In 8 I visited Jack Moore with two of our friends, who were satisfied mule owners and had bought from him. I told Jack I needed a safe and sound saddle mule for trail riding, and that I wanted a molly that was 9 to 14 years old. I was 62 at the time, and trail ride about 8 hours per week. I needed a SAFE mount since I cannot fall off since I'm 64 year old woman.
He showed me "Maggie, " and said she'd pulled a carriage in Charleston, been a riding camp mule, and all the other stuff I'd said I was looking for, including that she was the age I wanted. I'd hoped to retire from my riding career in 15 years or so, and wanted a mount to carry me until that point.
I was going to get a pre-purchase vet check from my local vet, but Jack recommended his vet, and I agreed to reimburse him for the his vet's services and to pay the balance on "Maggie" if she checked out. I, by the way, paid Jack's asking price of $4,500 for "the best trained mule you'll ever own, " as advertised by Jack.
