Faster Horses:  "Anyone who rides a mule is too poor to ride a horse and too proud to ride a cow."

I know that is a true and profound statement, but after attending the auction and mule rodeo in Ralston, Wyoming, it is realized that there are some darned good mules out there.  It was a fun event, and kinda whetted my appetite to once again own a mule.  Sometimes my dear wife thinks I need counseling, bless her heart.   :wink:

One time she and I both showed up at a trail ride mounted on some colorful mules we had acquired from Stillwater, Oklahoma.  A neighbor who is a top cattleman was there, and when he saw my conveyance, said, "If I'd known you didn't have anything to ride, I could have brought an extra horse."  Oh well, we got to the other end of the ride just as he did.
