Mule Monday

Often as I drive up Route 5, on the Connecticut River side of the state, I glimpse this unusual odd couple.


 

 The small white Arabian pony and the giant draft mule are a well known landmark in the village.

I frequently visit and photograph them.

I just can't help myself. 


 

Let me introduce you to Pearl, the Mule and her sidekick Charlie the pony.

If you ever visit Vermont you will probably see them and smile.

Make sure you have horse treats in your pocket because they greet you and ask......


 


Got apples ?



So I ask you:

Got MULE ?

    I would have expected the horse being white to be named Pearl! LOL

    I don't have a mule, but I do have a donkey that, Lord willing, will be bred to a stallion and give us a hinney next spring. I'm excited.
