Re: [RC] arab mules - Maryanne Gabbani

It's a funny story actually. The stallion was bred by a very well known breeder here and sold to someone as a riding horse. Since this is Egypt, he was never gelded, but he injured his legs in a jumping accident and was left to recuperate at the stables of a rival breeder here. The owner was a friend of the second breeder, so the stallion had a place to stay and was well cared for when the owner was transferred back to the US. After a few years, the owner indicated that a good home should be found for the stallion as he wasn't really wanted by his host, and one of my neighbours was given a lovely Egyptian Arab stallion. He does trail rides and stands at stud for local breedings, produces lovely foals. Here's hoping.

Hmmm, never thought of that before, but I guess if all or most of the horses are Arabs, then most the mules are going to be Arab mules. Now, how are you going to get your donkey bred without letting the breeder see her?

All of our mules are Arab mules and some of them are stunning. I'm
planning to breed my donkey to an Arab stallion here but we can't tell
the breeder. She's a sweet old lady (well, semi-sweet) and she'd freak.
