These are pictures of Jacob on his mule Popcorn and Jeremy with his mule Annabell. Our mules are like members of our family, they act more like the family dog, I am not sure they know they are mules. We have two more, you can see them later. Annabell is a very special mule. She was actually born to one of our horses, but was already given to a friend of mines daughter. Brittany babied Goldie (the momma horse) every day, anxiously awaiting the birth of her baby. Brittany died in a car wreck, and Annabell was born the same morning that we laid Brittany to rest. Our sorrow in the loss of our loved one was eased by witnessing one of God's miracles. We arrived at the barn to check on Goldie just as Annabell was making her first tentative steps on those long skinny legs. We cried and we laughed. It was very appropriate for God to give us Annabell to ease our grief and remind us of the gift of life.She is a very special mule indeed...and she knows it!
