Molly Mule is the most versatile mule I have ever gotten to work with. From the show arena to the high mountains she is an all around hand. Molly is very soft and light to rein, leg and seat aids; making her a smooth easy ride.
Molly has a large array of skills. She guides easily off of just legs and seat at all gaits. Big or small circles, serpentines, canter departures, good hard stops, spins and back up, all off just leg and seat aids. She also collects up beautifully and has a natural dressage quality movement. Her trot and canter are very smooth while covering lots of ground.
Molly can also sidepass, back arcs, leg yield, haunches in and drag logs. She hobbles, highlines, trailers, good with her feet, stands great to saddle or mount, will pick you up to mount off anything, and has excellent ground manners. She has moved cattle both in an arena setting and out on the range.
Molly also travels in the mountains with all the ease and savvy you would expect from a mule. She has a forward walk that will take you as far as you want to go. Crosses water and any rugged terrain you can imagine. She is sure-footed and always chooses the best path in rough terrain. Molly is very watchful and aware of her surroundings but not jumpy.
She has attended a roping clinic and roped a few live cattle as well as the hot heels. She is willing and handles the pressure of roping well. She has only roped the heel side of live cattle but was willing to drag to the fire and stand an hold calmly through the whole process. She tracks up on cattle well and is quiet and calm while in the herd.
Molly is a great all-around mule that would excel in western dressage, working equitation, or competitive trail. She would also be happy just being an excellent trail mule.
