[Ag-eq] need to vent

[Michelle Creedy]

Nella, I totally understand and I'd support you no matter what you decided
to do. LOL, wouldn't it be great to show up with the mule a few months later
and sort of rub it in his face though?

Michelle:

That's a good idea, but now I'm not sure I want to give him any of my money.
I
know he has some other people coming to look, but maybe I'll have a friend
call
in a couple of days to find out if the mule is still available.

I know the mule could kick and could drag me down, but how much damage can a
mini do.  I'm an experienced handler and have common sense around equines.
