Richochet, Spotted Mule

At the National Show this last weekend in Conroe Tx, this big mule gelding was being shown by his trainer.  His sire was said to be a standard "Grey jack" and his dam was "a speckled mostly white appaloosa mare".  This big fellow was the result! Talk about multi-colored spots! Leah Patton, office manager, ADMS All Photos (C) by Leah Patton and may not be reproduced without permission.
