[Ag-eq] a visit with children

[Jewel]

I imagine that, somewhere in NewZealand,someone has a mule,but they are, extremely thin on the 
ground.
It is great that Jack is proving that mules can be really nice animals as, in general, they are 
portrayed as being nasty bad-tempered critters that would have the back out of your breeches in the 
twinkle of an eye if you were foolhardy enough to turn your back on them!Do they whinny or bray, and 
if the latter, is it ,similar to a donkey.  Going by sound alone, would you be able to tell if it 
was a mule or a donkey that spoke?

Yesterday one of my coworkers brought her grand children over to see the
animals.  They were both under 5, so had lots of energy and questions.  They
were frightened at first, but were much more comfortable by the time they left.

They fed the goats apples and carrots, so then the goats wanted to follow them
everywhere.  They also fed Jack and Cruiser and had pony rides on Jack.  As
usual Jack was a perfect gentleman and walked slowly and carefully.  In the
beginning they were afraid of Jack, but after sitting on him they were willing
to take a few steps and after a few steps they didn't want to stop!  Jack is 30
and seen and done most everything, to my knowledge nothing upsets him.  He
seemed to enjoy his little outing.  I love being able to share the animals with
other people this way.
