My apprenticeship this Summer/Fall with Dave Claus has been interesting with the addition of Sally Anne and Big John (or Jumpy John), two Percheron Mules that belong to Eleven Roses Ranch in beautiful Spring Valley. They are driving mules that we are training under saddle--it's been alot of fun! We are finally cantering on them and it's a bit choppy until they learn how to balance a rider. Their trot is soooo smooth. I have gained a new respect for the Mule! :)
