Wallace the mule under threat again.

[milliepops]

IIRC Wallace doesn't canter yet so she does have that going for her on the Valegrometer

 

[tristar]

i thought they were the same species or am i about to be enlightened?

 

[ester]

who valegro and Millie or the mule?

Mules aren't a species if that helps?

 

[ycbm]

Well personally I think Millie is more like valegro given what she can produce than even the most horse-like Mule so I was a bit confused what you did mean.

Well I hope at the very least you didn't assume I was trying to be rude.

I meant that if you lopped off Wallace's ears, he would look more like a Welsh D than Valegro or a Shire look like a Welsh D.

So genetics aside, going by appearances only, I can't see the point of excluding mules. I think it's a shame for mule owners of they get banned. I think they add character to horse sport.

 

[milliepops]

but the whole point is they aren't wanting to put genetics aside any more

 

[milliepops]

allowing people to try and ride zebras in competition would add character, but horse sport isn't really about putting on a circus IMO

 

[ycbm]

My mule has just retracted her application for an FEI passport and is very sad she won't be making her International dressage debut anytime soon.
I think she's more Valegro than donkey......

Gawjuss!
