My good friend Jenny Lance (Lances trailer sales) adopted two foals back in 2014. One was mule along with "The Big Red". This is her update on the big red:
As I stared at the tiny mule thinking if I should adopt, Victoria said she wouldn't let him go alone because he was too young. I asked Rachel which other one would you take? She said the big red one over there. Thus, with that nudge I adopted the two. The Big Red as he is still known was like a safety blanket and mother to the little mule even allowing him to suckle his boy bits. Although the tiny mule was a challenge, The Big Red has always been the kindest, gentlest, easy to educate horse. He has given confidence to small children learning to ride although he stands 17 hands. He is currently an Athens City Equine Police Officer under the tutelage of Officer Destry Flick and carries Officer Flick’s wife and children through the Smokies on trail. The Big Red is one special guy.
