsome mules and beautiful country.

 Meet Peppersmom . Bonnie is from Upper New York and her donkey, Pepper, is great donkey for her. These two get along so well. They both started of green together, Bonnie says Pepper knew a little more than she did. They enjoy trail riding, showing and camping. They are a great pair for ambassadors for donkeys because Bonnie will try anything once and Pepper is right there with her.

Horsedds is how she's known in the forum. Riding in from New Jersey she's an  avid trail rider, go any where try any trail. She and her mule, Ginger, also take on the horses in competitive trail events. The horse people didn't realize how great mules were at such events, but this team has showed them how mules can win. J

This is Cris, of RodnCris from the forum. Now as I understand it, Cris has the short ears but hopes to catch up to her husband before long and have some long ears of her own. Hard to believe her husband would keep them nice long ears to himself.

  A father and son outing. Riding that cute mule is Mitch, we call him Zeek in the forum. Zeek is actually the mules name and the man standing next to the model T is Mitch's dad. Nice to see them sharing interests.

Windywoodsmules joins us from the coast of Maryland. This is Charles and his buddy Ben. Everyone has their favorite mule and Ben was that mule for Charles. Riding is a family affair with Charles as you see later in other pastures around the farm.

Right in the center of this picture is Paul and Rocky. They joined us on their first Mule Chat Trail ride last year. Paul joins us from Pennsylvania and plans to do some hunting from the back of a mule.

This is JAYEMULE and her mule, Zeb.  This team is from Ohio and they ride at Hocking Hills a good bit so if you see them be sure to say howdy.

Say howdy to Sugarsmom, Kim (on the right) and her honey Duane. They were riding in a Veterans Day Parade in Winston Salem, NC.  She is fine addition to the gang in the forum.

Aren't the babies just darling ! The long ear and the short ear . This is Baxter sharing time with his daughter and a new born mini .
