JP
JP is a big, strapping, ruggedly handsome dun & white paint john mule. He stands 15.1 hands and weighs 1237 lbs. He is 12 years old. He has perfect conformation, good thick bone structure, great muscle tone & his color is so cool. He is a completely finished driving, riding and pack mule. He has been living with his sister, Lil his whole life. At home or when traveling, they are easy to handle. They catch, stand tied, eat & drink good, are well behaved, load, haul, and make owning them a breeze. JP & Lil have been driven all over the country and have been hooked to fore carts, pleasure wagons, buggies, farm implements and more. They have been driven in multiple parades, on long overnight wagon rides and also have been used to haul guests on the ranch. No flashing lights, noisy music, or people jumping on & off your wagon will rattle them. They always hold their composure in the toughest of settings. They really shine, even in a 3 up setting, when we put a green mule in the middle of them. They hold their ground like big oak trees. As far as his riding career goes, JP is a good, steady mount. He walks out great on the trails, trudging thru bogs, briars, and deadfall. It is no problem aboard him. He will lead the way, or is happy to ride in the middle or back of the group. We have used him here on the ranch for all types of tasks, both riding & driving. Though he prefers riding along with Lil, he is willing to ride out alone without her or along with other riders. We have lead him in a pack string and used him to lead a pack string. He and Lil would be ideal to switch and use either way. In summary, a new buyer would be getting a 3 for 1 package deal with JP. You can’t go wrong with that. Please feel free to come to Texas & test drive him here on the ranch before the sale. We have great places to try him on the trails, obstacles and an arena, too. We will arrive a little early in Utah, so prospective buyers can ask to try him before the sale, on the trails near Tropic during Bryce Canyon Mule Days.
