TINA
Shown above are Anita and
her mule "Tina" (El Cascabel's Christina). Tina is a 1983 model 15.2
hand sorrel molly mule (spayed). She has earned ADMS' Versatility
Hall of Fame Award as well as numerous Honor Roll Awards. Anita and
Tina have earned Year End High Point Awards with the Gulf Coast Donkey
& Mule Association. Tina is an extremely attractive and versatile
mule who has been shown in everything from Halter, Showmanship, Trail,
English & Western Pleasure, Mulemanship, Command Class, Reining and
Cattle classes. She has been shown by Kimberly Garza in the Youth
classes, and they have competed successfully in open horse shows and 4-H
horse shows as well.
Anita and Tina have given demonstrations at The Texas Zoo in Victoria, Texas, libraries, and for 4-H horse programs to show and teach the athleticism and versatility of mules. They have been a big hit at these demonstrations since Tina is able to maneuver through obstacles with very little clearance while backing, side-passing, and turning on front end or haunches. Tina has proven to "non-believers" that mules can respond to the lightest touch.
