When you think of a Mule, does an image of a stubborn pack
animal come to mind? Well, Buckeye is here to show the world
otherwise! A flashy 2008 Leopard Appaloosa John Mule owned by
Christina Gregory, Buckeye is making a name for himself in the
dressage arena. Buckeye is trained and shown by SAMMI Majors, who
shares “the wonderful thing about dressage is that any breed can
do it. ” when it comes to training Mules, SAMMI points out that
not much differs except that Mules don't care for repetitive
exercises, and they retain their training well. The pair also
does a lot of cross training, including over fences classes at
Mule shows. Currently competing in open 2nd level and open 1st
level freestyle, one of their proudest achievements was scoring a
70. 3% in their 1st level freestyle at the 2017 National dressage
show in Tryon under an “O” rated judge. While their appearance
may differ from that of their typical dressage competition, SAMMI
and Buckeye are happy to share the Mule love and add some
fantastic floppy ears to the show ring. from the Manufacturer:
