Highlights for March
Though it may not look like it in some parts of the country, spring is on its way! If not already, the weather will soon start warming up, and I'm sure you'll be as anxious as I am to get out and start doing things with the equines!
I was just browsing through the event calendar on Longears Mall to see what fun events are coming up during the month of March. Here are a couple that you might enjoy.
San Rafael Trail Ride - March 13-15
If you are located in or near Utah, you'll enjoy joining the Rocky Mountain Mule Association on their trail ride in the Fuller Bottom/San Rafael Swell area. The San Rafael Swell is one of Utah's lesser known treasures. It features beautiful red rock cliffs and desert hills, and is also home to wild burros. What a great place to explore! RMMA is a fantastic group of people to hang out with. I'm sure you'll enjoy this ride!
Houston Livestock Show - March 20-22
The Houston Livestock Show will be holding is donkey and mule events the weekend of March 20-22. This sounds like a weekend of fun! As described on their website:
"A Donkey and Mule Show features classes of talented donkeys and mules jumping, pulling carts and competing with the nation’s top animals."
"This event not only highlights donkey and mule competition, but it also features the popular mule pull, donkey snigging and the donkey single hitch obstacle driving contests. Competition also includes the “Ear of the Year” awards for the donkey and mule whose measurable ear spans are the widest."
Do you know of another exciting mule or donkey event that we don't have listed on the calendar yet? Please send us an email with the info so that we can add it!
