If you’ve been paying attention to the mule world, a mule recently sold for around $100,000. Now, I’m not claiming Zeke is the $100,000 mule—but at $17,000, he’s an absolute bargain for someone looking for a solid, dependable partner with a great mind and a bright future. Zeke stands a solid 15 hands and is up-to-date on all his vaccinations and care. He was just trimmed and is barefoot, sound, and ready to rock ‘n’ roll. He’s got the breeding to back him up too—his sire was a mammoth 16.3-hand donkey jack, and his dam was a 14.3-hand Haflinger mare, giving him the size, substance, and disposition that make him such a standout mule.
Every place we take Zeke, he just keeps getting better. In addition to working cattle in a large arena, he’s been doing trail rides and even helping with beginner riding lessons. He’s comfortable in the arena, confident on the trail, and handles new situations, new riders, and new environments without missing a beat. Let a stranger hop on him, rope off him, or put him to work, and he takes it all in stride. He’s the kind of mule that makes you smile every time you swing a leg over him.
Zeke is suitable for riders of all levels and has proven himself to be patient, willing, and dependable. Whether he’s teaching lessons, heading out on a trail ride, or going to work in the arena, he stays steady and honest, making him an enjoyable partner for a wide variety of riders.
He’s got a big personality, a great work ethic, and the kind of versatility that’s getting harder and harder to find. Whether you’re looking for a ranch mule, trail partner, cattle mule, lesson mule, or an all-around fun riding companion, Zeke is the real deal.
