Hi Fellow Fjord Fanciers, The subject of Fjord mules is one I couldn't resist. I have met a pair of Fjord mules up close and personal. They looked just like Fjords with long ears. Their owner uses them for farm work and shows such as the Drummond days. They are extremely smart and have the Fjord attitude of being personable and need to please. I am not a big mule fan but our neighbor Jack Eden , the famous mule trainer, helps us put our Fjords in harness uses draft mules for everything. I would be proud to drive the pair of Fjord mules I met. They were Quite impressive and were real people pleasers. I probably get 1 inquiry a month from folks who would like to purchase Fjord mules. I always give the stock answer of no outcrossing but in the case of mules I think it would be a good thing. Genetically the breed would still be pure and the wonderful Fjord attributes would make a mule worth looking at . I'm just not too sure how a Fjord mare would take those big ears. Jack thinks that the Fjord mule would be the best of the best. that's something coming from a pillar of the mule community. This is just my thoughts for you all to take or leave Denise Galbraith
