Marie's story

Updated on: May 16th, 2009

Lonesome's book is now closed for 2009. We will no longer be shipping semen or taking outside mares. After 12 years of producing many of the country's most gaited, gorgeous and trainable mules, he and I both are looking forward to retiring him to a pasture full of good gaited jennets. Now this will be good news for many of you who have searched in vain for a gaited jack like Lonesome! I should have weanlings next year and I do have a waiting list already so be sure to let me know if you would like to be contacted about the arrival of a Lonesome Jack or Jennet.

We will continue to list client mules out of Lonesome that come up for sale.

As always, I love to talk mules and will be available for answering questions either by phone or email.

NOTE: The Colorado Celebration is having gaited mule classes and opening several fun and versatility classes to mules. I plan on going and would encourage you to bring your gaited mules to wow the gaited horse folks!

I have been working with the American Gaited Mule Association in building a web site. So far I have been as lax in keeping it up to date as I have been with this one, but that will change this year! This is going to be a great place to advertising your gaited mules for sale, find gaited mules to buy, and just find out what is going on in the industry. So take a look at the AGMA web site.

Happy Trails!

What is a gaited mule?
The American Gaited Mule Association

A gaited mule is any mule that has a smooth gait other than a walk, and one which is distinct from a trot. Some gaits are; single-foot, fox-trot, rack, running walk, stepping pace, paso fino, and other smooth gaits, whatever you might call them.
Whatever the gait may be called, its primary virtue is smoothness. The gaited mule (or horse, for that matter) can be ridden farther without discomfort from the bouncing one experiences at a trot, and at a more manageable pace than a canter. A gaited mule is great for trail riding, for obvious reasons.

Mission Statement
Since the beginning of R&M, our purpose has been to raise naturally gaited saddle mules of good conformation and superior temperament and to promote the gaited saddle mule. In honor of my husband's memory, I will continue to do this and raise the type of mule that he loved and that have made R&M a success in the mule industry.
