Look what I bought today!

[Fairynuff]

Lady being harrassed by animal protection group has decided to get rid of most of her animals and this little colt was headed for the market. Me being me, offered to buy him. All I have to do is figure out what I'm going to do with a 4 month old colt mule. Once his passport and Coggins test is sorted out he will be coming home. He is definately up for a name change so any ideas are welcome (he's called Pepito at the mo ) Thats his mum in the pic.

my batteries went so these are the only pics I have-awful!

Utterly adorable

Give me an idea of personality, so i can choose an appropriate name!

 

[doratheexplorer]

[Alphamare]

[Boxers]

Aw - he's sweet. I like the name Pepsi too.

 

[JingleTingle]

gorgeous little chap - are you into NH in any way - maybe Monty the Mule?

 

[ChesnutsRoasting]

Bruno - brown haired in Italian

 

[Jesstickle]

What a sweety. You should call him Muffin of course. It is the only name for mules!

What test did you say he has to have?

 

[MrVelvet]

ooooh I like him hahah what are you going to do with him?

I like Mojo and Milo or MUFFIN!!!

 

[piebaldsparkle]

What a sweety. You should call him Muffin of course. It is the only name for mules!

What test did you say he has to have?

Agree has to be Muffin

I think Coggins test is to test for EIA (but don't quote me).

 

[Meowy Catkin]

He's lovely.

I'm looking forward to seeing more photos.

 

[martlin]

Cool! What do you mean what to do with him?! Mule jumping, of course - the most awesome equine sport ever
and yes, coggins is the blood test for EIA

 

[bumblelion]

He looks gorgeous! I actually quite like pepito!

 

[DougalJ]

Love his ears! Well done you

 

[s4sugar]

Lovely.

Any idea of the sire's size?
How long until he can get a nut job? It always worries me the way mules can hold them up so they can't be gelded young if you miss the foal window.


He looks like an Eric or a Simon to me.

 

[padderpaws]

pepito is a great name and i think it suits him.

 

[skydancer]

how lovely - well done you! As for names coco?

 

[Emilieu]

Another vote for keeping pepito I think it suits him! He's gorg and looks full of mischief! Bet you have a lot of fun with him.

 

[Kat]

I think pepito is cool, suits him!

He's very cute!

As to what to do with him, break him when old enough and do what ever you would do with a horse.

Mules are quite normal in the states, we rode them over there and they were just like normal horses with big ears! They are apparently easy to keep and train if a little opinionated!

 

[Gingerwitch]

Slippers or flip as in flip folp

 

[RubysGold]

Was relieved to see someone asked what a coggins test before I did..... But it didnt help as I have no idea what EIA is????

Hes beautiful!!!! what a wee stunner! I want to see more photos!!!

 

[Jesstickle]

EIA is equine infectious anaemia. That bit I know

We use it at work to make RT. Or rather we try to. lol

 

[millhouse]

He is lovely. Hope you will have fun with him.
