Sounds like you have a pretty good set up now Wes. My old Appalosa is 22 now. He's pretty much "retired". Was a good mountain horse, and we covered lots of sandhills/grasslands down in the prairie chicken areas, so he deserves it. When he goes I'd like to find a good mule. There's some places up near Taos that have mules with Paso Fino and/or Tennessee Walker in them, and they ride like a dream.
