Peach is riding a saddle made by Harry Adams, Jr. He at one time had a saddle shop in Valentine, Nebraska. He died in 2001.

Do you think I'd make Peach ride something that I can't ride? :wink: Delilah is the mule that got me off this spring, so to keep my manly pride, she is the one I rode at Fort Rob. Her mother is an own daughter of Colonel Freckles, and Delilah genetically inherited some fast cutting horse moves, and cutting cattle doesn't need to be part of the equation. :roll: Peach is riding Tanactin. He is the one I purchased at Jake Clark's Mule Days sale in 2007, when he was six years old. He had been raced quite often before we got him, and he at times still has sort of a barrel racing horse's mentality, or lack thereof. :wink:

Glenn is from somewhere not too far southwest of Denver, Colorado, and Eric is from the state of Washington. It is easy to see that they are both very good at their chosen occupation.
