Loretta is a 12 y.o lineback Dun Molly mule. Loretta has been with us since she was 5. Her rider began riding her also at the age of 5. Now both 12, she needs another child or young adult. Prior to purchase, Loretta completed two Ty Evan’s clinics. You will not find a better mountain mule, bred for tough country. Endless hours in the steep terrain. Loretta as been through parades, 4h clinics, 4h patterns, obstacle courses, hunting trips, pocker rides, thick timber, downed logs, lunges…you name it. Loretta has allowed her young rider to crawl between her legs, run and jump on her, play around, stand on her back, rolling off the back dismount. She accepts the hose, roaching of her mane, abuse by water noodles, pin wheels, tarps, fire truck sirens. Loretta has extremely sound feet and exceptional with the farrier, stand near deer and elk carcass (never actually packed meat- can’t believe it would remotely be an issue). Loads in the trailer with ease. Does not spook on the trail. Loretta in a small group will meet you at the gate, in a larger herd plays a little come get me. Our daughter, Loretta’s rider can always catch Loretta. Climbs, stands, 360 on an elevated wooden plank. Can be entirely covered in a tarp without spooking. Will stand at the trailer for hours. Up to date on shots, worming. Recently completed Coggins a John Day vet for out of state travel. Can be a little herd bound but if you point her nose and give her a push she moves out. She can walk out in front on a ride or hang in the back. Can ride in a stock trailer with 8 other mules as long as she is the last one in, not squeezed between larger animals. If not ridden for awhile can do some leg kick outs IF you push her to lope. She lopes wonderfully just wants you to know she needs respected. Never bucked her rider. Simple trail ride she handles a beginner rider, intermediate for loping. Lots of videos and pictures on request. Currently in Kimberly Or, can be hauled to Albany Or for some fuel money. Loretta comes with saddle, breast collar and Brichen.
