[RC] baby mule not half arab - Tx Trigger

David Ketscher  in CA did CDE carriage driving events with a lovely mule named "Mariah Carey". She was a pretty grey color, and her dam was an Arab. Indeed, the Arab registry does not allow 1/2 Arab registration for mules.  I would guess that deep down inside, they would not want a "mule" to go to an Arabian show and beat their horses. hehe  Mules have not gotten recognition in international events except for endurance for years. In fact, they were not allowed to compete. (I think that is being changed) Imagine a mule going to a FEI dressage show and kicking butt against those warmbloods.  <snicker>   Anyway, Davids mule was a nice, nice one, that did very well in Combined Driving events. We joked to him that when he was asked to write in what breed his animal was on entries, to write in "Desert Warmblood"
